'AAY' Says Friendship Is More Important Than Caste & Religion: Narne Nithin

'MAD' fame Narne Nithin is arriving with his second movie titled 'AAY'. Produced under the prestigious GA2 Pictures banner, the title was revealed in March. This movie marks the directorial debut of Anji Kanchipally and Vidya Koppineedi is also bankrolling this project alongside Bunny Vas. The movie is hitting the screens on 15th August. Under the supervision of Allu Aravind, the movie is arriving with a decent buzz. Narne Nithin talked about the movie and shared his thoughts with the press.

He said, “The film promises to be full of fun, as indicated by the "Fun Bath" label on the posters. This is a concept introduced by the director, and audiences will understand it clearly on the release day.” He added, “The title was not decided before the film. We chose it based on Aravind garu's suggestion. The word "AAY" is commonly used in Godavari slang and features prominently in various contexts within the movie.”

Talking about Godavari slang used in the film, he stated, “Speaking in Godavari slang did not bother me, as I often conversed with my Godavari friends and listened to their speech. Despite many films releasing on August 15, we believe we have the audience we need. It has been a while since a fun Godavari backdrop movie was released, and we are confident that the audience will enjoy this one.”

He said that NTR has seen the trailer and enjoyed the comedy. It was gratifying to receive positive feedback from him after watching the movie according to Nithiin. Regarding his director, the hero said, “Director Anji K. Maniputhra, hailing from Amalapuram, has infused his personal experiences and frustrations into "AAY." He is friendly and gets along well with everyone on set. I adapted to the character in "AAY" based on the movie's story. There was no special effort needed; I simply followed the director's instructions.”

He went on to say, “I do not believe that films should be made solely with debut directors. I choose films based on the story. Although "AAY" is a quirky film, I enjoyed the story and acted accordingly. Regarding the music, Ram Miryala garu composed three songs, and Ajay Arasada provided the background score and two songs. Music plays a crucial role in a film's success. My journey with Ankith Koya and Kasireddy on this film was great. We had extensive discussions and took suggestions on how to proceed.”

Talking about the heroine, he revealed, “Nayan Sarika, though a Marathi girl, fits well into her role as a Telugu girl, and her character resonates with everyone. The film "AAY" conveys the message that friendship is more important than caste and religion, emphasizing that nothing is greater than true friendship.”

He stated that the shooting for 'MAD' sequel is happening right now and it may get released at the end of this year. He is yet to sign other projects right now.
