I Won't Disappoint You & Learnt A Lot From Lankala Rathna: Vishwak Sen

With just a day left for 'Gangs Of Godavari' to hit the screens, 'Mass Ka Das' Vishwak Sen and movie's producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi have attended the press meet and revealed some interesting facts about the movie. Vishwak sounded very confident about the film's output. As we know, Krishna Chaitanya is the writer and director of this movie while Yuvan Shankar Raja is the music composer.

Vishwak said, “I was conscious about getting the Godavari slang right. I didn't want anyone to point a finger at my performance and I think I did justice to the role and won't disappoint you. I don't want to be labelled as a Telangana actor. I learnt a lot from Lankala Rathna, he comes across as an unpredictable character, but he is someone with his own set of morals. I related with that side.”

He added, “Gangs of Godavari will be a milestone moment in Telugu cinema. I'm saying this after a screening yesterday. Gangs of Godavari will most likely have a sequel, but unlike Hit, I will be playing the lead role in it too.” Talking about the action sequence in 'Gangs Of Godavari' before the interval, he said, “There's a lot of talk about Telugu cinema going global lately. We too have a taste for films like The Godfather, Scarface and shows like Game of Thrones. It is because they are a product of honest, no-holds-barred filmmaking. Gangs of Godavari too has a fight before intermission without slow motion and background score that'll blow everyone's minds. It's a risk but filmmaking is evolving with time and we must respect that.”

Naga Vamsi said, “Gangs of Godavari is Vishwak Sen's finest performance to date. What you've seen from him in the last five years is a mere trailer. Audiences will be surprised that a young actor has pulled off such a challenging role. Yuvan Shankar Raja's background score is a major highlight. Lankala Rathna is a character that'll stay with you after a long time.”

He added, “If people are finding a few moments in the trailer too direct, they need to understand the rags-to-riches story revolves around the highs and lows in the life of a slum dweller and the tone is decided by his trajectory. Supriya garu (of Annapurna Studios) called to tell me that she really liked the trailer. I presume she understood it too. We can make better films if we're more open-minded. The first half has many high moments, showcasing Rathna's growth while post intermission focuses on the problems he faces.” Neha Shetty is the heroine in this film while Anjali is playing a key role.
