WITH PASSION AND CONVICTION PRAVEEN SATTARU TRANSLATES HIS DREAMS INTO CELLULOID REALITIES
RAJESHWARI KALYANAM
ACTION WITH SWAG

Nagarjuna’s ‘Ghost’ is one of the most anticipated movies in recent times. It is believed to bring back the memories of hero Nagarjuna is iconic films like ‘Shiva’ and ‘Antham’. “For me Nagarjuna means the one with silent intensity, action with swag. I was fascinated with the way he looked, standing tall in the face of danger. And, you will see this in ‘Ghost’,” shares Praveen Sattaru, who is directing Nagarjuna for the first time.

Action genre isn’t new for Praveen Sattaru. However, every film he does, he tries something new, and with ‘Ghost’ he is also directing Nagarjuna. There was excitement about how the film shaped up but also an element of tension; however, the response to the teaser put my fears to rest, he says, “That was an assurance that the audience is ready and looking for exciting content and we are here to deliver that. I have always been fascinated by action; it is my favourite genre. When you transform something on screen it exhilarates me. Action with swag is a deadly combination and Nag fits the bill.”

Praveen has always believed in not following any formula. He set his own route map while making a film. He even admitted to not working for any film before he made his first film. His films may have worked or not at the box office; but they have always made the right noises and were noticed. His ‘Chandamama Kathalu’ that brought him the National Award is one such example. And, then ‘Garuda Vega’ happened. People saw the movie and noticed a different Rajasekhar in an action thriller. They gave Praveen the much-needed success tag. Perhaps it is his penchant for action that has raised the expectations for ‘Ghost’ as well.
