Thrinadha Rao Didn’t Give Me The Chance: Shiva Nirvana

Kandregula Naidu and Thrinadha Rao Nakkina are jointly producing Anakapalli, starring Vikram Sahidev, Sandhya Vasishta, and Tarak Ponnappa in the lead roles, with Khagesh Thammineni directing it. The makers of Anakapalli hosted a grand pre-release event with several prominent guests praising the film’s local flavour, performances and young lead Vikram Sahidev.

VV Vinayak expressed strong confidence in Vikram’s future while appreciating Lagadapati Sridhar’s passion for cinema. “Lagadapati Sridhar has a greater passion for cinema than all of us. Vikram will become a big hero and fulfil Sridhar’s dream. Tarak Ponnappa is frightening everyone with his performance.”

Shiva Nirvana brought a personal perspective to the event, recalling his student days in the town. “I have a strong emotional connection with Anakapalli. I studied for my degree there. I too wanted to write a story based on the emotion of Anakapalli, but Thrinadha Rao did not give me that chance. With Anakapalli, he has attempted something different. I hope he will also become busy as an actor from now on. I also wish Vikram will become a big hero.”

Thrinadha Rao Nakkina spoke about the actors performances. “There is a similar competition between every character in Anakapalli. Each actor competed with the others and delivered their best. You will watch Anakapalli without getting distracted even for a second.”

Lagadapati Sridhar teased the film’s central emotional conflict. “We have already watched Anakapalli. It is going to be something fresh. What happens when the lover becomes even more violent? The film presents those consequences beautifully. It also shows what a lover should be like in a compelling manner.”

Anakapalli is gearing up for its theatrical release on October 2.
