Tamil hero, Vishnu Vishal is known to us here in Telugu as Shutler Jwala Gutta’s husband. He is ready with his new Tamil film FIR that will also be released in Telugu. On this occasion, we caught up with him for a brief interview. Here is the transcript.
About Nani releasing the trailer of FIR?
Thanks to my wife Jwala, I have so many Telugu friends. Nani remade my film here as Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu. We are good friends since then. He watched FIR and liked it very much. He immediately agreed to release the trailer
How did you get connected with Ravi Teja to present this film?
My wife Jwala Gutta’s close friend is working with Ravi Teja Sir. She connected me to Ravi Teja Sir. I showed him the trailer of FIR and another film. He was very impressed and asked me how I choose such interesting scripts. He asked me about the plans for FIR. I told him I am interested to release the movie in Telugu. He immediately offered to release the film
About the Telugu producer Abhishek Nama?
Abhishek Nama Sir watched the Telugu final copy and liked it a lot. Jwala, in fact, wanted me to release Ratsasan in Telugu but my producer sold the remake rights. This time, I am the producer of FIR and she was hellbent on having this film released in Telugu and it is happening
Tell us about FIR?
It is related to a real incident but we took all care to ensure that it does not take any sides and be partial to any community. It will only speak facts. FIR is a film that borders good content and a commercial film. It will be a very interesting watch in theaters. I got many offers from the OTT but this is a proper theater film my heart said.
About the director Manu Anand?
Manu Anand met me through some common friends in the industry. He worked with Gautam Menon. He narrated an action-packed story first. Anything else? I asked. He told me the line of FIR and I immediately said Okay. He did not think I would give a nod to such a sensitive story. He was surprised when I said okay. It was supposed to be produced by a friend but later, I came on board as a producer as well. I am sure this film will be a big hit for me
