Hero Tejus Kancherla Interview
‘Uruku Patela’ will be a great film for the whole family to enjoy together: Hero Tejus Kancherla
Young and talented actor Tejus Kancherla, who impressed audiences with his diverse role in “Hushaaru,” is back with his latest film, “Uruku Patela.” With the tagline “Get Urikified,” the movie is directed by Vivek Reddy under the Lead Edge Pictures banner and produced by Kancherla Bala Bhanu. The music is composed by Praveen Lakkaraju, and cinematography is handled by Sunny Kurrapati. The teaser and trailer have heightened expectations for the film, which will be released on September 7 as a Vinayaka Chavithi special. Here’s what Tejus Kancherla shared with the media:
– “After ‘Hushaaru,’ I heard many stories and wanted something fresh. When Vivek presented this story, I was excited. We developed the script together, and now the movie is complete.”
– “The script was ready, and we pitched it to many producers. While they all liked the story, no one was willing to invest the necessary budget. Eventually, my father heard the story, liked it, and decided to produce the film.”
– “The film is set in a Telangana backdrop with an accent that is easily understandable to everyone. Since I was born and raised in Hyderabad, the accent wasn’t an issue for me.”
– “The teaser and trailer provide a glimpse into the film’s plot and tone. We aimed to give audiences a hint about what to expect, which is why we released these promotional materials.”
– “Although the trailer might suggest that the movie revolves around the heroine, the actual film offers a different experience. The title ‘Uruku Patela’ and the film’s content are designed to justify the name and keep you laughing throughout.”
– “The heroine is from Uttarakhand. After seeing her reel, I contacted her, and she participated in workshops and acted as directed. There were no issues during filming.”
– “If this film succeeds and proves profitable, I might consider producing future projects. However, I won’t be handling both production and acting simultaneously, as it’s quite challenging.”
– “‘Uruku Patela’ is a film that the whole family can enjoy together. It’s filled with humor. Inspired by various superstitions I read about during the lockdown, we crafted this story as a blend of thriller and comedy for complete entertainment.”
– “I have a desire to direct in the future. I’m open to contributing to stories that come my way and love writing. If I find a role that excites me and seems fun, I’m open to doing special roles.”
