To overlook Pelli Choopulu’s craft because of its lightness would be a mistake. This film deserved far more attention for the way it has been shot, directed and edited, and its unostentatious details, writes FC Reader Sagar Tetali.
In conversation with Alekhya Devarakonda, actor Priyadarshi Pulikonda speaks about his upcoming film Mail directed by Uday Gurrala, his approach towards finding the right scripts and the nostalgia around computers
The actor talks about how writing is his weapon, his approach to a thriller, upcoming bilingual Major, the nepotism debate and why he’s partial to the big screen.
The Pelli Choopulu director looks back at his experiences and tells other younger directors following in his footsteps what they can learn from his journey
Pelli Choopulu isn’t really a film that needs a remake. It’s urban, it’s young, it’s relatable and there’s little a new version can add to take the film to a new audience that you couldn’t already reach with a good subtitled version. Or so one thought.
