The Malayalam film ‘Premalu,’ released on February 9 this year, became a blockbuster hit. The movie was well-received by both the audience and critics. The storyline of ‘Premalu,’ with its blend of comedy and romance and the way it was shot, was appreciated by viewers. Pan-India director SS Rajamouli’s son, SS Karthikeya, presented this film to the Telugu audience. The Telugu version of this movie, which released on Friday (March 8), is receiving a very good response. Celebrating the success makers arranged a press meet.
Dil Raju stated, “Happy Maha Shivratri to the audience. The Malayalam movie ‘Premalu,’ released on February 9, became a sensational hit. Though it is a Malayalam film, it was shot in Hyderabad itself. Our locations were used for shooting. Ninety percent of the story was filmed in Hyderabad. Rajamouli’s son, S.S. Karthikeya, wanted to present this film, released there, to the Telugu audience. I agreed to release it in Nizam if he discussed it with me. We showed premiere shows on Thursday and did screen ads. We conducted a total of ten shows. The response in theaters has been excellent. Seeing this response, it seems that the movie is going to be a big hit in Malayalam and will also be a big hit in Telugu. It’s a full entertainer. I want the audience to watch this movie in theaters. Aditya has brilliantly written the dialogues in Telugu. I urge everyone to see the movie in theaters.”
SS Karthikeya mentioned, “When I learned that ‘Premalu’ became a blockbuster in Malayalam, I contacted the producers there. I expressed my desire to release it in Telugu. The main story of the movie is set in Hyderabad. The entire movie is entertaining. It’s a film that the whole family can watch together. When I approached the Malayalam producers, they provided me the opportunity to release it here. I am thankful to them for that. Aditya wrote and dubbed the dialogues of this movie in 7-8 days. Their support was incredible. Special thanks to them.”
Aditya added, “Watching ‘Premalu’ feels like watching ourselves. Every character is relatable to everyone. That’s why I wanted to write such dialogues. I am happy to have worked with this team. It was a great experience. Watch the movie with your gang; it will be like a roller-coaster ride.”
