After making a mark with Dorasani (2019), Middle Class Melodies (2020), and Pushpaka Vimanam (2021), Anand Deverakonda hopes to win the hearts of audiences with Baby now.
The film, directed by Sai Razesh, is releasing on 14 July and the actor appears confident of its theatrical run. “My father saw the film and he is proud of my work.” he told South First.
“People do see me as the boy next door. I have these relatable films and I connect with them easily. But every movie is of a different genre. I have been an underdog in those films.”
“I never pictured myself in mass roles. Even if I do something like that, it will be an Asuran (2019) kind of film where situations demand action and don’t look forced.”
“In every shot. I prefer the director to tell me what’s good and not. I trust him. At a high level, you understand the emotional arc of the character.” He added.
“Vaishnavi Chaitanya and I had so many scenes. We discussed how to get them right. Vaishnavi is a great find for the role. She is brilliant and this is her debut as a female lead.”
On the title Baby, they checked if there was this title available and got it registered. “It has a different ring to it. We are sure to make a mark for ourselves,” he quipped.
“Though the Tamil film 96 (2018) is a love drama, it becomes intense at a point. Audiences found it relatable. That will be the case with our Baby, too” he sounded confident.
