Stylish Star Allu Arjun’s debut film Gangotri has been surprising to many as Arjun’s looks were heavily criticized. The inside news is that at one-time, producer Allu Aravind too didn’t want the movie to hit the screens as he’s afraid that the movie would ‘ruin’ Bunny’s chances in Tollywood ‘forever’. According to none other than director K. Raghavendra Rao, a preview show of Gangotri had been screened for producer Aravind’s close friends and relatives ahead of its release.
Most of his friends and relatives didn’t like the film and told him in privy that the movie would be big ‘minus’ for Arjun if it’s released and would be ‘dampener’ for his prospects in industry. In fact, Allu Aravind too convinced with it, and had wanted to halt the movie release at one point. Coming to know Aravind’s plans through common friend, Raghavendra Rao was deeply upset with it. And asked Aravind what didn’t he like it in film? Aravind shared that the movie was not so engaging enough although he didn’t point out any mistakes.
Hurt with this, KRR had asked Aravind that how come he liked the film’s story when he had narrated before filming? Aravind reiterated that he had liked the story but somehow not convinced with the film. Much to everyone’s shock KRR had again narrated the story to producer Allu Aravind after complete shooting of the film. Later on producers Aravind and Aswini Dutt released the film and the movie turned out to be hit.
Even Raghavendra Rao credited the movie’s success to music composer MM Keeravani as he still feels that the movie was a runaway hit only because of its music. All in all, Raghavendra Rao said that direction wasn’t never easy even after directing as many films as 99 and each film is a learning experience. Raghavendra Rao himself revealed this interesting yet inside story on Gangotri and Allu Arjun.
