Bellamkonda
Srinivas,
who
concentrated
on
playing
to
the
gallery
in
his
debut
film
Alludu
Seenu,
says
he
has
raised
the
bar
with
his
performance
in
his
forthcoming
film
Speedunnodu.
"I've
tried
something
unique
with
this
project.
Though
it
has
all
the
commercial
elements,
there
are
some
solid
moments
in
the
film
where
I've
pushed
myself
as
an
actor
and
I'm
sure
audiences
will
appreciate
it," said
Srinivas.
He
believes
the
last
20
minutes
of
the
film,
which
is
a
remake
of
Tamil
drama
"Sundarapandian",
will
unleash
the
actor
within.
"The
climax
portion
which
lasts
about
20
minutes
will
leave
the
viewers
in
awe.
Even
in
the
original,
the
climax,
which
was
the
heart
of
the
film,
moved
audiences
to
tears.
We've
made
the
climax
even
more
powerful,"
he
added.
The
climax
was
shot
in
a
quarry
in
Kurnool.
"We
shot
for
nearly
10
days
in
some
extreme
weather
condition.
All
of
us
drained
in
the
sun
on
several
occasions.
Since
it
had
to
be
shot
realistically,
I
worked
really
hard,"
he
said,
and
added
that
the
film
does
have
the
perquisite
elements
to
appeal
to
the
masses.
"This
is
the
kind
of
project
where
there's
scope
for
performance.
Even
the
action,
unlike
how
it
was
shot
in
my
first
film,
has
been
treated
sensibly
in
this
film.
While
the
first
half
will
entertain
audiences
with
comedy
and
romance,
the
second
half
will
sweep
them
over,"
Srinivas
said.
Directed
by
Bhimaneni
Srinivasa
Rao,
the
film
also
stars
Sonarika
Bhadoria,
Prakash
Raj,
Ali,
Kabir
Duhan
Singh
and
Srinivas
Reddy
in
important
roles.
Talking
about
working
with
the
director,
Srinivas
said:
"Most
of
his
remakes
have
been
a
frame-to-frame
replica
of
the
original.
However,
I
really
liked
'Sudigadu' where
he
changed
so
much
to
suit
the
Telugu
sensibilities."
"We've
made
70
percent
changes
in
the
remake;
however
retained
the
soul.
Our
version
is
more
commercial
than
the
original,"
he
said.
He
will
next
team
up
with
filmmaker
Boyapati
Srinu.
"He
told
me
he's
writing
a
script
for
me.
I'm
not
in
a
hurry;
will
wait
to
work
with
him,"
he
said.
