HE film UI released on Friday in Kannada and some other languages, including Telugu. Director Upendra makes a comeback after nine years with the film, which also stars Reeshma Nanaiah in a lead role. In the middle of his hectic schedule, Upendra took time to talk exclusively to CE about the film, share his views on life and politics, among other things.
"I believe that like every film, UI is a genuine effort. We've put in our best, and I'm confident that the audience will feel it," Upendra says with a calm, reflective tone. He adds, "Today's cinema isn't limited to one language - it's global. We're trying to speak the language of the present, and I've danced to the tunes of the times."
A recurring theme in Upendra's films has been politics, and when asked if his stories intentionally lean towards such themes, he answers thoughtfully, "It's all about how you perceive it. If you see my films as political, yes, there may be connections. But you can also see it as philosophical, psychological, or simply as entertainment. There are many layers to peel."
