'Kerala is an important market for Telugu films'
After Telugu star Allu Arjun conquered the Kerala market in a big way, Telugu filmmakers are looking at this small market seriously.Now, it is the turn of actor Vishnu Manchu, son of Telugu super star Mohan Babu. His new film Dhenikaina Ready will be dubbed in Malayalam. The actor is famous for his role in Dhee.
Dhenikaina Ready produced by 24 Frames Factory and directed by G Nageshwara Reddy,is slated for an October release simultaneously in Telugu and Malayalam.Acting along with Vishnu Manchu is Hansika Motwani.
In this chat with rediff.com, Vishnu Manchu talks about the Kerala market.
Is it the success of Allu Arjun's films that made you look at the Kerala market?
Not really. Some of my father's movies have been dubbed and remade in Malayalam.I strongly believe that the time has come for actors to see a market that is without borders.With collective efforts, this will be possible. With the increase in budgets, we have no choice but to expand our market all over. Also, my first movie Vishnu was directed by Shaji Kailas who is a very popular director in Kerala.
