SSS is a dark comedy - Sivaji & Laya interview | idlebrain.com Jeevi

Описание: Here is a summary of the interview featuring actors Sivaji and Laya discussing their upcoming film, Sampradayini Suppini Suddhapusani (SSS), with Jeevi from idlebrain.com:

About the Film "SSS" and Production [00:00:19 - 00:04:15]

Theatrical Push: Sivaji explains that ETV is the primary producer funding the project. However, he believed in the script so much that he invested his own money (25% extra) to ensure high technical quality and a proper theatrical release, sharing the theatrical revenue 50-50 with ETV.

Dark Comedy Genre: Sivaji compares the film's genre to Nelson Dilipkumar's dark comedies like Doctor and Kolamavu Kokila.

Laya's Character: Laya plays a role with a slight negative tint—an innocently selfish wife who constantly pushes her husband for financial security. Her nagging and the resulting frustration from her husband drive the comedy in the film.

Reflecting on Past Films and Controversies [00:05:06 - 00:21:46]

The "Dandora" Controversy: Sivaji addresses the recent social media backlash regarding his comments during the promotions of Dandora. He clarifies that his intentions were never to disrespect women, but he admits he used unparliamentary words in the flow of the moment, for which he has already apologized.

Setbacks: They discuss how Dandora suffered due to its serious-sounding title and a poorly timed theatrical release. Sivaji also shared an anecdote about how a wrong title ruined his past film State Rowdy, which released on the exact same day as his other massive hit, Mantra.

Best Compliment: Sivaji reveals that veteran actress Vanisri personally called him to praise his performance in Dandora, comparing him to legendary actors of her era.

Laya's Comeback Disappointment [00:14:39 - 00:17:05]

Laya opens up about her disappointment over her comeback film Thammudu not performing well at the box office. She notes that the failure hurt extra because she sacrificed two years of her time, stayed away from social media, and missed out on family time in the US for the project. However, she remains positive and is ready to move forward.

Upcoming Projects [00:26:13 - 00:30:37]

Laya's Slate: She has almost completed a comedy film with actor Srikanth directed by Nageswara Reddy, and is soon doing a psychological thriller alongside Jagapathi Babu.

Sivaji's Slate: Sivaji is working on Lenin (with Akhil), a serious film called Premaki Namaskaram where he plays a lawyer opposite Bhumika Chawla (who plays a judge and his ex-lover), and Epic (the sequel to the hit series 90s), where he returns as the father.

Release Date & Personal Updates [00:30:37 - 00:34:33]

Laya briefly touches upon her life in the US, sharing that she frequently travels back and forth to balance her family life and acting career. Being a US citizen, she does not face any travel issues.

The interview concludes with the announcement that Sampradayini Suppini Suddhapusani will have its theatrical release on March 6th, with premiere shows planned for March 5th.
