Mahesh Babu Pachigolla is in focus right now. The engineering graduate-turned-filmmaker is releasing his second film Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty on 7 September.
“I have evolved and made an earnest attempt. I was honest with what I was doing. A lot of factors have aligned with my ideology and work,” the director said.
I met director Sukumar and asked him if I could be his assistant director. He said, “Irrespective of the time spent and the number of films the first film is always the first.”
Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty is a fiction. Like Deepika Padukone in Piku (2015), Anushka here is rooted emotionally. She is strong and independent by nature.
When I wrote the character of the male lead, I found it tough to cast an actor alongside Anushka. As an actor, Naveen is amazing and a delight to work with.
Stand-up comedy is all about surprises and you need to surprise the audience through your act. Naveen worked in AIB (All India Bakchod comedy group) and is a writer himself.
