Stone Media Films, today announced the production of a romantic comedy film on millennials in Telugu. The film is yet to be titled and the working title for the film is ‘Project Victory’. It is a romantic comedy for the millennials set in an office environment. Millennials are people born during the mid-90s and early 2000s. They believe in chasing their dreams and standing out, instead of fitting in. The parental influence is far lower now and millennials are confident, motivated and goal oriented to take their own decisions and navigate the ever-changing complex world. They know how to balance love with career, are adequately motivated and are sufficiently endowed with the knowledge to make their own decisions.
The classic conflict of career vs love has been picked and explored for its nuances. The situations and conflicts are relatable and loaded with fun and emotions. Every character has its own purpose and goal to take the story forward. The conflicts arise when their purpose and goals are challenged by situations.
This movie has an uber-cool feel and stays current with today’s world. The film drama is authentic and appeals to the heart and mind. There are five songs in the film, each with a different genre of music; where the lyrics complements the genre of music and the story. Sufficient emphasis has been given on the lyrics, tonality and the purpose of the songs in the film.
Details: North Star Entertainment Private Limited, owned by Sharrath Marar is presenting the film. Akella Peri Srinivas is the director and Sharath Guravugari is the cinematographer.
Sharrath Marar said, “Akella Peri Srinivas (AP, as he is generally known) has written a super funny and interesting romantic comedy, the likes of which have never been seen or read. It is set in a corporate environment where the protagonists have to balance their career and love. Glad to present it. We at North Star,think this will become a never-before seen series with some really crazy characters. The music will surely a huge draw and with Sharat Guruvugari handling cinematography, the film will be a visual treat too.”
Akella Peri Srinivas said, “I believe movie making is all about story telling. During the journey, I realized all the core emotions viz. Joy, Trust, Fear, Surprise, Sadness, Disgust, Anger, and Anticipation have been there since ages. However, the stimulus to these emotions earlier were different and the same emotions are triggered by a different stimuli now. Coming from a corporate background, I have personally seen and experienced a lot of these emotions. So, I explored these core emotions in this current environment with the millennials and picked up an office as a backdrop. The entire subject has been dealt in a fun and entertaining manner. The film will be visually rich, musically pleasing, accompanied with an excellent style.”
Sharat Guruvugari said, “When I read the script, I found that the story has been written in an engaging manner. At the pre-production stage, the level of detailing has given me the director’s view on how the film will be presented. I am convinced that there are some fantastic elements of cinematography that can be explored in this film. The story backdrop and the travel of the film lends to using interesting cinematography techniques.”
