There are many action scenes in ‘Tiger Nageswara Rao’.. What is special about these?
We too were born and brought up in the Stuart Town area. We heard stories about ‘Tiger Nageswara Rao’ in our childhood. That’s how the story connects a little closer to us. Ravi Teja has also adapted this character very well. Everything fits the story well. Tiger Nageswara Rao’s action has been composed realistically.
What kind of stories did you hear about ‘Tiger Nageswara Rao’ as a child?
We have heard unimaginable things about ‘Tiger Nageswara Rao’. We used to hear very interesting things like they used to board the running train, they used to say that they would steal and they did it, they used to run on trees. Challenging and stealing is not that easy. Real heroism is seen when you see a character who tells everyone and steals and escapes. He escaped from Chennai Jail. The police gave him the title Tiger. The police giving a title to a thief is really surprising. When we have a fight, we make a lot of arrangements. Such is how Tiger Nageswara Rao was able to climb the walls of the jail so high without any help, and where that energy comes from is really surprising. If a thief becomes so popular, there is nature’s support behind it, something special. Who is the original ‘Tiger Nageswara Rao’? It is not a common thing to be recognized even by a Prime Minister.
In this, the action has been composed very realistically. We composed some action scenes in the cashew plantations in the Sarala area where he lived. We have worked with Ravi Teja in many films. ‘Tiger Nageswara Rao’ gave us a new experience. In this, the audience will feel every action episode as real. Ravi Teja worked very hard.
