Telugu director heads to Bollywoodtown

After leading Telugu directors Prabhu Deva, Krish, now it’s turn of another Telugu director Y Jithender to make his B-town debut with ‘Jhatka Zaroori Hai’ with actress Leena Kapoor in the lead along with a new bunch of debutants.

“I always believed in good content over stars, so making my debut in Hindi with all-new team, to make a mark,” says director Yadagiri Jithender who claims that the film is in post production stage.“It will be a game-changer of sorts and bound to leave B-town viewers dumbfounded,’ he adds.

Actually, the director has done Telugu films like ‘Chakri’ and ‘Veduka’ before moving to Mumbai to churn out ad commercials. “It is nothing but expanding my brand equity and also earn some money. I have done commercials for various products as well as for BJP’s political campaign,’ he adds. With Hindi film almost complete, he happened to meet a Bhojpuri filmmaker and all set to direct ‘Nirauha Chalal America’ with Bhojpuri stars Dinesh Lal Yadav and Amrapali, in the lead.

“Dinesh and Amrapali are superstars of Bhojpuri and it will be a lavish and engaging entertainer. Actually, I don’t think language should be a barrier for a filmmaker, so I am giving it a shot,’ he points out. After shooting his Hindi film mostly in India, the director is heading to USA for his next.

“It will be shot in picturesque locales in USA since the story unfolds in America as the title suggests. Also to deliver a visual treat to the viewers. I’ll surely leave a mark in Bhojpuri too,” he adds. On returning to T-town, he says “I have a couple of Telugu offers, but I haven’ taken a call yet.”
