Hithudu is not preachy: Director
Jagapathi Babu-starrer ‘Hithudu’, languishing in the labs for a year, will open in screens today, finally.
Jagapathi Babu-starrer ‘Hithudu’, languishing in the labs for a year, will open in screens today, finally. Directed by K Viplove, the film, shot in Araku and Hyderabad over 55 days, is a sequence of events between a mentor (played by Jagapathi) and his student (Meera Nandan).
Shedding light on it, “Jagapathi believes in changing the world and finds Meera, who, he feels, has the talent to bring about a change in the society. He begins mentoring her, thinking that she would be better than him in the near course. In the process she falls for him,” reveals Viplove, adding, “As the film progresses it will be more of the ideological differences that surface between the two.”
Insisting that it will be not a preachy affair, he says he is addressing consumerism in the film. “I made a film that I believed in and if it won’t be embraced by people—despite being good—I will assume something was amiss with it. If it’s not good, I’m ready to take the blame on myself,” states the confidence-personified Viplove who studied direction from LV Prasad Film Institute.
Up next, he is gearing up to shoot ‘Sobhan Babu’ with Rahul Ravindran. “Currently we are recording songs. We will go to sets in a week. It will be shot in Hyderabad and Visakhapatnam,” he shares.
