Skanda marks Ram Pothineni’s first film with director Boypati Srinu, as well as his first pan-Indian release. He conducted a couple of interviews with YouTubers to promote the film. Here are some of the interesting points he mentioned! “Skanda is a typical Telugu film, not a multi-lingual pan-Indian production. We shot it in Telugu only. However, this one is designed for a theatrical experience. So, Hindi audiences who have previously enjoyed my films on their mobile phones and television sets should watch it in Hindi because it provides the best experience in the theaters.”
Ram remembers something distinct how director Atlee and his wife Priya are his friends. So Atlee introduced him to Shah Rukh Khan. SRK valued Ram Pothineni and treated him with respect and love. He inquired about his film and asked that Ram send the trailer. “He has such a kind heart,” says Ram.
In fact, “I have done a lot of action films in my career, but working with Boyapati is a completely different experience. He envisions grandiose action sequences and ensures that they are realized without compromise. We spent 24 days filming Skanda’s’ climax sequence. You can imagine how much time and effort we put in.”
The Devadasu fame’s grandfather served in the military. His mother was raised in Kashmir and Assam. As a result, Hindi is also spoken at home. Since his childhood, he has been listening to Hindi songs at home. His favorite song as a child was Tujhe Dekha To Ye Jana Sanam from Dil Wale Dulhania Le Jayenge. So he’s looking beyond diaspora!
