Writer Tirumalnag’s latest venture as a dialogue writer, Maya Petika (Magic Box), recently hit the marquee on 30 June. It raised curiosity among the audience due to the promotions.
Featuring Payal Rajput, Viraj Ashwin, Simrat Kaur, Sunil, and Srinivas Reddy in key roles the story revolves around a smartphone that changes hands and the experiences of the people who use it.
The writer revealed that his passion for skits and dramas led him to pursue a career in the field of cinema. He has been working consistently in the Telugu film industry only since 2014-2015.
“I hail from Bhimavaram of West Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh. I did many stage plays and participated in cultural activities during my school days.”
“I always wanted to narrate things in a different way and this motivated me to write drama. Having written for others made me think why shouldn’t I write and present my own stories.”
So, he started coordinating the cast and directing the plays. “Every time I was part of the cultural events, my college would win a prize,” he guffawed.
