It was very easy for him to make a debut into Telugu film Industry as a Hero, being a Star Kid. But, later on, it was completely his hard work and his wise ness in choosing the films that made him attain his set of audience today, even though he is barely 5 films old. His way of choosing the films and planning a career, ‘King’ Nagarjuna’s Elder Son and Movie Moughal Dr. D. Rama Naidu’s Grand Son, Naga Chaitanya talks to Andhrawishesh team about his much awaited and the most controversial film, RGV’s ‘Bejawada’ and much more, when the Hero came to attend a promotional event.

About ‘Bejawada’
Well, there are many expectations, and news surrounded about the film and its story, since Ram GopalVarma has announced the film. But, this is just a fiction work that has done based on certain real time situations, that happened in Vijayawada, couple of years ago. As of now, I am not allowed to speak anything more than this, about ‘Vijayawada’. I can confidently say one thing; I have got to play one of the powerful roles in my entire career as an Actor, in this film. As soon as I have agreed to work with Ramuji, one film that came into everyone’s mind was Ramuji’s block buster success with Dad (‘King’ Nagarjuna) ‘Shiva’. This and the story line put together are creating a very big hype among the public about ‘Bejawada’ these days. On top of this, the trailers and the songs that released recently are getting good reviews. Hope even the film would be accepted by the audience.
About the role
I have definitely experimented by doing a role in this film. the characterization, the takeoff of the role, the transformation of various emotions, all these put together has given me a plat form to perform a never before done role. I had to work hard to get into the skin of the character as it was not so easy to get the grip. But, the director of the film, Vivek Krishna and Ramuji have helped me a lot. I play one of the powerful roles that is a dream for any new comer as well as a challenge to live up to the increased expectations. Our entire team has done their best. Now it is the audience call.
About the issues in regard to the title
The title that was announced for the film, initially, ‘BejawadaRowdilu’, started becoming not acceptable by many of Vijayawada natives, as they took the title personally, and had their on notion about the story and the screenplay of the film. we tried to convince them that the film is purely a work of fiction based on some real time incidents, but they refused to listen and approached the Court. We had to obey the decision and change the title to ‘Bejawada’. Not only this, we had issues while shooting for the film in Vijayawada initially, as well. But, throughout this year, we had faced each and every problem, worked on giving the best output. I am just eager and waiting for the release of the film.
Working with Amala Paul
She is an extra ordinary actress. I have liked her performance in the film, ‘Nanna’ itself. When my director said I will be working with her, I was very excited. She is a professional performer and did her best in this flick. Particularly, there were certain song sequences that actually highlighted our chemistry. The entire film along with the song sequences was picturized too good. The film is a perfect combo of technicalities and story and screenplay.
About the career graph
Well, it is too early to talk about. ‘Bejawada’ being my 5th film, I am still working on sustaining in this industry. As you know, the image of Star Son, would work good enough unless you make a debut, later it is all about your work and worth and how people would receive you. When I have made my debut with the film ‘Josh’, many commented that I did not suit to the character and required a lot more transformation to prove to be a hero. ‘Em Maya Chesaave’ made me taste what a success actually means, ‘100% Love’ added to the success, ‘Dhada’ did not reached the expectations however. And now, ‘Bejawada’, that would be releasing in the theaters soon. All these films have taught me a lot. Today, I am able to decide what role to do and what not, to what extent should I experiment in choosing the roles, how the release and the success of the film is important to each and every technician associated with that film and also to the industry as well and lot more. Today, my main motto before accepting any role would be that role and the film should entertain the audience to the core. I have decided to go further step by step, and learn with each and every film. I aspire to transform as such an Actor, where people should recognize my worth.
Future projects
As of now, I have just signed a film titled ‘Auto Nagar Surya’. As the name itself suggests the film will for sure be a pakka commercial entertainer. The regular shoot of this Deva Katta directorial, who proved his worth by making a critically acclaimed film like ‘Prasthanam’, would be starting in a while. Apart from this film, there are other projects in pipeline, the details of the same would be known soon.
How would ‘Bejawada’ be
As everyone think, ‘Bejawada’ is not a story that just highlights one factor of ‘Rowdism’. This is a story that carries various forms of human emotion that makes a person to transform into a totally different personality. Every jorner of audience can relate with the film. and our entire unit is keeping our fingers crossed for the release and the result of the film. hope we succeed on the hard work we have done.
Andhrawishesh team wishes the entire unit of ‘Bejawada’ all the very best and hopes the film would entertain all the Movie buffs, including us.
