Chitchat with Kalyan Ram Nandamuri

Kalyan Ram Nandamuri is the most simple hero among typical Telugu film heroes. He is completely grounded and unassuming. He doesn't believe in hype and he wants his films to talk about him. After doing two critically acclaimed films like Athanokkade and Hare Ram, Kalyan Ram is producing and acting in a comedy entertainer called Jayeebhava. Jayeebhava is all set to release on 23 October. Idlebrain.com caught up with this nice human being for an exclusive interview. Here are the excerpts -

Why do you keep low profile?

I always feel that audiences should talk about the movie instead of filmmakers. I am away from hyping my projects. If they have stuff in it, then movies will automatically run.

Tell us about Jayeebhava director Naren?
Naren Kondepati worked with Teja and Krishna Vamsi in the past. I knew Naren from the days of Lakshmi Kalyanam. He worked for Vijaya Dasami and Hare Ram in the direction department. In fact he choreographed a song of Hare Ram that comes in the second half. He has clarity of mind and he knows what he wants and how to extract it.

Which genre does Jayeebhava belong to?
Jayeebhav means blessing. Jayeebhava is a family entertainer told in a commercial format. Love plays a small role in the movie, but this movie is all about family relationships. Heroine didn't have equal importance in none of my earlier films. But the heroine in Jayeebhava has equal importance with that of hero. There will be lot of comedy with the casting of top notch comedians like Brahmanandam and Ali. The hero in this movie has a mission to do something good to his family.
