‘Hero checkmates baddy with brains than brawn’
After duds Dhairyam and Ram, young actor Nitin is pinning high hopes on his next Satyam Sivam Sundaram to move back into the reckoning. “Its a familiar plot but the screenplay is mind-blowing,†reveals the youngster who has teamed up with Malayalam hit-maker Siddique for this hilarious entertainer. “Hero checkmates baddy with brains than brawn,†opines Nitin who claims that his co-star Meera Chopra plays a ‘pivotal role’. Director Siddique who is making his debut in Telugu after thumbing down many offers describes it as a ‘laugh-riot with a message to boot’. “Title will be justified,†promises bearded maker who claims to have extracted ‘good comedy’ from Telugu artistes. “With writer Ramana’s considerable help we could come up with realistic humour devoid of slapstick,†reveals Siddique who intends to do other language films after a ‘dream run’ in Malayalam besides few Tamil hits. Will Telugu the audience oblige?
