Sai Pallavi doubled the film’s buzz and Love Story is having a record release tomorrow. Naga Chaitanya interacted with the media and here are the excerpts from his interview:

I am very confident about Love Story. The advance bookings for the first weekend are exceptional. Have to wait to see how the film performs from Monday.

The audience rushed to theatres after the first wave of the pandemic. They are ready to watch films in theatres if they have interesting content. I am confident that the audience will watch Love Story in theatres.

We never shot two climaxes for the film. As we had enough time for release, we had shot some of the episodes again after we watched the rough cut.

Love Story is a realistic romantic drama that is made without cinematic liberties. The content looks fresh and impressive.

The Telugu film industry is eagerly waiting for the result of Love Story. The film’s success will be a huge boost for Tollywood.

Sekhar Kammula is honest in work and he has his own style. I love his detailing and he picks up sensitive topics.

Sai Pallavi’s role is crucial and we narrate an issue through her role. It will have an impact.

I have done enough homework before joining the sets of Love Story. I watched lots of videos to speak in the Telangana dialect. Most of the film is shot in Nizamabad. I took enough time to dub for my role in Love Story.

Sekhar Kammula and his team designed the dance moves that will suit my body language. Sai Pallavi has been patient during the shoot of the songs. I took enough takes for the songs.

Sekhar Kammula is one filmmaker who shoots his films in live locations. This would be a huge plus for any film.

I am not much bothered about the pan-Indian market. My aim is to do films for Telugu audience. We will miss the nativity films if we run towards pan-Indian films. My focus is completely on Tollywood.

Working with Aamir Khan is a memorable experience. I have learned a lot in those 40 days when we shot for Laal Singh Chaddha.

I love Soggade Chinni Nayana a lot. Bangarraju is a fresh script.

After the arrival of coronavirus, things have drastically changed all over. Some of them are trying hard to hold their films and some of them are taking OTT paths. I am not here to judge anyone. Love Story is a film made for a theatre experience.

After the first wave of the pandemic, movies like Krack, Uppena and Jathi Ratnalu ended up as the biggest hits and proved the stamina of Telugu cinema. They even got the glory back when the other film industries continued to be under closure. After the second wave of the pandemic, Tollywood failed to register a solid hit. Though the audience are ready to watch movies in theatres, there were no impressive films released till date. SR Kalyanamandapam is the only film that made decent money. Some of the films opened big but they fell flat after a strong weekend. All eyes are now focused on Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi starter Love Story.

The film is carrying terrific expectations and this Sekhar Kammula directorial is expected to open with a bang. The pre-release sales of Love Story are exceptional all over. The fate of close to dozen films in October will depend on the performance of Love Story. The film will open with a bang considering the pre-release sales but Love Story should have a consistent run and register massive numbers. This depends completely on how big will the film appeal to the Telugu audience. For now, Tollywood is completely focused on Love Story.

The foreign schedule is wrapped up and the pending portions will be completed in Hyderabad. Rashi Khanna is the leading lady and Dil Raju is the producer. Naga Chaitanya signed a film in the direction of Vijay Kanakamedala and Shine Screens will produce this film. The project starts rolling once Naga Chaitanya is done with the shoot of Thank You. He also signed a web series for Amazon Prime and the shoot commences this year. Vikram Kumar will direct this horror thriller and it will be available on Amazon next.

Naga Chaitanya is in talks for couple of films and he will take the final call on them once he hears the final drafts. Naga Chaitanya is expected to work without breaks.
