Machor star Gopichand is very confident that his next film, Bhimaa, a cop drama releasing on March 8, is sure to impress the Telugu audience. Not because of his hit record playing a cop character, but because of the trust he has in his director, A. Harsha. He asserted that Harsha has seamlessly integrated the semi-fantasy elements and that this film will be a commercial potboiler.
Without delaying any further, we got in touch with the director, who informed us that he is a hardcore believer in screenplay patterns, and he pitched the story to Gopichand in a reverse screenplay pattern, which impressed the star.
He began saying, “Gopi sir has a wonderful physique and is a wonderful performer. He has a very unique body language. I felt that with Bhimaa, I could bring out something new from the actor that the audience would enjoy. I wrote the character in such a way that the audience will miss Bhimaa once they are out of the theatres. I feel I have done my best.”
He says the audience will get to see rage, emotion, love, and the fantasy element in Bhimaa’s character.
Coming from the Kannada industry, the director feels there are barriers when it comes to entertainment, and he wants to entertain the audience with engaging content. His pattern of making cinema, according to him, was: “When I watch a film in theatres, more than the film, I want the audience. I’ve noticed that even with a small lag in the movie, the audience is getting deviated and is starting to use their phones in the middle of the film. I don’t want the audience to use their phones while watching my film. Entertainment, elevation, and emotion are a proper commercial pattern with a little social message, and I follow it.”
He continued, “As I mentioned, the screenplay is very important. You can feel the intensified screenplay in Bhimaa.”
Moreover, this film has the director’s close and long-associated friends as DoP and music director, who can read his thoughts, which, the director says, makes it easier to have such people in the team. “Ravi Basrur is a lovely human being. If he likes the story, he gives it all to the film. Soon we are launching the Rage of Bhimaa, and one can feel Ravi’s music in it,” he shared.
Also, people comparing Bhimaa with Akhanda are all over the media, and the director clarified that Bhimaa is not even close to Akhanda. “They are two different movies. Maybe because of the Aghora concept that people are comparing.” Furthermore, the director shared that Priya Bhavani Shankar plays a tomboyish role, and her character was his favourite.
