The Inbetweenists
There are people who do and people who don’t want to do but the majority of the people can’t decide what to do, is what I have realized over the years. I call them the inbetweenists because they are neither successful in their individual achievements nor are they failures who have atleast tried to become [...]

Lock-up Lessons
Many people do not know that back in Siddhartha Engg. College in Vijayawada I used to be kind of involved in lots of gang fights which were quite common in colleges during those days. I think primarily gang fights in colleges exist because of lack of interest in studies and wanting to seek excitement and [...]

The Psychological aspect of BackGround Music
I was always fascinated with Background Music. I saw the film “ALIEN” 17 times in Vijayawada, Urvashi theatre, out of which at least 3 of the shows I just shut my eyes so that the visual won’t disturb my concentration on the music. I used to take in a tape-recorder in a bag to record [...]

Sculpting Emotions
I think truly that’s what a Director should be about. I have always maintained that the Director is not a primary artiste in the sense of the word. There is an Actor, a Story, a Music Director, a Cinematographer etc who are all primary artistes. The Director amalgamates all these arts into one wholesome experience [...]

The Biggest Thrill of My Life
. I used to hangout near a theatre called Vijaylaxmi in a place called Kamayyathopu in Vijayawada. Me and two of my friends Sridhar and Naresh were the 3 most useless bums in our college. Everyday without exception we used to watch movies and many times repeatedly the same movie. The reason for us to [...]

Memories of the Cycle chain
.. It’s amazing for me the sheer number of people the way they remember the impact that “Shiva” had on them. Recently I was travelling from Hyderabad to Vizag and after a few minutes into the flight the passenger next to me asked me who I was as he felt that I looked familiar. When [...]

The SOUND of SILENCE
Lot of people tell me that the sound in Bhoot was very frightening. But it’s actually the silence which comes before that which makes any sound effective especially in the scary film genre. Apart from camera work and background music, sound obviously plays the most important role in creating a state of heightened tension. Irrespective [...]
