Mega Prince Varun Tej’s latest sensation, Korean Kanakaraju, entered the profit zone in its first weekend itself, while the movie is continuing its strong run during the weekdays as well. The team held a success event, with Megastar Chiranjeevi in attendance. Nagababu, Krish, and other key members of the team were also present at the event.
Chiranjeevi agreed that the film’s casting and performances played a crucial role in its success, but he believes the foundation was the unusual idea itself. “We have seen many films in the horror-comedy genre, but bringing in a Korean backdrop was a wonderful thought. I came to know that this film was made on a moderate budget. Everyone should follow this approach. Even VFX can be executed well in a cost-effective manner. Gandhi’s courage and conviction are visible in this film. This should be taken as an example for filmmaking.”
Chiranjeevi said Varun Tej’s willingness to experiment has become one of his defining qualities. “Unlike others, Varun Tej keeps trying different kinds of films. He has done a variety of films and has never failed as an actor. Some films may have failed, but he continues to work towards establishing himself as a versatile actor. If Gandhi is the engineer of this film, Varun Tej is the iron pillar, and Satya is the concrete.”
For Varun, the film’s success is especially meaningful because of the long wait behind it.
“It has been seven years since I had a film that felt right for me. Chiranjeevi always tells me that it doesn’t matter how many times we fall; we have to keep working hard. We were brought up with discipline and hard work from childhood.
Gandhi presented me in a completely new light. Ritika is a great co-star. I truly enjoyed working with my friend Satya.”
He eventually spoke about his family and the legacy he hopes to uphold. “I should never damage the name my Peddananna earned. My mother and father should always be proud. I want to see happiness in the eyes of my Babai and Annayya.”
Varun Tej also extended his advance birthday wishes to Chiranjeevi.
