Hyderabad:
He
made
successful
Telugu
romantic
films
such
as
Jayam,
Chitram
and
Nuvvu
Nenu.
However,
cinematographer-turned-director
Dharma
Teja
has
moved
away
from
his
favourite
theme
as
his
upcoming
film
1000
Abaddalu
is
based
on
an
ancient
Telugu
legend.
The
makers
of
the
film
have
recently
unleashed
its
posters
on
internet.
Talking
to
IANS,
Dharma
Teja
said,
"I
wouldn't
say
I
have
given
up
on
the
idea
of
romance.
I
will
revisit
it
in
the
future,
but
currently
I'm
busy
concentrating
on
my
upcoming
film
based
on
a
proverb
with
regards
to
Indian
weddings.
The
proverb
says
that
to
materialise
a
marriage,
one
can
tell
1000
lies." He
added,
"What
happens
when
one
of
the
characters
decides
to
use
the
proverb
literally?
This
forms
the
rest
of
the
story."
Dharma
Teja,
who
understands
the
taste
of
Telugu
audience
well,
says
that
he
has
tried
out
something
different
from
the
regular
kind
of
films
in
his
upcoming
movie
1000
Abaddalu.
The
director
said,
"Audiences
are
looking
for
different
kind
of
films,
and
as
a
filmmaker
I
need
to
respect
that.
Following
the
response
to
my
last
film,
I
set
out
to
do
something
off
the
beaten
path."
However,
Dharma
Teja's
last
directorial
venture
Neeku
Naaku
Dash
Dash,
which
was
a
teen-romantic
thriller,
was
a
disaster
at
the
Box
Office.
Now,
the
director
has
pinned
a
lot
of
hopes
on
1000
Abaddalu.
It
should
be
seen
whether
his
latest
outing
will
impress
the
film
goers
and
turn
out
to
be
a
big
money
spinner
at
the
ticket
windows.
