Santosh Soban ‘s latest film ‘Prem Kumar’ co-starring Raasi Singh and Ruchitha Sadineni is getting ready to release on August 18. Shiva Prasad Panneeru bankrolled the film under Sharanga Entertainments Pvt Ltd banner. Writer Abhishek Maharshi is making his directorial debut with this film. ‘Prem Kumar’ is being made with love and entertaining elements. On this occasion, Producer Shiva Prasad Panneeru interacted with media. Here’s the interview. 

How is the journey as a Producer?

I entered into film industry from a different background. Ours is a middle class family. I started business and has been doing it for the last 10 years. Business field and Movie Industry have so much difference. There are a lot of differences in creative thoughts and business in the film industry. I understood one must balance all these aspects to move forward in this industry. This journey as a Producer gave me immense happiness. 

Why did you chose ‘Prem Kumar’ story for your first film?

Prem Kumar is my first film as a producer. I wanted to make a good entertaining film in a limited budget. That’s why we heard to a lot of stories. Satosh too hasn’t done an out and out comedy film in his career. Due to these reasons we finalised this story. All characters have scope to perform. Marriage is only a part of the script. Santosh Soban and Abhishek are very close friends to me. Though I started this film for them, I see very good content in the film. That’s why we increased budget further as per the story of the film. 

What are the obstacles you faced as a first time producer while making this film?

Basically I am a very soft person. I don’t yell whenever problems arise. I belive in talking and resolving issues. If we understand the problem, it solution will be clear. Coming to this film, we didn’t had any issues among ourselves. In the process of a creative journey, differences arise naturally. We understand them as we were friends and moved forward.

What is the triggering point in the story of ‘Prem Kumar’?

I liked the story a lot. We listened to 30-35 stories. We fixed about Hero and Director right from the beginning. Then we worked out on the story. After many reviews, we locked ‘Prem Kumar’ story. Usually in our films, during marriage time Hero and Heroine gets eloped or gets United after a fight. It has been in the point of view of Hero and Heroine. But, no one thought about what happens to that bridegroom who was supposed to marry the Heroine. There are two, three film which touched that point but not many. I find that point interesting. When his marriage was cancelled last minute, what kind of emotional turmoil he undergoes, what are the problems his family faces? We dealt such points in an entertaining fashion.

Why did you chose Santosh sh Soban as your Hero?

Santosh Soban is a brilliant actor. He will become a big hero in th coming days. Every actor has a different body languages. This ‘Prem Kumar’ movie perfectly suits his body language. Everyone will say after watching the film that this is his career best performance. So far his films run around him. But, Prem Kumar is based on his character in the film. I believe ‘Prem Kumar’ will become one of the best movies in Santosh’s career. I watched the film along with my family members and friends. Everyone loved and enjoyed it.

About Heroines

Heroines Raasi Singh, Ruchitha Sadineni performed very well. Director Abhishek has selected them. Phrabhavathi garu, Ashok garu… every character came out naturally.

Greetings to the people of the Telugu states on the joyous occasion of the 77th Independence Day.

To commemorate this patriotic festival, I have organized a special tree planting event on the grounds of Mohan Babu University in Tirupati. This event holds great significance as it pays tribute to the revered Modugulapalem village, situated by the Swarnamukhi River in the Tirupati district.

About a hundred families from my small village Modugulapalem will be joining me on the campus. They will bring with them soil from their own fields, along with water and natural elements from the Swarnamukhi River. These precious components will be utilized in the planting of a hundred saplings, enriching the university environment.

As the son of Late Shri. Narayanaswamy Naidu, an esteemed elementary school headmaster, I hold close the cherished memories of my upbringing in Modugulapalem. Over the past five decades, the people of the Telugu states have bestowed upon me their blessings, propelling me forward as a respected artist, producer, parliamentarian, and educator.

Despite the demands of my busy professional life, my heart remains deeply connected to my hometown and its people. Their well-wishes and the serene beauty of the land continue to resonate within me.

The act of planting these trees with soil and water from Modugulapalem will forever remain etched in my memory and in the history of Mohan Babu University. These young saplings will grow into towering symbols of my unwavering love and devotion to my homeland.

The Independence Day festivities at Mohan Babu University will be attended by thousands of students, parents, faculty, and supporters, fostering a sense of unity and patriotism

The movie is going to be released in Nizam by leading distribution company Mythri Movie Distribution. The film is directed by Srinivas Vinjanampati under the banner of Mic Movies. Recently Ulta Palta song from this movie was released by media representatives. In this program,

Director Srinivas Vinjanampati said – I took inspiration from my real life incidents to create this concept. I watched my wife closely when she was pregnant. Whatever we do we can help the wife but we cannot take that pain. When my baby was born, the doctors gave her to me. I can’t express that feeling in words. This story is written from the idea of what it would be like if men took on the responsibility of pregnancy and the pain of mother. This is a sensitive subject. Even if the balance is wrong, it is said that they have made a silly and crazy comedy. That’s why we designed it very carefully. Sohail and Roopa competed in acting delivered solid performances. As much as Sohel, Roopa will also gets a good name. Along with hilarious entertainment, this movie also has emotions. Any family members or lovers can watch it together.

Hero Sohel said – I felt Director Srinivas is very innovative after listening to the story. He said, “Will you listen to another story for a while?” I was determined to do the story of Mr. Pregnant. Because today the audience likes to watch different content on OTTs. I believe that our film will also give them such a feeling. We did workshops for 15 days for this film. We used prosthetics that weighed as much as real pregnancy. Comedy dialogues on pregnancy will not be there in our film. You will Hug your sisters and mother after watching the movie. Two of our sisters were pregnant at the time this film was accepted. I learned the body language of pregnant women by watching them. I will do different movies like this from now on.

Heroine Roopa Kodavayur said – There is as much emotion as there is fun in the movie Mr. Pregnant. This is a beautiful movie. I am happy to act in this film. When I heard the story of this movie, I thought if they can carry the movie properly, but while shooting, seeing the clarity and dedication of director Srinivas, Sohail became confident that this will be a good movie. I am a doctor and I make films while continuing that profession.

Producer Appireddy said – Within a few days of the release of the trailer, the business of all areas was complete. Starting as a small film, Mr. Pregnant got solid response in the trade. We made this movie with a special concept. Big distributors have seen our film. Appreciated for making a good movie. I hope you will watch this movie with your sister and mother. Credit goes to our company for making such a different movie in Telugu. When director Srinivas told this story, it felt new. I sat the women from our family and friends’ families and narrated this story to the director. All of them were very good and suggested to do this movie. That’s how we started the movie. We are very happy that a big company like Mythri has come forward to distribute our film. Thank you Mythri for supporting us. Mythri Movie Distribution said that this movie will be a big hit if the ladies support it.

Producer Venkat Annapareddy said – This is another different movie coming in our company. Annayya Appireddy will take care of all the story selection. Even though I am in the US, I talk about the movie through phone calls and video calls. The movie came out very well. Family audience will like it. We are releasing it in around 100 screens in the US.

Producer Ravindar Reddy Sajjala said – The film has good emotional content and there is also entertainment. So he liked it. We made this film with faith in Appireddy’s judgement.
