Before Appatlo Okadundevadu, industry perception is that Sree Vishnu wouldn’t suit for roles other than soft-roles. He was never a choice for tough roles. But post the film’s release, he has proved that the perception is wrong. He also gave a befitting counter to all his detractors with his performance.
“I’m always open to tough roles. In fact, I love roles with negative shade much. But I was given many softer roles yet I always did something different with them. Be my role in VOZ or Mental Madhilo, you’ll feel so,” says Vishnu without revealing much initially but later unveiled a big surprise at the end of the conversation.
Giving a peep into his role in his immediate film Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi that is releasing tomorrow, Vishnu says, “I play the role of hero’s childhood friend Vasu. This is very important role in the film. Vasu is innocent and loves his friends. He doesn’t tolerate anything against his friends especially against his best friend Abhiram. The film revolves around Abhiram (Ram) and Vasu. It’s their journey in college and post-college.”
Aren’t you apprehensive before choosing a hero’s friend role?
“No, I’m not. When I heard the story, I liked Vasu’s role very much. Even if I were offered the role of hero, I’d prefer hero’s friend role. This is very realistic, relatable. Audiences will recall their best friend, close friends while watching me on screen. I’m sure, my role makes more impact on viewers. And my role is equal to hero’s role in VOZ.”
How about experiments?
“I’m always ready to experiment. But this is very crucial phase of my career. So, I was told to strike a fine balance between doing experiments and having some fame to success. Both can happen but that’s a rare,” explains Vishnu. Accidentally he reveals, “I’m playing a complete negative role in Veera Bhoga Vasantharaya. You’ll be shellshocked in that role. If you’re shown my picture, you wouldn’t even recognise me until you’re told that it is me. It’s a total new look. Very weird and rugged look. It’s a very interesting role thoroughly. Hopefully, that will open doors for more roles with negative shade.”
And ask him about Mental Madhilo in which he will be playing the male lead.
“Mental Madhilo is going to be next Pelli Choopulu for sure. Already, the response for its teaser, trailer generated good buzz. I’m very confident on the film,” says Vishnu who adds before signing off that he is also ready to expand his base in Tamil provided good scripts.
