Telugu audiences always support good cinema - Real Star Upendra

Starring Karunada Chakravarthy Shiva Rajkumar, Real Star Upendra, and Raj B. Shetty, ‘45 The Movie’ is directed by Arjun Janya. The film is being produced on a grand scale by Smt. Uma Ramesh Reddy and M. Ramesh Reddy under the Suraj Productions banner. The Telugu version is set for a grand release through Mythri Distributors on January 1, and as part of the promotions, a pre-release event was held on Saturday.

Shiva Rajkumar said, “After Veda, I came to Hyderabad again for 45. Arjun Janya narrated the story brilliantly within just four to five minutes. The interval and climax left a strong impact on me. I advised Arjun to direct the film himself. Initially, he shot two or three scenes using animation. After watching those visuals, Ramesh garu decided to back the project. Arjun has done complete justice to the opportunity given to him.

I’m very happy that Mythri is releasing our film in Telugu. The Kannada version has already been a success. Watching this film will surely make you love and respect every living being. We don’t know how long we live on this earth, but the film teaches us to live happily for as long as we do. Satya’s cinematography and Ravi Varma’s action choreography are outstanding. Arjun Janya will become India’s number one director. This film will touch everyone’s hearts. Do watch 45 on January 1.”

Upendra stated, “I really liked the way Arjun Janya narrated the story. I know how successful he is as a music director, but while narrating this script, he enacted every character with great conviction. He first shot a scene, completed DI and dubbing, and screened it in a theatre for the producer. Only after that we began the film.

I have never seen Shivanna like this in any of his earlier films. Arjun has done a phenomenal job with the screenplay. After this movie, he will emerge as a big director. He gave me a role that no one has dared to offer me before. He may look calm in real life, but on screen he has created absolute mayhem. Telugu audiences always encourage good cinema. Please watch and support 45 on January 1.”

Director Arjun Janya acknowledged, “With 45, audiences will experience a completely new world. I have worked tirelessly on this film for three and a half years. I sincerely thank Shivanna garu and Upendra garu for giving me this opportunity. Raj B. Shetty has delivered a brilliant performance. Many thanks to Mythri Shashi garu for releasing our film—his suggestions were extremely valuable to us. Please watch and support 45 on January 1.”

Producer Ramesh Reddy said, “No matter how much we speak about 45, it will still fall short. One must watch the film to truly understand its value. The movie presents the Garuda Purana in a very powerful manner. Shivanna, Upendra, and Raj B. Shetty have all delivered outstanding performances. This is a film everyone should watch. Do come with your family and enjoy it on January 1.”

Mythri Shashi stated, “Thank you to the team for trusting us with the release of 45. The film flows in one direction until the interval, after which you will witness the true, powerful avatars of Upendra garu and Shivanna garu. The climax is a high point. Raj B. Shetty’s character will greatly impress audiences. The film carries a strong and meaningful message, and the present generation must definitely watch it. Please support 45 on January 1.”
