How did you get interested in films?
When I studying in Ballari, Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Satya’ was released. I decided to become director after watching that film. As I have no background support, I worked somewhere after completing my engineering. Later I decided to make different film and the result is ‘Sasesham’ and ‘Bhoo’. Even though, the film ‘Bhoo’ was not successful commercially, it brought fame to me as director.

Okay, ‘Devi Sri Prasad goes to which genre?
This is my third film. The film is being made with a suspense thriller concept blended with a never before touched point and unexpected twists.

It’s an out and out suspense movie blended with commercial elements.
