Considering the situation, it is good that Tuck Jagadish is releasing on Amazon Prime Video. It plays a big role in where I am and what I am today. I never worry about the film’s outcome or the reviews, I just want to see a theatre houseful. I used to go five minutes late so nobody notices me. Even after I became an actor, I watch my films in theatres. All the madness and craze for cinema started there. And you will see me in theatres every Friday. Every Friday, there will be a new release. I used to live near Satyam theatre in Ameerpet in Hyderabad. Theatres are the reason why I am in cinema today. Nani: It is one place where I want to be. Q: To Nani, we have heard you speak about the theatrical experience so passionately. There is a little bit of me in every character I play. Most of the characters that I play are relatable. You pick up something and it stays in the back of your head. You see these people around you or in films. He gave me a lot of inputs throughout the shoot. Ritu: Honestly, Shiva garu helped me a lot. Q: To Ritu, what kind of preparation went into your role? Through this film, I got to experience so much. Me, being a city girl, I never got an opportunity to go to small towns. Ritu: I think Shiva garu wanted to keep it very authentic, which is why he chose to shoot in actual locations. We were all worried, but we were careful. We shot in Palani, Pollachi in Tamil Nadu, and Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh with thousands of people. I don’t think anyone in the world will forget these two years, for whatever reasons they have. The entire journey was memorable as we shot this film through the Covid-19 pandemic. Nani: A lot of moments during filming were memorable. I am hoping that I reach a particular section of people through this film. I really liked the character that I played in the film. This is altogether a different film with a proper mix of everything. Can we call Tuck Jagadish your big commercial film? Q: To Ritu, you have been carefully picking your scripts. He is a vulnerable guy and that’s what makes it interesting. I personally don’t believe that boys shouldn’t cry. It is not good for the village or the home.” There is a certain sincerity to it. When the title card runs, you hear Jagadish’s father say, “Men shouldn’t cry and he shouldn’t make a woman cry. There is a scene where he breaks down towards the end. His father teaches him, which makes him believe the statement. Nani: Jagadish believes that men cannot cry. Q: Your character Jagadish believes men shouldn't cry. Tuck Jagadish has emotions at its core and I thought working with him will do wonders. You won’t think it’s a fictional set-up and you will understand the emotions and relationships. Everything happens within the story, which is more relatable. There is no song or separate track that happens parallelly. With Tuck Jagadish, Shiva did not follow the template. We get action scenes, dance sequences and comedy scenes. In commercial films, we follow a template. Nani: That’s what I liked about the film.
What was the selling point for you when Shiva Nirvana narrated the script? Q: To Nani, Tuck Jagadish is a commercial film, yet is high on emotions.
