Director Gunasekhar’s “Chudalani Vundi” was a major blockbuster, with Chiranjeevi in the lead role and Ashwani Dutt as the producer. Although the film didn’t achieve a solid hit, it was still a super hit due to its Calcutta background and unique love story. One particular scene in the movie, where Anjala Jhaveri waits for Chiranjeevi at the railway station, has become iconic and is still remembered by fans today.
Recently, Gunasekhar spoke about the making of this scene in an interview, stating that it was a challenge to film a love scene without any dialogue. The scene was heavily inspired by Pawan Kalyan’s “Tholi Prema,” which was a youth-centric romantic drama that had become a huge hit. However, Gunasekhar wanted to make this scene even more youthful and impactful than Pawan Kalyan’s.
He meticulously planned out the entire scene, with 18 pages of screenplay detailing each movement and camera angle. Chiranjeevi was initially skeptical about the idea, but he trusted Gunasekhar and gave his approval for the shoot. Gunasekhar wanted to shoot the scene in natural locations, so he chose Nampally and Kachiguda railway stations as the settings.
Shooting the scene without any dialogue for ten minutes was a daunting task, and Gunasekhar had to control the crowd of fans that had gathered to see Chiranjeevi. Producer Ashwani Dutt even had to use a stick to manage the enthusiastic crowd. Despite all the challenges, the scene came out beautifully and still feels fresh to this day.
Overall, the making of this iconic scene was a challenging and rewarding experience for Gunasekhar and his team. It required a lot of hard work, dedication, and creativity, but the final product was worth it. Fans of Chiranjeevi and Telugu cinema still remember this scene fondly, and it remains one of the most beloved moments in the history of Telugu cinema.
