“Maa Oori Polimera enjoys a cult following. In the prequel, we could show only what we had with limited resources. It was wrapped in 20 days,” he recalled.

When asked about his nude scenes in the film, he quipped: “If the script demands it, one has to submit to the character. That’s how an actor stimulates audiences through his character.”

He noted that filmmaker Anil tried to bring originality to every frame. “We shot in the forest. It did frighten me—the witchcraft scenes, especially in the graveyard at night.”

He signed off saying, “I couldn’t take any real-life references as nobody I know has practised black magic. There are many tear-jerking scenes. It will certainly impress audiences.”
