In the bustling world of Tollywood, where innovation is revered, director VS Mukkhesh brings forth a refreshing narrative in his upcoming film, Market Mahalakshmi. Set to hit theaters on April 19, this film promises to captivate audiences with its intriguing storyline and heartfelt performances.
In an interaction with the media on Tuesday, the director shed light on the journey of bringing Market Mahalakshmi to life. Reflecting on his transition from short films to feature films, Mukkhesh shared, “I’ve made a lot of short films on the TeluguOne YouTube channel, close to 100+ videos, and there are videos on other channels too. I met Akhilesh and narrated the Market Mahalakshmi script, which then began my feature film journey.”
Discussing the film’s unique premise, Mukkhesh emphasised, “Many people claim their films touch on new points. Honestly, we did touch on a new point that has not been explored until now, and that’s going to be a major conflict. I don’t want to exploit this sensitive topic for promotions. We couldn’t reveal it in the teaser or trailer, as it would spoil the experience.”
Starring Parvateesam and Praneekaanvika in lead roles, Market Mahalakshmi delves into the intricacies of love and family dynamics. Mukkhesh shared insights into the casting process, stating, “I chose Parvateesam and an unknown actress because they fit the characters perfectly. As a debut director, it was challenging to attract established stars. This project was about proving my directorial capabilities.” With meticulous attention to detail, Mukkhesh ensured that the film’s authenticity resonated with audiences. “The film will be close to reality because I know a man who loved a vegetable seller girl and married her. The film is based on a real-life love story. I’ve also observed a few people in the markets,” he revealed.
From innovative promotions to a crisp runtime, Mukkhesh highlighted the efforts put into every aspect of Market Mahalakshmi. Expressing confidence in the film’s success, he remarked, “With confidence, I can say that even if only one person watched my film in theaters, they’ll surely like it.”
