Puris magic is back with Mehbooba: Dil Raju

A special meet of 'Mehbooba' was held on Sunday.  Puri Jagannadh, Akash Puri and others associated with the entertainer were present.  The film releases on May 11.  

Dil Raju said, "It was with 'Idiot' in 2002 that my association with Puri Jagannadh gar started.  I was nothing back then.  Jagan has made 'Badri' with Pawan Kalyan garu, 'Pokiri' with Mahesh Babu garu, 'Bujjigadu' with Prabhas, 'Temper' with NTR, 'Chirutha' with Ram Charan, 'Desamuduru' with Bunny and scored hits with them.  His heroes are always distinct in terms of characters.

He has made hits with all top stars.  Ups and downs are common.  He is an extraordinary director.  If he has a great story, he can make an extraordinary movie.  When I watched Mehbooba's teaser, I asked someone to watch this movie.  Puri Jagannadh and Charmme then arranged a show.  I enjoyed the first half.  And after watching the whole movie, I told Jagan, 'This is your strength'.  I started telling everyone that 'Mehbooba' is so good.  Jagan's magic is back with this movie.  With proper content, any film can be a hit.  Rajamouli made 'Magadheera', telling a 400-year-old love story.  It was a blockbuster.  Now, Puri is telling a story set in 1971 and the screenplay is fantastic.  The way the climax is heralded in the movie, it felt like watching a new movie altogether.  Akash and Neha Shetty have performed beautifully.  The technicians have done a great job.  We are releasing the movie on May 11."

Akash Puri said, "I loved Daddy's story.  We have all worked hard and with confidence.  I was never scared at any point.  The shooting went on very happily.  The response that the teaser and the trailer have got is great.  Our confidence in the product has only increased after Dil Raju garu appreciated it.  After he came on board, everybody started saying that our film will surely be a hit."  Akash then lauded the work done by cinematographer Vishnu Sharma, Satish Master's fights, Jani's sets, Junaid's editing, Vishnu Reddy's acting (as the film's villain).  "Everybody is telling me I am being launched by my father.  However, I am proud that he is being launched with a great film done by me," Akash signed off.

Neha Shetty said, "This is my first Telugu movie.  I have done a nice character in it."  Vishnu Reddy, the film's antagonist, said that everybody worked day in and day out to ensure the right output.  

Charmme Kaur said, "The best talent have worked on this movie.  Akash, Neha and Vishnu Reddy are fantastic actors.  There is a war scene in which 800 artists participated.  When he watched the movie, Dil Raju garu said that this is what a Puri film is.  We roped in some of the talent by conducting a contest through Puri Connects.    The trailer is trending with 4 million views.  We are going to release 'O Priya O Priya' song on April 16 at 5 PM."

Cinematographer Vishnu Sharma said, "I was spellbound on listening to the story.  Everybody has done a fantastic work."

Art director Jani said, "This is a heart-touching movie.  Akash has done a passionate job."

Editor Junaid Siddiqui said, "When I and Puri garu watched the movie in the edit room, we had tears in the eyes.  It has come out that well.  The film has a different pattern altogether.  Akash has acted so extraordinarily that I didn't have to impose cuts."

Fight master Real Satish said, "Akash has acted in the fights without a body double.  We worked in minus degree Celsius in Jordan."
