Talent alone is not enough to shine in the film industry, one should have a little bit of luck on his side. Bobby Alias Ravindra is one of those lucky guys.
By showing his talent as a story writer and assistant director he got a chance to direct Ravi Teja. He went on to direct stars like Pawan Kalyan, NTR later.
He directed a multistarrer with Venkatesh – Naga Chaitanya. If everything goes according to the plan, he is going to direct Megastar Chiranjeevi now. This is the career graph of Bobby irrespective of hits, average films.
Let us have a chat with him.
How are you spending time in lockdown?
I’m finetuning the already okayed story. I’m developing it into a full script.
Are you readying the script for Megastar?
Yes. I have narrated him a story. He liked it. I’m improvising it.
It seems you are lucky. You have done a few films but all the films are with big stars
Just luck is not enough. We should also have stuff. We should have stories, we should be able to develop them and narrate to them. I thank everybody from Ravi Teja who gave me the first opportunity by identifying me, and all others who gave me opportunities.
Why there is a gap between a film to film?
What should we do, there are many directors.
We have many heroes, right?
Yes. But they are lining up a couple of new projects while their current project is going on. So, it takes some time for us to get an offer.
Are you anxious, tense because of Megastar fanbase because you are going to do a film with him?
I’m also one of the fans. I came to the industry by watching his films.
How are you going to present your favorite hero as a fan?
The way fans like him. This is not the time to reveal more.
You’ve done a film with Victory Venkatesh. Did you learn philosophy from him?
Let us keep aside philosophy, I have learned family values from him. I came to know that we should give enough time, value to our family irrespective of our profession. I used to miss my daughter during ‘Venky Mama’ shoot. When I shared the same thing with him he told “The lives of cinema people are like that. Children will grow up and we will not notice it. So, we should give them enough time”. He said many things like these.
Do you really follow them?
Luckily I’m spending time with my daughter for the last two months due to corona lockdown. I’m observing her growth.
