Chennai: Actor Ravi Teja believes films such as ‘Baahubali 2’ and his forthcoming Telugu action-comedy ‘Kick 2’, which releases worldwide on Friday, will usher in the franchise culture in Telugu filmdom.
“I’m confident that ‘Baahubali 2′ and aKick 2’ will pave way to more franchise-based films. This is just the beginning of the trend,” Ravi told IANS.
He is convinced of the success of movies in a franchise rests on the shoulders of a good writer.
“It’s a misconception that you make a second film of a franchise, because the first was a success. A writer has a very important role in building a successful franchise, and one of the reasons why ‘Kick 2” even happened is because our writer Vamsi “he said.
‘Kick 2 “was written by Vakkantham Vamsi, who was also associated with” Kick “and other hits like’ Yevadu ‘,’ Race Gurram ‘and’ Temper ‘.
“It ended ‘Kick’ with the idea of a sequel, but never got back to him. Then our writer Vamsi launched this idea and thought it might be related to the franchise ‘Kick’. ‘Kick 2’ is not a sequel, but an extension of the franchise, “Ravi said.
Without revealing much, Ravi said “Kick 2” to the public will be experienced in “Kick” to the next level.
“When people come to see ‘Kick 2’, waiting to be larger and not be disappointed. This will be even more entertaining and shopping. In ‘Kick’ almost was not much action and did not even have a villain. This time, the action has been taken a notch higher and no villains, “he said.
Explaining why “Kick 2” is not a sequel to “Kick” Teja said: “These are two different stories with characters who are polar opposites I play the son of the star of” Kick ‘, and unlike my desire. take advantage of everything I do, this time I’m after comfort. ”
Directed by Surender Reddy, ‘Kick 2’ also it has Rakul Preet Singh, Ravi Kishan, Rajpal Yadav and Singh Duhan Kabir.
Ravi feels much has changed about its director from ‘Kick’, published in 2009.
“The Surender I worked on ‘Kick’ is a lot different now. Feel my company has changed. It’s probably my fun spirit that has made it more fun. Post ‘Kick’, his films have become entertainment. They aren ‘t really like his previous films, “he said, adding that his fun has caught a lot of people who have worked nature.
Affectionately called by his fans Mass Maharaja Ravi loves his nickname and swears by it. That’s the reason I prefer to make commercial films?
“Not that I have not experienced. But every time I did, the result has not been satisfactory. I prefer to concentrate on making films that entertain dozens of people. I have to admit that they are responsible for my successful career,” Ravi said that He feels that it is safer to do films that work.
‘Kick 2 “was scheduled to release much earlier and, although the exact reason for the delay is unknown, rumor has it that manufacturers expected the storm” Baahubali “to settle.
“The delay was also due to some work of post-production. We decided to give ‘Baahubali’ a career interrupted because we thought deserved it. Look what success has done to Telugu cinema. It has become the pride of Indian cinema” he said.
Ravi also said that the success of ‘Baahubali’ should not add pressure on the filmmakers.
“We should not compete with ‘Baahubali’ or any film for that matter. We have to learn from their success that movies can also generate a lot of revenue. We must understand that the success of ‘Baahubali’ and ‘Srimanthudu” will only benefit the industry in the long term, “he added.
