Pan-India superstar Upendra opens up on film Kabzaa, ‘My film isn’t KGF in any aspect’
Reportedly, team of Kabzaa were in Mumbai for the promotion of their film.
On March 9, after taking to the City roads in their two-wheelers, the film’s lead stars Upendra and Shriya Saran along with Kichcha Sudeepa (who has a special appearance in the film) and producer Anand Pandit interacted with the media.
Kichcha Sudeepa is very often seen in Mumbai while promoting his pan-India films. He plays an interesting role in Kabzaa that is set in
Pre-Independence era in the year of 1945. The elated actor shares, the very reason he became an actor was Upendra.
He feels that you can become stars for several reasons. But since he always wanted to be an assistant director, he found him good looking and Upendra suggested that he be an actor and not waste his time in direction. Kichcha took him seriously and did a photoshoot and Upendra was the first person to whom he showed it. He is not standing here since he is a part of Kabzaa but it is also because of Upendra.
Kichcha adds he had an opportunity to work with Upendra in a film and Kabzaa is his second association with him. Both the films have his cameo. Upendra is the one, known for giving blockbusters. Besides the scale, it is always the pleasure to work with Upendra. He did Makkhi, Dabangg 3 and Vikrant Rona in the past and now here he is with Kabzaa.
Superstar Upendra is also a writer-director and he has been a reason for many to start their careers. At the trailer launch, he tells, he is very excited for his first pan-India film. Kichcha is a talented artist and a wonderful human being. Kabzaa feels like his first movie as he is promoting it and it’s nearing release. In fact, every week, he feels Friday jitters. Kazba is very high on technicality, although it has multiple superstars headlining the film, the real stars of our movie are the DOP, music composer and action director. People are going to enjoy this visual spectacle. My film isn’t KGF in any aspect.
Shriya Saran, after her recent smash hit film ‘Drishyam 2’ plays the role of a princess. An emotional Shriya reveals, when she met Upendra for the first time, she was literally blown away. He is such a big star yet very humble. He has been there, done it all but had no arrogance or attitude about it. The film is shot in a larger than life format but it has soul to it. Shriya always believe that the film she is going to do will be a big hit.
Shriya further continues, the first thing which she shot about the film was the song Namaami and she feels scared of action sequences. No wonder, director R Chandru had put her in the background while doing action sequences.
Producer Anand Pandit, who backs multilingual projects, is now gearing up for the 17 March theatrical release. With the solo window, Anand believes in good content and nothing more. He assumes that if content is good then nothing can really put us down.
