After a debacle like ‘Soukhyam’, action hero Gopichand took a long break and is hoping to bounce back with his upcoming film ‘Goutham Nanda’. His film is getting ready for release and let us see what he has to say on his about ‘Goutham Nanda’.
What importance do you think this film would hold in your career?
This film holds a lot of significance as it had been long since any of my film came out. I’ve seen the film and I am pretty confident that everyone would like my performance in this film.
Tell us about your role in this film.
The film is all about how Ghattamaneni Goutham becomes Goutham Nanda. I had to sport a different look for this film. We had discussed with my stylist over this and my look came out very well in this film. I myself was surprised with my look. I could have done this a lot earlier which could have helped my other flicks too.
How was it working with Sampath Nandi?
He is very clear and executed to the film better than what he had narrated. He never improvised anything on sets and even presented me in a new manner. I feel this film is his best work.
About over budget of this film.
No. They are just baseless rumours and in fact, my producers had already entered into profits. Even distributors will be happy with this film as it would definitely make profits for them too.
What do you have to say about your career?
In fact, my career went through some rough phase recently. There were some wrong moves and somethings didn’t go as planned. That is why I had a gap over the last year and I am confident that this film would bring be back on track.
Are you restricting yourself to action genre?
I think it is my strong zone and should cater to it. I will not leave the action part and even if it is a love story, there needs to be ample dose of action in it.
Tell us about your film ‘Oxygen’.
There is still some part of shooting left and things are not under my control. I cannot guarantee you about its release.
What do you have to say about the recent drug issue?
I think the film industry is heavily targeted. I am worried about the usage of drugs by today’s youth. The steps taken by the government is commendable as they are trying to erase it from the school stage itself.
About your next film.
I am listening to some scripts and haven signed anything yet. I don’t to take everything that comes my way and drown my career. I am trying to plan my career carefully.
