Veteran producer Allu Aravind that Sukumar wrote a wonderful story called ’18 Pages’ and thanked the star director for giving that story to Bunny Vas and making the film under their ‘Geetha Arts’ banner. Speaking at the event Sukumar said, “I wanted to become a producer during the time of ‘Jagadam’. I have one lakh rupees advance to Nikhil while I was making ‘Arya 2’. After seeing ‘Happy Days’, I predicted his success and gave him the advance. The entire credit of ’18 Pages’ should got to Surya Pratap. Coming to ‘Pushpa 2’, we have shot for five days till now.”
Allu Arjun said, “Previously, South cinema only had reach till South India. I thank Rajamouli sir for taking South movies to North India as well. Movies like ‘Pushpa’, ‘KGF’, ‘Kantara’ and ‘Karthikeya 2′ doing well across the nation gives me a lot of happiness. It is a proud feeling to see our films being watched by the entire nation.”
He added, “If not for Sukumar, my journey would not have been like this. This is why I have a lot of admiration, respect and love for him. My dad (Allu Aravind) has his own OTT platform. When the release of ’18 Pages’ is getting delayed, many advised him to release directly on small screens but he released the movie in theatres at last. I thank him for that. Gopi Sundar gave a wonderful music for this film and I thank Surya Pratap for making such a good film.”
Speaking about Nikhil, he said, ‘I have been observing Nikhil’s graph since ‘Happy Days’. He is selecting very good stories. When I asked him about it, he said that he reads a lot of books. I personally feel that an actor needs to read a lot of books and Nikhil has that habit. I am confident that the effort put in by the ’18 Pages’ team will definitely touch you”.
