Writer cum Director, BVS Ravi who recently directed ‘Jawaan’ starring Sai Dharam Tej and Mehreen Pirzada in the lead roles lashed at people who are pirating the content.
‘It took 2 years to develop the story. I traveled with the hero 24 hours a day and convinced him to act in the film. With this support and crores money from the producers’ pockets, we were able to complete the film. On the same day of the release, the pirated movie CD’s are being played in buses and are available online. Why don’t you value our hard work and respect our films?
I am scared on every Friday morning. I am scared about which producer would become the victim of piracy. Out of 100 films that release in a calendar year, hardly 20 of them have a successful run. In those 20 films, only 10 films manage to generate profits. The distributors sell their properties and display the films in the theatres. Everyone from the light boy to the person working at a theatre cycle-stand, work hard to bring the film from ‘Idea’ to the ‘Screen’.
As far as I am concerned, piracy to the film industry is more dangerous than AIDS itself,’ said BVS Ravi during a special press meet. His recent directorial venture, ‘Jawaan’ is having a good run at the box office.

The film is titled as ‘Srinivasa Kalyanam’. Nithin would be playing the male lead in the film. Dil Raju feels that Pooja Hegde, who rose to fame with DJ (Duvvada Jagannadham) will be best suited for the heroine role in the film. After the production team approached Pooja Hegde, the heroine reportedly demanded 1 crore as remuneration to act in the film.
Producer Dil Raju agreed to the remuneration quoted by Pooja Hegde going by his gut feeling that she would be an asset to the film. ‘Srinivasa Kalyanam’ is slated to release in the last quarter of the next year.

The film ‘Jawaan’ starring Sai Dharam Tej and directed by BVS Ravi recently released in theatres. There were no expectations on the film largely because of the director and hero Sai Dharam Tej, who had 3 flops in a row. The film managed to create hype after it was learnt that Dil Raju and Koratala Siva are involved in the film. People expected that it would be a decent film.
Dil Raju involved himself in the shooting and also advised the director to re-shoot few important scenes. Meanwhile, it was learnt that Koratala Siva gave some valuable suggestions in key scenes of the film. The film received mixed reviews on release.
Many felt that even though the story was good, the director failed to narrate it efficiently. Interestingly, Mehreen Pirzada who is currently the ‘Lucky charm and golden leg’ in Tollywood was only limited to songs and the romantic scenes stole the show. The romantic track between Mehreen and Sai Dharam became crowd pullers, especially in the B and C centers.
With her skin show and steamy scenes in the film, Mehreen Pirzada came to the rescue of Sai Dharam Tej

The film’s heroine, Mehreen Pirzada was also seen in the interview.
Harish Shankar: Did you listen to the story after deciding to work with Ravi? Or you wanted to work after listening to the story?
Dharam Tej: Frankly, Ravi shared the story with me while I was shooting for ‘Supreme’ film in this very coffee shop. After listening to the script, I felt ‘God! Did he really write the film by himself? Or he copied it from somewhere? I told him, I would make the film. But I was busy shooting for other films at that time. So, we completed the film after a year and a half!
Ravi: I shared the story with Ravi Teja First!
‘I initially approached Ravi Teja with the script. After listening to the story, he suggested me that Sai Dharam Tej would be the apt one for this script. Ravi Anna stated that he likes Sai Dharam Tej and Nani in this generation of heroes,’ said BVS Ravi.
Harish: As a director, what would you like to tell Mega fans?
Ravi: Mega heroes venturing into the films do remake the songs of Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan. I wanted ‘songs’ to be a plus point in ‘Jawaan’. And moreover, after ‘Supreme’ Sai Dharam Tej wasn’t seen in any dance numbers. I ensured that Sai Dharam Tej displays his dance moves in every song in this film.
Harish: What is your favourite song in the film?
Ravi: Avunana… Kaadhanaa
Dharam Tej: I really liked ‘Jawaan’ theme song.
Harish: What is your take on the Villain role played by Prasanna?
Dharam Tej: The villain role played by Prasanna was really impressive. He is a very good person. He is a senior too. I was confused while shooting for few scenes. At that time Prasanna gave me few pieces of advice which helped me a lot. To be very frank, I improved my acting ability after following his advice.
Harish: Did you rope in Mehreen because of her recent films have been consecutive hits?
Ravi: I really liked Mehreen. She is very friendly. She is the golden girl of Tollywood. That’s the reason I had cast her in the film.
Harish: What made you sign on this film?
Mehreen: Director narrated the story trusting me. I agreed immediately. I don’t even know what the film is about (laughs).
Harish: How did you feel working with Sai Dharam Tej?
Mehreen: I really have no clue about dancing. Just by watching Dharam Tej, I picked up a couple of movements. I really have a tough time for the dance master during the songs.
‘Jawaan’ released today, i.e., 1st December 2017. The film received good to mixed reviews. While the acting of Sai Dharam Tej was applauded, the director was appreciated for few scenes in the film.

It is reported that the Nandamuri fans and trade analysts have no ‘hopes or expectations’ on this film. ‘The director has a bad track record recently. Even Balakrishna faced a disaster in the form of Paisavasool. Don’t know why Balakrishna agreed for the movie,’ said a trade analyst recently.
But the film’s unit is trying desperately to raise the expectations and hype of the film. The first look that was launched couple days ago seemed ‘OK’.
But the Title poster released recently is creating hype around the film. Many Nandamuri fans opinionated that Balakrishna is looking 10 years younger in the title poster, and the film would stand out as a sure-shot hit. Nayantara is acting opposite Balakrishna as the heroine.
