Director’s point….

Are you feeling tensed for the movie release?

No I’m not. I’m in a super hit feeling and the reason is a hug from Chiranjeevi after seeing movie.

Did you make any changes to original story, Kathi for making Khaidi No.150?

No, there were no much changes. A few elements like songs, comedy & style moments are added for Chiranjeevi’s fans. I became emotional after listening to Neeru…Neeru song, whose lyrics are written excellently by Ramajogayya Sastry. DSP’s music matches to Illayaraja and Keeravani’s level.

Chiranjeevi said, My initial thought was V.V.Vinayak while making film….your opinion?

It’s a big complement for me.

Is there any variation between Kathi viewers & non-viewers?

It will be thrill feeling for those who didn’t watch Kathi and those who have seen will appreciate Chiranjeevi’s acting style with new elements.

Pavan Kalyan’s entry is expected in Ammadu song as Thammudu word is uttered?

No, he didn’t act in the movie.

What is your feeling on Ram Charan as a producer?

There will be no pitfalls or dearth for anything under his production.

According to you, what is the attitude of Chiranjeevi & Charan on the sets?

Charan is workaholic and Chiranjeevi as well but observes everyone on sets.

What is the reason behind choosing Kajal Aggarwal as a heroine?

My first choice was Anushka but as she was busy in "Baahubali" & "Om Namo Venkatesaya" shooting. Kajal was finalized as a heroine.

Did you observe any differences in Chiranjeevi’s personality in Tagore & Khaidi?

As an actor, I didn’t observe any changes but personally he looked more handsome. Age no bar for him, he still proves with strong will one can achieve anything.

Will movie help in Chiranjeevi’s politics?

No, both are not related. He is loved as an actor by people, that is proved in pre- release & during advance booking.

What is the title justification? It reflects

It reflects commercial meaning and my feeling is as Chiranjeevi has began his career with Khaidi and has reached upto 150 movies now.

Any reason for Tamil remake?

Simply, because it’ll become hit, if dubbed movie won't be the present range . After watching the movie, the writers will pen the stories on Chiranjeevi’s acting.

Can you describe story in a single line?

farmer who never sees a 1000 rupee note is affected by power of 1000 Cr worth company and how a leader will help farmer forms the story.
