Actor Sumanth Shailendra Babu, who was last seen in the movie Bhale Jodi, is making a comeback to the silver screen after a gap of nearly three years. In a candid conversation with
Bangalore Times
, the actor talks about his upcoming release Govinda Govinda, the challenges he faced being a producer’s son, working in the
Telugu film industry
and more. Excerpts:
Tell us about your role in the movie Govinda Govinda I play a boy-next-door, college-going guy, who is careless and a little childish. How he gets into trouble while trying to help a girl who is in crisis forms the crux of the story. It is a comedy and suspense film, which will make a fun watch for the audience. After Tirupathi Express, I wanted to do a
comedy film
, so I agreed to be part of Govind Govinda project. A major portion of the movie has been shot at Vijayapura. We will soon start shooting for the song sung by All OK. It’s a peppy number. The movie has also got a U certificate. We are waiting for cinema halls to reopen to release the movie.
You’re the son of well-known film producer Shailendra Babu. Has your journey in the industry been easy or challenging? My father has been in the industry for more than 30 years, and he has produced over 20 films. People tend to compare me with other actors. My father’s advice to me before I made my
debut
with the movie Dilwala was that I should be well-versed with acting and dancing skills, as well as stunts.
You made your Telugu debut with Brand Babu
. How has been the experience there? My first Telugu movie Brand Babu got a good response from the audiences. I would love to be part of projects in different languages.
Tell us about your other projects I have finished shooting for the movie Miss India, which has
Keerthy Suresh in the lead role. The film has an interesting storyline, and it is likely to be released on a
OTT
platform in both Telugu and Tamil.
