A few call him ‘sensational’ producer and few call him ‘blockbutser’ producer. He is Bandla Ganesh Babu aka Bandla Ganesh. Kick started his career as a production assistant to production manager to a side artiste to a comedian and today Bandla Ganesh is one of the noted producers in the Telugu Film Industry. It’s Pawan Kalyan-starrer Gabbar Singh that changed his fate in the T-town. In a detailed candid interview, Ganesh shared several information ranging from his film career to political friends to his business insights to his influence. Ganesh said he could even get a picture with US President Donald Trump in a week.
First Break:
It’s SV Krishna Reddy who gave me first break in the industry with a role in Vinodam. Thus I started as small artiste and turned into comedian, producer. I’m proud to say that am his product. I’ll touch his feet whenever I see him. Definitely, I want to produce a film under his direction on my banner. It’s not I’m helping him, but it’d be an honour to my banner. I’ve been asking him to make a film in my banner and meeting him often, he’s also interested. But we’re trying to materialise it. I’m looking for a good remake to team up with him.
Sex Film
Yes, I did a sex cinema (during struggling days). It’s Please Aunty. There’s no job that I didn’t do in industry. I did everything.
Pawan Kalyan:
Pawan is a God to me. He’s given me birth in industry as a star producer. So, how my father gave me birth, Pawan gave me life in industry. It’s my privilege to do two films with him. During the shooting of Komaram Puli, he called me to the sets. I went there unknowingly. He gave me opportunity to turn producer (Teen Maar). Since that didn’t do well, he called me and gave me second film – Gabbar Singh.
He calls me “Ye ra”, “Orey” when only we both are there. But in front of others, he calls me Ganesh. That shows his culture, nature. Pawan Kalyan is a divine force. His political career is going to be a blast. One day, he will become CM for sure. His integrity, his honesty, his commitment will make him so. God will help him. Yes he doesn’t know doing politics, doesn’t know doing scams, taking commissions or going back on promises. All he knows is serving people. He’ll prove in 2019. Wait and see.
Teen Maar is Better Than Gabbar Singh
I really don’t understand why Teen Maar didn’t work. In fact, I like Teen Maar than Gabbar Singh. May be, if it’s released again with proper editing, it might be successful.
Joint Production with Pawan Kalyan Creative Works
Parameswara Atrs and Pawan Kalyan Creative Works are jointly going to produce films. Recently met God (Pawan) and finalised it. I told him I’ll make films and he encouraged me.
Sachiin Joshi
The biggest mistake in my life is to make a film with Sachiin Joshi. I regret doing a film with him. I’m never scared of Nayeem or anyone else. No one can touch me. In fact, no one has seen my other side. People have seen only one side of me.
Jr NTR :
Baadshah incurred me loss. So during then, a few have misguided me. That distance me from Jr NTR. That’s when I made comments that NTR and I’ve differences. I publicly tender apology to NTR and all his fans. I’ve met him recently and looking forward to work with him.
Poultry:
My father had started poultry business with 1 Lakh then, today turnover of my business is 300 Crore. In Telangana, we’re the No.1 in poultry business and in India, we’re the No.2.
Politics:
I love Politics a lot. So, most of the friends in my circle are politicians. I’ll join Janasena. I will travel with Pawan Kalyan.
Influence:
Akhilesh Yadav is close friend of mine. Met him recently. He had allotted us 100 acres land for poultry development in UP. I have many friends. If I want, I could get a picture with Trump in just 7 days.
Favourite Directors:
Puri Jagannadh is my favourite director as he makes what he narrates. He wraps up film in the time frame. He’s passionate and perfect filmmaker. Trivikram Srinivas is great director.
Upcoming Films
Planning to make small & medium-budget films. Going to do a film with Srikanth Addala. I’ll launch many new directors from now onwards. I had feeling that small-budget films would incur losses. But now I realised that even small films could do well if good content is there.
Future Plans
I want to build a studio. I want to make one boy as producer and took care of my banner Parameswara Arts & my studio. I’ll make my another son to handle my poultry business.
