Sivakarthikeyan, who’s ready for the discharge of his newest film Prince, had an epiphany of kinds when he was sitting idle throughout the Covid-induced lockdown. He felt that there was a void within the comedy style as a full-fledged humour movie has grow to be a kind of rarity. And that turned a set off level for him to lap up the chance to work with younger filmmaker Anudeep KV, who’s making heads flip together with his clear humour in Telugu cinema.
“When I was sitting at home during Covid and watched content on OTT platforms, I felt there were fewer humour films. I wondered, why was that. And it struck me that I came here to do comedy. So I should stop wondering about it, and do a humour film. At that time, I met Anudeep. I had also seen his movie Jathi Ratnalu. In that film, all characters had a certain innocence and some characters were even dumb. That film was very simple and fun. And I wanted to give a film like that a try. Nobody will say no to laughing,” Sivakarthikeyan mentioned in an interview with Galatta Plus.
Written and directed by Anudeep KV, Prince marks Sivakarthikeyan’s debut in Tollywood. Thanks to the director’s rising recognition within the Telugu states, the star feels the movie has larger visibility there in comparison with his earlier films.
If Prince turns into a business success, will probably be Sivakarthikeyan’s third win in a row. His final two movies Doctor and Don exceeded expectations by bringing crowds again to theatres in big numbers regardless of the prevalence of Covid on the time.
“They (the audience) want a mix of everything, comedy, dance, emotions and songs. It should be a film that could be enjoyed by all age groups. Doctor was a risky attempt, we knew it very well. The reason it worked was that film had a humour quotient that met the audience’s expectations. What I understand from the success of Doctor and Don is they are okay with me doing any kind of genre but I should not fail to entertain them,” he added.
Sivakarthikeyan famous that he makes each determination preserving in thoughts the ‘business angle’ to make sure no stakeholder will endure from his selections. “I would love to do all kinds of genres but I can’t see how I would fit in a film that has too much violence. It all depends on what kind of director handles the project and I can’t make that decision just based on a script,” the actor mentioned.
Sivakarthikeyan mentioned that Prince talks about urgent issues of geopolitics in a quite simple method. He even described this movie as an “anti-war movie.” “If this pattern of humour works for the audience, it will be a new experience for them,” he added.
Prince additionally stars Sathyaraj and Maria Ryaboshapka. The movie is due in cinemas on October 21.
