Director Bobby got the massive opportunity to work with Megastar Chiranjeevi and he seems to have delivered an out-and-out mass entertainer in the form of ‘Waltair Veerayya’. Apart from Chiru, he even brought his first film hero Ravi Teja onboard as well raising the expectations heavily on this project. The songs and posters have generated a positive buzz on the movie and the team recently held a grand press meet which got a lot of attention.
Talking about how ‘Waltair Veerayya’ went onto the sets, the ‘Power’ director said, “I didn’t have the second half ready when I first approached Chiranjeevi garu to narrate the story. After listening to the first half, he told me where is the story. Though he liked his characterization and basic idea, he wanted me to work on the emotional part as well. When he gave me the task of writing the climax and villain part, I got the idea of including another hero. When I told the same to producer Naveen garu, he got excited. I readied two different versions- one with the changes proposed by Chiranjeevi garu and the other with addition of Ravi Teja’s character. He liked the second version and gave his go-ahead nod.”
About Ravi Teja’s inclusion, he said, “I was meeting Ravi Teja regularly, but I didn’t tell him about the proposal. After 6 months, after the story was locked, I told him to hear the story. He listened to the story and came on board. Thanks to my producers for believing in me. Devi who has good judgment on stories gave Veerayya the theme song on the day, I told him the story.”
Bobby is hyping up the interval a lot as he stated, “Mohan Raja garu created a great impact with no dialogues for Chiru for GodFather interval. But the interval of Waltair Veerayya will create a mass Jathara. The 8 mins episode will give you goosebumps. You will know why we are using the term Poonakalu regularly, after watching the episode.”
Bobby sounded very confident during his speech and let us see how things turn out when the mass entertainer hits the screens on 13th January.
