Is Mallepuvvu an effort to juxtapose the softness of the heroine with the ruggedness of the hero?
No. The hero does the role of a laborer. In tune with the story, he encounters with the heroine. We need a hero like him. In fact, when Ramesh Varma made the script, Murali Krishna (hero) was very much there in his mind. You watch the film and tell us whether our selection is good or not. You are a mass director. This is a romantic entertainer as you said. How did you go through this transformation? A director who can’t adapt himself to varied subject is not at all a director. This is my personal feeling. To be frank, I was vexed with the failure of Vijayadasami. That time, I thought of doing a soft, silent and realistic love story with a powerful backdrop subject. So it is my urge to pass through the transformation. So, I could achieve it so easily. Why dedicating this to (late Sobhan Babu)? Is there any inspiration from the title (Mallepuvvu) of that yesteryears hit of him? No, just we want to put the title Mallepuvvu and this is not an ordinary title. Entire Andhra Pradesh people kn
