Following the stupendous response from audiences for the latest box office release Bro, makers organised a success meet here in the city on Monday. The director of Bro, Samuthirakani garu said, “We are standing before you all after coming up with a good cinema. We have spoken enough all through the promotional campaign, now it’s time for the audience to speak. I want to hear more from fans and audiences after watching Bro.”
Produced by People Media Factory in collaboration with ZEE Studios, Bro is written and directed by Samuthirakani. Trivikram penned the screenplay and dialogues for the film, which was released in cinemas last week on July 28.
Speaking during the event, Sai Dharam Tej said, “I would like to say a small thing about time. Raja Chembolu and I were batchmates when we first started our journey of learning about acting at an institute. Now is the time to unite us. We both shared screen space here in the film Bro. Samuthirakani’s greatness can’t be described in one word. Starting his career as a small screen director, he reached the stage to handle a star like Pawan Kalyan. And talking about the music by Thaman, I didn’t like the comments coming from audiences initially. But the rerecording was amazing. And the single that came at the end was very good. I am happy to find a friend like him.”
Producer of Baby, SKN, who attended the event as the Chief Guest said,”I can recall my days as a diehard fan of Pawan Kalyan Garu sitting in the gallery and waiting with bated breath to catch his glimpse,” shared Baby producer SKN, who had attended the event as a chief guest. “But attending the success of Kalyan garu’s film is an honour that I got. Thanks, everyone for inviting me. After watching Bro, for the first time, we happened to see each other’s faces while having dinner that night. We usually keep scrolling through the phone while having a meal. But that night was different. That was the impact of Bro. A few films are entertaining and a few are message-oriented. But Bro has both entertainment and a message. I made us realise the value of time.”
Meanwhile filmmaker Chandu Mondeti, who was also present at the event said, “I think Samuthirakani garu is a more fantastic writer and director than an actor. I request you to direct a movie like Bro at least once in every 2 years. I used to watch every movie that you have directed so far in Tamil.
But I didn’t watch Vinodhaya Sitham, I thought since Pawan Kalyan garu along with Sai Dharam Tej is being featured in the film, what’s the need to watch the original? So I waited to watch Bro on the big screen. I was very moved by the story. Basically, I am not someone who would react emotionally to good or bad. I felt so emotional while watching Bro.”
Several prominent filmmakers including Bobby, Gopichand Malineni, Sriwass, producer TG Vishwa Prasad, and music composer S Thaman, among the rest had also graced the event.
