Amidst much anticipation, Natural Star Nani’s Hi Nanna is poised for release tomorrow in cinemas in major Indian languages. Ahead of the release, we met with Nani for a brief interview. Here is the transcription.
Could you share insights about Hi Nanna?
Hi Nanna is an emotional story with a fresh touch. Numerous moments within the film will take the audience on an emotional journey, offering a distinctive experience through portraying the father-daughter bond and more. I’m confident that everyone will find it thoroughly enjoyable.
What instilled your belief in debutant Shouryuv’s vision?
It’s not about whether the director is an enthusiastic newcomer or an expert. My decision is solely based on the quality of the narration and my personal connection to it. Shouryuv’s storytelling compelled me to accept the film swiftly, and I’m delighted with the outcome.
Share your thoughts on your on-screen daughter Kiara Khanna
Kiara is an exceptional talent. Her natural energy and enthusiasm shine through, and she effortlessly grasps and articulates Telugu dialogues and expressions.
Is there any truth to the rumour about your collaboration with Venu Yeladandi?
Venu’s directorial prowess, as seen in Balagam, is truly impressive. While nothing concrete has materialised as of now, I would be keen to work with Venu if he comes forward with a compelling story.
How did the decision to involve Hesham Abdul Wahab as the composer come about?
The choice to bring in Hesham Abdul Wahab as the composer was a collective decision from the entire team. His contributions have resulted in incredible compositions for the movie.
Do you have a preference for stories revolving around Animal-kind father-son dynamics?
Absolutely! The quality of the narration guides my inclination toward such stories.
Any future projects?
My upcoming movie is Saripodhaa Sanivaaram with Vivek Athreya, and it holds exciting details that I will share later.
