Childhood Innocence Is the Soul of Summer Holidays story: Dheeraj Mogilineni
Dheeraj Mogilineni said, “We could have changed the children's characters into teenagers and added a love story to make the film more commercial.
Summer Holidays brings together childhood innocence, family emotions and nostalgic memories in a story directed by Srikar. Produced by Dheeraj Mogilineni under Dheeraj Mogilineni Entertainments, the film features Master Rohan, Master Arun and Baby Khushi in lead roles. With its theatrical release scheduled for November 6, the film aims to offer audiences a heartwarming experience.
Explaining his decision to retain the natural innocence of the characters, producer Dheeraj Mogilineni said, “We could have changed the children's characters into teenagers and added a love story to make the film more commercial. But that would have taken away the innocence of childhood. The sensitivity and innocence of these characters are the soul of this story.”
He also spoke about the natural approach of director Srikar and the performances in the film. “I found the same innocence and honesty in our director that are reflected in Rohan and Arun's characters. Nothing in the story feels artificially introduced. The performances, movements and visuals have all been handled with great naturalness.”
“Our film does not carry a specific message; instead, it is driven by beautiful emotions.” He added, “As a producer, I am not looking for awards. I simply want audiences to come to theatres and make our film a success.”
