Allari Naresh is coming back with a comedy movie after a long gap. His new film is Ramba Oorvasi Menaka (RUM), a fantasy comedy that is scheduled to release on September 4. The actor believes this movie will give audiences a fun and relaxed experience in theatres.
Allari Naresh became very popular with comedy films in the past. Movies like Kithakithalu and Bendu Apparao R.M.P are still remembered by many Telugu audiences. With RUM, the actor wants to return to the same comedy space that made him a favourite among family audiences.
Naresh said that when director Chandra Mohan narrated the story, he immediately felt that it had the potential to become a proper comedy entertainer. He also felt that audiences have been waiting for this kind of full-length comedy movie for a long time.
He said that the comedy in RUM is not only based on dialogues or one-liners but director has created many situations around actors body language and acting style. The comedy is expected to come naturally from the situations and characters.
The makers are also trying to keep the humour clean. Naresh believes that the film can be enjoyed by both adults and children. The fantasy elements are expected to make the movie more interesting for young audiences, while the comedy is aimed at the entire family.
Naresh plays a unique version of Indra in the movie. The character has a different style and does not always speak in the traditional mythological manner. Indra speaking in English and sometimes Hindi is also used as part of the comedy. This unusual presentation is expected to create more fun moments in the film.
The actor is hoping that the combination of fantasy, comedy and family entertainment will connect with audiences. RUM could become an important film for Naresh if it succeeds at the box office.
Meanwhile, fans are also interested in the possibility of Sudigadu 2. Naresh has expressed interest in returning to the popular franchise, but copyright-related issues remain a major challenge.
