Avasarala Srinivas: I Did not Direct Climax!

When actor turned director Srinivas Avasarala geared up for the release of Jyo Achyutananda, he was braving the much dreaded 'second film jinx' sentiment. However, Avasarala came out flying colours as the film is running well and even earned him a good name.

To celebrate his second film's success and promote the film, Srinivas Avasarala, along with the film's heroes Nara Rohit and Naga Shourya, interacted with a popular news channel last night and revealed an interesting secret about the film.

Avasarala said that he did not direct the climax scenes which had Nani in a special appearance. It was in fact Srinivas Avasarala's 'guru' and his first film Ashta Chamma's director Indraganti Mohanakrishna who directed the climax scene.

Srinivas said that Mohanakrishna paid a surprise visit to the sets on the day of the shooting of this scene and that he then donned the director's hat and called the shots.

Srinivas also revealed that he appeared alongside Nani in that scene to relive the Ashta Chamma days, but he had removed his shots during the editing. 

Murugadoss To Use Jyo Achyutananda For Mahesh Film?

Mahesh-Murugadoss project is currently being filmed in Chennai. After this schedule gets wrapped, the team will be returning to Hyderabad and start the next schedule in October. News is that Murugadoss will be using NTR and Srinivas Avasarala for this project.

As the script demands a 90's model house, Murugadoss decided to shoot some scenes in the set erected for Avasarala's 'Jyo Achyutananda'. The makers will be making small changes in the set and complete their shoot. And also as we reported earlier, the makers have planned to use the famous 'Janatha Garage' set picturizing some crucial scenes and a song for this racy thriller.

With these moves, Murugadoss is looking to complete this film as quick as possible and avoid over budget. While Rakul plays the female lead in this film, Nayanathara will reportedly appear in a cameo.

Avasarala Is gearing to Direct His Best Friend?

Both Nani and Srinivas Avasarala had started their journey together with Ashta Chamma and eight years down the line, both of them have proved themselves in the industry. They also share a very good friendship and the latest buzz reveals that they both are all set to work together again.

After scoring back to back hits with Oohalu Gusagusalade and Jyo Achyutananda, Srinivas Avasarala is planning to make his third film with Nani. Currently, the actor-turned director is busy working on Hunterrr’s remake in which he is playing the lead role. After its completion, he will focus on his third directorial project.

This movie is expected to go on floors during the first half of next year. Already, Nani was seen in a cameo in the recently released Jyo Achyutananda.

Jyo Achyutanand Changing it's Gear?

It's a heavenly time for small and medium budget movies this year. Several content-driven low budget movies are ending up as surprise hits at the box-office both in the Telugu states and in overseas.

Actor turned director Srinivas Avasarala's romantic family entertainer Jyo Achyutananda is the latest film to join this club. Released on Friday last week, this film got favorable reviews from critics and moviegoers too gave it a thumbs up.

While Jyo Achyutananda's collections in the Telugu states are decent in multiplexes and A centres, the film has already become the highest grossing movie in overseas in the careers of both its heroes Nara Rohit and Naga Shaurya.

Until its Sunday run, Jyo Achyutananda has grossed $311K in the US, which is a good total for a medium budget movie. However, Jyo Achyutananda has to pick up its speed considerably this week and even next week to break even as the US distributors have shelled out nearly $750K to acquire the rights. 

Will It Be a Relief For Nara Rohit?

Success had been eluding Nara Rohit as long as anyone can remember. Though Rohit has been doing his part (acting, dubbing) well, many of his previous films have tanked without a trace. Call it a self-mistake or blame his directors, producers, few films of Rohit failed due to his poor choice of subjects, whereas others have failed due to its directors, producers who failed to plan the film well. After long wait, finally Nara Rohit seems to have overcome the jinx of failure that lasted over years. 

At last, failures that kept haunting Rohit were put to rest with the latest release Jyo Achyutananda opening to positive reviews all over. Thanks to director Avasarala Srinivas for making this happen. The film's witty one-liners and Nara Rohit-Naga Shourya's camaraderie have been getting applause giving a big relief for Rohit.
 
Needless to say that Rohit is indebted to Avasarala Srinivas. Also, the movie in turn has given much-needed relief to producer Sai Korrapati whose last film Manamantha was critically acclaimed but that failed to translate into commercial success. 

Initial reports have it that the film's openings are good including in overseas. Given that the film got rave reviews, it needs to be seen how the film going to fare at the ticket windows. If all goes well, Rohit will heave a huge sigh of relief. 

Why Did Sukumar Cried?

Tollywood director Sukumar is one of the noted names in film industry, who is known for penning interesting screenplays. Sukumar has the other day revealed that he inadvertently cried while just reading the climax of Srinivas Avasarala's new directorial venture 'Jyo Achyutananda'.

Sukumar revealed that he was highly impressed with Avasarala's debut film 'Oohalu Gusagusalade'. 'When I happened to know that he was making a film titled 'Jyo Achyutananda' as his second project, I requested him to let me read the script. The characters and the scenes were so funny and emotional that I couldn't control my emotions by the time I had reached the climax. This is one of those rare films that made me cry,' confessed the intelligent director.

It is nothing less than a huge achievement for Srinivas Avasarala as a creative genius like Sukumar doesn't praise any film so easily. Sukumar added that 'Jyo' is a love story cum thriller.

Rohith: I don't say it's a triangular love story

Young hero Nara Rohit has been experimenting with different genres and subjects from his very first film Banam. Solo provided first commercial break for the young hero who then won critics appreciations for thought provoking film Prathinidhi and an action drama film Asura. Rohit's last movie Raja Cheyyi Veste was a flop. The actor keeps high hopes on his upcoming venture Jyo Achyutananda coming from the same production house of Vaarahi Chalana Chitram and is directed by Srinivas Avasarala whose maiden directorial Oohalu Gusagusa Lade was a big hit. Here's what Rohit says about the film:

When did actually Jyo Achyutananda start?
Avasarala narrated me the film's story almost a year ago. But, we started Raja Cheyyi Veste first. Then, we began Jyo Achyutananda shooting from March.
Was Naga Shourya The Original Choice For the Other Lead?
Story was narrated to me when basic structure was formed and I was confirmed for Achyut character. We were thinking over who can rightly pull off the role of Anand. Avasarala finalized Shourya, after completing the script work.

How Was It Working With Naga Shourya?
I didn't work with him earlier. I was worried, whether we will be comfortable with each other or not. But, we had a good bonding when we had script reading session together. We thoroughly enjoyed those days. Then, test shooting started. You will know how much we enjoyed, if you watch any of working videos. We had good bonding and we still maintain the same.

Was Regina Yours Or Director's Choice?
We had lots of options. Avasarala was thinking whether to rope in a new girl. But the thing is the role of Jyo is dominant enough. So, he thought an actress who previously worked for few films and had already played such dominant role earlier would apt for the role. Then, we thought of Regina and she came on board.
What attracted you to sign the film?
The line itself. We have very few films in this generation, two brothers flirt same girl. The script itself has the brotherly bond. That's what excited me to do the film.
Rajamouli at audio launch said the film has thriller flavor, is that anything like that?
It is not a thriller. But, screenplay is bit thrilling. I don't say it's a triangular love story, but it's a love story. The film is more of relationship between two brothers.

How this film is different from your previous films?
I strongly proclaim that, I don't think this kind of story hasn't come at all in Telugu cinema. Many have asked me like whether this film has Dostana shades, are you invincible in the film etc. There were no references for the film, even for a single scene. In fact, they were giving us new ideas to pen new stories based on these questions.
What's your character in the film?
It has two phases. One is five years back in college days and the other is present. I work as a HR in a software firm.

When do you meet Regina, in past or present life?
(smiles) I don't want to reveal much. But, what I can only say is in both.
Do you have plans of sporting six packs?
I started reducing for Raja Cheyyiveste. It started reflecting in the film. I have already lost around 11 kgs and my target is to reduce 8 more kgs in a couple of months. Don't know, but try to work out for six packs for future ventures.
You and Shourya have similarities look wise, what's the reason?
It was Shourya's call. During look test, I had moustache and Shourya had beard. Usually, brothers try to be similar, as per Shourya. He then convinced Avasarala gaaru.
Who is villain in the film?
Everyone in the film has villain shades, including me, Shourya and Regina.
Usually climax is crucial for films of these kind, how Avasarala handled it in JA?
In fact, climax is best part of the film. You will definitely love it and come out of theaters with smile on your faces.
Do you involve in your scripts?
I don't actually involve, but I through my ideas whether they are right or wrong. I tell my directors to pick, if they feel any my idea is useful.
Right now, Nara Rohit is in USA to attend an event and also to spend time with his friends over there. He said to watch the film's premiere in the US. 

Avasarala Srinivas got 'Jyo Achyutananda's storyline just 10 minutes

Even before the release of trailer, there was a lot of hype surrounding 'Jyo Achyutananda'. This is majorly because of its film director Avasarala Srinivas. His first film 'Oohalu Gusagusalade' was so magical and that it remained in the hearts of every youngster. Now, Avasarala shared an interesting fact about 'Jyo Achyutananda'.

He said that this film took birth on a hospital table. During the shoot of 'Kanche' in Georgia, Avasarala broke his hands and was hospitalized. He got 'Jyo Achyutananda's storyline just 10 minutes before getting operated. After that, he developed the line into a full-fledged story and made this film.

He said that this film would be a light hearted entertainer and what attracts the viewers is the 'bromance' between Nara Rohit and Naga Shourya. Hope this film becomes a super hit and Avasarala passes out this second film phobia with flying colors.
