Dilruba film director Viswa Karun said ‘Dilruba film offers a unique take on the love story genre and the audience will witness that uniqueness in the love story.’  

Dilruba film set for a grand theatrical release on March 14, in celebration of the Holi festival. Director Viswa Karun interacted with the media on Saturday and shared the highlights of the movie.

Director said ‘I studied in my hometown of Tadepalligudem and Bhimavaram. I have had an interest in movies since childhood, regularly watching films in theaters. I also have a deep passion for reading books. The stars and films I saw on screen inspired me to take steps toward the film industry. Through a friend, I began doing writing side work for a film called Naladamayanti, which, unfortunately, did not make it to production. Afterward, I worked on the movie Jaguar, written by Vijayendra Prasad, and also contributed to the writing department under Dil Raju's banner. During this journey, I went to Kiran Abbavaram with a story idea. Though he didn’t like the first story I pitched, he appreciated how I told it. He encouraged me to try again with a better subject. Eventually, I pitched the story for Dilruba, and Kiran immediately agreed, saying, ‘Brother, we are doing this movie.’ That’s how Dilruba went into production.’

‘In Western culture, we have quickly adopted words like ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you,’ but in Telugu, asking for forgiveness is harder. A hero doesn’t need to apologize for something that isn’t his fault. A personality like that can cause trouble for those around him. In Dilruba, the character of Sidhu, played by Kiran, doesn’t compromise on his beliefs. He faces difficulties in life because he remains true to his personality. After breaking up with the girl he loves, Sidhu treats his ex-lover as an enemy. But before love, there was friendship, and even after the breakup, that friendship can still exist. There’s nothing wrong in reaching out to check if your ex is doing okay. This is one of the elements we explore in Dilruba. I want to clarify that Dilruba has no connection to the recently released Dragon movie. While all love stories are similar, the way we present them on screen should feel fresh. Dilruba offers a unique take on the love story genre,’ Director said.
