Uyyala Jampala Press Meet

Introducing Rah Tarun and Avika Ghor as hero and heroine, Akkineni Nagarjuna and P Ram Mohan are coming up with the clean family entertainer titled ‘Uyyala Jampala’ on Annapurna Studios and Sun Shine Cinemas banners with D Suresh Babu as its presenter and Virinchi Varma as director. On the eve of the film’s release on December 25th a press meet was held at Hyderabad in which Nagarjuna, Ram Mohan, Virinchi Varma, Raj, Tarun, Avika Ghor and others participated.

Nagarjuna said, “As told earlier, ‘Uyyala Jampala’ is the film about ‘Bava Maradallu’ on village backdrop. The film will definitely give a fresh feel. Of late youth are confined to cities only and are not aware of village atmosphere. This film will certainly remind them of beautiful village atmosphere. Raj Tarun and Avika Ghor gave wonderful performances. I’m aware of girls in Anakapally. Avika performed excellently in the role of a village girl. The film is set for release on December 25th. Of late Telugu movies are collecting around Rs 70 to 80 crores. But that’s very small amount. The reason being our ticket rates are very low. All remain calm and accept whatever rates increase but when it comes to movie tickets, everyone protests. Whatever it may be, Annapurna Studios will henceforth produce small budget films. Yashraj Films is the only banner in Bollywood that produces big and small films. Director Virinchi came out with a wonderful story and carved out a feel good film.”

Suresh Babu said, “We are planning to produce small budget films on Suresh Productions along with Annapurna Studios. We are ready to do films provided we come across good stories. Avika is known to Telugu audience through serial. Ram Mohan and director Virinchi Varma wanted her for this film as they felt she is apt for it. Similarly we roped in Raj Tarun because he is perfect for the village boy role.”

Ram Mohan said, “We earlier did ‘Ashta Chamma’ and ‘Golkonda High School’ and received good response from the audience. Now when we wanted to produce this film, Nagarjuna garu and Suresh Babu garu became our partners. ‘Uyyala Jampala’ is a feel good love story on village backdrop. We are releasing it on December 25th.”

Director Virinchi Varma said, “I’m unable to believe the fact that I directed a film that is produced by Ram Mohan garu, Nagarjuna garu and Suresh Babu garu. Working with Ram Mohan garu is like working with a friend. This is a pure village love story in a realistic manner. The film will depict characters exactly the way we see in villages. Sunny rendered wonderful music.”

Avika Ghor said, “I’m very happy to do film under Nagarjuna garu’s banner. Serials are different from films. I love serials but at the same time I’m ready to do films also. Both are important to me.”

Raj Tarun said, “I joined in direction department for this film. But my director and producer made me a hero and surprised me. I still can’t believe that it’s true and feel like a dream.”
