There`s no need to detail about the hype surrounding on one of the most anticipated releases of the year, which is directed by Harish Shankar and produced by Dil Raju under Shri Venkateswara Creations banner.

Duvvada Jagannadham stars Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde. The trailer to this movie got whopping millions of views in just 24 hours. The audio, directed by DSP was also a hit.

Now, it`s time for some deets on the movie which have been safely kept undercover by the team of DJ.

We sat down with the director of DJ, Harish Shankar and had a little chat with him and the conversation goes as below.

Harish Shankar Interview

How are you doing today?

Yeah, I am doing great! I`m quite excited about the movie`s release tomorrow.

No nervous feels?

No, I am just eagerly waiting for the movie to be released and I want to hear the feedback from people. I have seen the movie roughly a 100 times, so I`m not nervous.

What`s your opinion on the movie?

It`s my movie, so obviously I will like it, I just want a third person`s point of view on the movie…but yeah…I can say that the movie is different from the mainstream movies that you see out there. It is more energetic, it is more intense and it is packed with more emotion.

How is DJ different from the other movies?

It is different in the terms of direction, story, dialogs and the way it captures the soul of the audience. Many people (directors) saw the unreleased version and it all went well with them.

How big do you think DJ will be?

I have no set limits. It can be as big as the audience wants to make it or as small as the audience wants to make it. It is just a gamble. Nothing is predictable. That`s the kick in it.

There are rumors about the movie`s climax being very funny, do you claim them?

Those rumors started as soon as I tweeted about the climax. It is quite funny actually and I am sure people will like it. It is quite different from the contrary.

Do you think social media plays a role in the promotion of the movie?

Absolutely! The movie`s trailer was an instant hit and people gave a mind-boggling response to it and we were just so surprised to receive such an overwhelming response in such a less time. They (fans) truly love Arjun(Allu Arjun).

How was working with Allu Arjun and Pooja Hegde?

Both are very hard working. They both rehearsed over and over without any complaints. You`d expect stars like that to be a little more obnoxious but they were nothing like that. They were really grounded and were very nice to work with. We hall had a great time filming this movie and I think they both worked a little extra hard on this movie.

Does Allu Arjun play double roles in the movie? Or was that just two shades of the same character?

You watch the movie and tell me your input. If I tell you then the whole fun in the suspense is gone. You decide and judge the movie.

What is it that you want to say about the movie to the audience?

Definitely a movie that`s worth watching. You will have a great time. A movie, that would have an effect on you for days, weeks and maybe months too. It`s really that intense. I felt good when I got some feedback from some trusted people. They gave me some honest opinions and told me a few things and gave me a bigger perspective on the movie`s range. You will have a great time.

You heard him, a movie that`s worth watching and will capture your mind. Now, let`s see if that`s true tomorrow in theaters.

Duvvada Jagannadham will be in theaters from June 23rd, 2017.
