Suhas implies that his May 3rd release 'Prasanna Vadanam' is unique in many respects. Talking about the USP of the film, he endorses debutant director Arjun YK. The versatile actor is currently doing eight projects. Catch him talk about the film and more.
I loved the concept of face blindness. Also, the director has treated the story as a survival drama with deftness. The screenplay and the climax are gripping. It's these factors that drove me to do the film. I will be seen as an RJ who gets into trouble due to his face blindness disorder. How he extricates himself out of the mess is what the crux of the story is about.
We did an acting workshop for many days. I participated in the workshop for ten days. I worked with the director to understand the dimensions and boundaries of my character. That helped me understand the nuances of the character.
Since my character suffers from face blindness, it was not easy to give the expressions thoroughly. I hope I have cracked the code, though. Also, the fights are not usual in the film. Doing them was not a straightforward task.
Arjun YK may be a new director but he has worked with Sukumar garu in the past. With that experience, he could handle 'Prasanna Vadanam' like a pro. Collaborating with him was a very good experience.
Manikanta JS, one of the producers, was the co-producer for 'Colour Photo' and 'Family Drama'. Teaming up with him was like working on my home banner. He is a good friend. He didn't compromise anywhere on quality. I look forward to working more and more with him.
Payal Radhakrishna is paired up with me. Raashi Singh has a crucial role. Nithiin Prasanna, Nandu and Viva Harsha have also important roles.
I watched the first copy at Annapurna Studios. Watching it made me emotional. I hugged the director with joy. The film has shaped up amazingly well! The audience are going to love it.
When I listen to stories, I do it with a blank state of mind. I think like an audience member. The story has to be exciting and clap-worthy for me to latch on to it.I like my characters in 'Colour Photo', 'Family Drama' and 'Ambajipeta Marriage Band'. Those characters were variegated.
I am doing eight projects currently. It's challenging to handle those many but I manage it somehow. I work closely with my manager to ease out things. Soon after the shoot, I return home. I go to bed at 10 pm. I wake up at 5 am.
My film with Dil Raju Productions will come out in theatres in July. It's a new-age comedy entertainer. 'Cable Reddy' is also on the cards. The Amazon Prime Video project with Keerthy Suresh will go on the floors soon. I am going to do a film with director Karthik Subbaraj. I am also doing a film titled 'Anandrao Adventures'.
