Star writer-director Trivikram Srinivas is known for taking a long time for shootings. None of his films were made at a fast pace barring ‘Aravinda Sametha’. He maintains a gap of at least one year between his films and the time extends to two years at times. Insiders say that he is very particular about what he wants and doesn’t compromise about it.
Starting from set properties to star cast, he doesn’t compromise in any aspect and this leads to a lot of delays in production. Sometimes, the huge star cast he picks makes it hard for the rest of the staff to plan schedules. He is known for taking noted artists from various languages and getting their call sheets is a huge task as they are busy with multiple projects throughout the year.
Since he announced the release date already for #SSMB28, talk suggests that he decided to change his style. He is now planning the schedules and shooting days first and will hire actors who are available in those days. Apart from Mahesh Babu, Pooja Hegde and Sreeleela, Trivikram is reportedly not going to be particular on the rest of the actors. He tries to get what he wants but won’t be adamant on that if things don’t go in his way. As we know, no actor wants to say no to a Trivikram film.
Also, the ‘Julayi’ director is planning to shoot in local locations without planning foreign shoots and avoid time wastage. We need to wait and see if this really happens or not.
Mahesh and Trivikram delivered classics like ‘Athadu’ and ‘Khaleja’ previously. Pooja Hegde is the heroine in this project and people are eager to listen to Thaman’s songs especially after delivering blockbuster albums for Trivikram in the form of ‘Ala Vaikunthapuramlo’ and ‘Aravinda Sametha’. PS Vinod will be cranking the camera while Naveen Nooli is the editor. AS Prakash is the art director.
