Directed by Sreekanth Addala, is a remake of the Tamil movie Asuran, a story that revolves around an intense rivalry, Venky will be seen as a humble farmer, loving father, devoted husband and the extent he goes to protect his family.
Vetri Maaran did a fine job and Dhanush was fantastic in original Tamil Asuran, I have done many remake movies, while doing remakes, I ensure that everyone from my producer to the audience are happy. I relished reprising both Dhanush in ‘Narappa’ and Mohanlal in ‘Drishyam 2’ and glad to have endeavoured a very strong character after so many years like the one in ‘Narappa’.
Narappa is a very rustic movie filled with strong emotions. The whole unit of Narappa worked towards making an authentic and truthful remake.
My performance is going to move the audience, says the Actor Venkatesh.
Recently, the Narappa team released their first lyrical song on YouTube kickstarting the promotions for the movie, the #OoNarappa lyrical song Sung by Aditya Iyengar and Nutana Mohan, the song ‘Chalaaki Chinnammi’ has gained 1 million plus views already giving that required positive vibes to the movie.
Jointly produced by Suresh Babu and Kalaipuli S Thanu, music by Mani Sharma, Priya Mani, Karthik Rathnam Rajeev Kanakala, Aadukalam Naren and Ammu Abirami playing very important roles along with Venkatesh.
On a closing note, the Actor says Covid has taught us that we can’t take anything for granted, things are not in our control. Gaining inner strength is very important during this time. Be silent, meditate a lot, spread positivity, show gratitude, and wish well for everybody. Everybody wishing well for the universe will have positive consequences.
Even Tamil film watcher have appreciated Venky’s performance. One of them after watching the trailer wrote -As a tamilian, I’m so impressed with venkatesh and team doing justice to the original Asuran movie. I feel the original essence in Narappa. All the best team!
