In the pre-release, Nagarjuna said, “Chay could relate more to Gautham Menon’s style of filmmaking, where it’s all about him, his girl and his bike (laughs). In this film, he plays the role of a youngster who’s from Vizag and for someone who has never lived that sort of life, it’s tough to envision how to approach the character.”
“I really wanted him to do a film which will appeal to everyone, no matter what their socio-economic background is. And ‘Rarandoi Veduka Choodham‘ is exactly that kind of film. Kalyan’s take on relationships – whether it’s between father and his son, or father and his daughter – is quite interesting and we had people like Satyanand, GK Mohan helping us out with the script,” he further added.
“Initially, I thought Chay was holding himself back, but now he has eased up a lot. I think it’s all because of Samantha (laughs). I can see a stark change in him ever since he has been in a relationship with Samantha. They say that a man realizes his potential only after he turns 30. Maybe that could also be another reason,” Nagarjuna laughs.
He finally concluded, “I have left the decision to them to decide when they want to get married. I have known Samantha for a while now and we became very close during the shoot of Manam. Initially, she used to call me ‘sir’, but now, I’ve convinced her to call me ‘Mama’ (laughs).”
Having worked with Nagarjuna in the past for ‘Soggade Chinni Nayana’, Kalyan Krishna was the natural choice to direct this family drama; however, it took a while before Naga Chaitanya was confident about pulling off the role.
