Jagadguru Aadishankara Sucessmeet

J K Bharavi’s ‘Sri Jagadguru Aadi Shankara’ with Nara Jaya Sridevi as producer under Global Peace Creator banner was released on August 15th. Today a success meet was organised by the film unit at Film Chamber in Hyderabad.

Dasari Narayana Rao attended this success meet. He said, “Films of this genre are very rare. I’m sure this movie would have become another ‘Shankarabharanam’ if it was released at that time. Off late one can’t expect films like ‘Thatha Manavadu’, ‘Swargam Narakam’, ‘Seetaramayya Gari Manavaralu’ and ‘Shankarabharam’ to run in theaters more than a week due to lack of availability of theaters. The latest trend for a hit movie is double meaning dialogues, exposing, five fights, six songs and jokes. I really appreciate producer jaya Sridevi for making an attempt to make a great movie like ‘Sri Jagadguru Aadi Shankara’. Similarly she made a beautiful devotional film ‘Manjunatha’ even with a hero like Chiranjeevi. After completing a schedule J K Bharavi came up to me, narrated the story and requested me to complete it. Even though I liked the story, I told him that I’ve never under taken any project that one has started, hence asked him to complete by himself for which I lent my moral support. After watching the film I felt that he is the apt choice as a director. It’s not an easy task to do such films. Many greats have acted in this film. Every character is unique in its own way. Unlike other directors who would have definitely made the producer spend more than Rs 80 crores, Bharavi did this film within a limited budget. Kaushik was aptly suitable for the title role. Similarly I never expected Sreeramachadra to perform so well. Music was perfect too. The film did Rs 1 cr 25 lakhs business at overseas which is appreciable. Good days for all is likely to come soon. ‘Aadi Shankara’ is a must watch film. I take this opportunity to congratulate the director, producers, artists and technicians of the film.”

J K Bharavi said, “There is good response from audience right from the release day. My guru Dasari garu’s watched the film and gave an expression which had made me forget all the hard work I did in 3 ½ years.”
Producer Nara Jayasridevi said, “The success of this film has given me good energy. There is good response at overseas too. I consider this as a very huge success and thank the audience for it.”

N Shankar said, “Director Bharavi carved the movie so well that after watching the film it gave me a feeling of drinking honey for 2 ½ hrs. Kaushik’s performance is fabulous. This is a must watch film for everyone. Music is special attraction.”

Kaushik, Sriramachandra and Nag Srivatsav also expressed their happiness over the movie’s success.
