Ace director Krishna Vamsi describes his next release Danger as a ‘non-dramatic’ film and assures ‘pulsating experience’ for the viewers. After two flops, he felt it was an ideal time to explore single-plot genre and has roped in a young starcast in the youth-centric thriller. The maker intends to bounce back after duds like Sri Anjaneyam and Chakram. After the not-so-impressive Hindi debut Shakti, Krishna Vamsi is brimming to make a comeback in Hindi with a ‘sure-fire’ script. He draws similarities with noted producer Boney Kapoor in their ‘perseverance against odds’. Like his mentor Ram Gopal Varma, he plans to promote new directors but dismisses off the comparison ...
The title Danger is too obvious. Can this thriller break your jinx?
I always believed that a title should convey the storyline in a nutshell enabling the audience to relate to it much better. They can develop some ideas to arrive at theatres with a considerable opinion. I think even the titles of my previous films like Khadgam and Sindooram aptly reflected the content. I preferd titles that crop up from my scripts and never fancy catchy titles. The content would ‘caution’ the common man from impending danger in his life. The two-hour-odd viewing would be a pulsating experience. I never believed in this jinx factor since I always struggled to convey my scripts either to stars or makers in my career. If Mahesh suggested a fairy-tale end for Murari, few expressed apprehensions about the feel-good Ninne Pelladutha but I stuck to my view. I equate my attempts to ‘bungy jump’ while others describe it as a suicidal fall. Flops could dent my marketability but not my resolve.
Do you intend to caution the youth against avoidable or unavoidable risks and how confident are you about your non-dramatic film?
It’s definitely an edge-of-the-seat thriller but I don’t want to reveal more at this stage. Though it comprises young casting, it’s not meant for the youth alone but for every human who could come across such a ‘risk’ in his life span. It would harp more on the ‘attitude’ of human beings towards their life. Human beings should be alert and cautious for a peaceful life or else face the consequences, once again reiterating the fact that nothing is precious than ‘life’. I have tried a complete non-dramatic film in my career and it was quite amazing. It will also mark the maiden single-plot film of my career devoid of songs and dance routine (though many say I am best in it) and other so-called ingredients to dish out a ‘realistic drama’. It was quite challenging to hold interest with taut screenplay. Now I am whacking my brains even on the editing desk to come up with a gripping entertainer with only delightful background score for support. Since producer Madhu is more like a friend I could go through this fascinating experience. Confidence stems from the ‘unique format’ and I hope audience would oblige.
It is learnt that you shot the film with minimum lighting. Does it have the potential of a remake?
I was toying with this idea to shoot a film with natural source of light for quite a long time. I could do it now because I have found the right script. For the night sequences particularly we used torches, lights of cars and bikes. Since it came out very well in the rushes I pursued it or else I would have abandoned it. Contrary to the notion that it would be a daunting task, I just went through it including the strenuous post-production since I was detemined to provide a new look. I always believed in the adage of ‘where there is will, there is a way’. The film definitely has an universal theme and most probably I would be remaking it in Hindi early next year. Like me, Boney Kapoor has a daunting spirit and we have been in touch for a long time. Very soon we could do a film together if everything falls in place.
Sri Anjayaneyam failed due to inappropriate fusion of social-cause with devotion while the love story Chakram was too idealistic and suffered from miscasting? Do you agree?
I should blame it on my disjointed screenplay for the failure of Sri Anjaneyam since I couldn’t convey my point to the audience convincingly. It was an excuse to show that a common man can transform into a God if he has strong resolve. If an ordinary monkey can become a God, why not a human being. I also take entire blame for the disastrous performance of philosophical film Chakram. It propagated universal love and was intended to make people realise the ‘truth’. Briefly it was how a man can spread happiness in his ‘brief’ journey called life. Miscasting is just a ‘myth’ since Prabhas has done a brilliant job. I cannot blame the audience since we are at their ‘mercy’ as they spend money on us to deliver a film that would enthrall them. After a plot strikes my mind I sit down to develop a screenplay and for both these films, I realised half-way through that it was going haywire. Neither was I happy with the screenplay of Khadgam but it turned out to be a hit. With Sindooram turning out to be my trademark film I could make challenging films like Anthapuram and Khadgam to tread a different path. So I intend to pursue this path of ‘realism’ and develop compatible narratives to my fresh plots unmindful of box-office prospects.
You have turned an ad filmmaker with the Thumbs Up campaign. Will you introduce new talents in your productions house like your mentor Ram Gopal Varma?
I had some fascination for ad filmmaking and I approached a few people concerned but nothing materialised. But now I am happy to begin my journey since I really enjoyed the challenge of conveying a message and as well as about product within no time. I would pursue this ambition besides films since I am discussing a few assignments. I have also resolved to introduce new talents provided they fit into my scheme of things since I intend to involve myself in every aspect to churn out a note-worthy film. Ramu is ‘light’ years ahead of me. I’ll do things in my own small way to promote good cinema.
