Telugu star Sudheer Babu soeaks with Subhash K Jha about how he is celebrating Pongal and reveals more about his “Outstanding” collaboration with Prerna Arora on his new film Jatadhara.
How are you celebrating Pongal ?
This year, I’m celebrating Pongal with prep work and mock shoots for Telugu-Hindi film Jatadhara in Mumbai . I’m enjoying this new way of celebrating too! There is not better way to celebrate than hard work. Jokes aside, Pongal is my favorite festival because it’s steeped in cultural heritage. We always have big family gatherings for it.
How different do you find the work ethics on Hyderabad and Mumbai?
Not much difference in talent or resources; it’s really just the working style that varies, and I’m already accustomed to it from my Baaghi days.
How is the Jatadhara experience so far?
It is enriching! Prerna Arora stands out as a producer with a deep love for cinema, focusing not just on finance but on crafting unique theatrical experiences.
What is the unique selling point of your collaboration?
Our collaboration’s unique selling point is blending mythology with science, promising audiences an unparalleled cinematic journey.
How was 2024 for you and are you looking forward to 2025?
In 2024, I had two well-received films, Harom Hara and Ma Nanna Super Hero, released. I’m thrilled to kick off 2025 with Jatadhara. As always, I focus on my work and leave it to the audience to decide its success.
