Hyderabad:
Telugu
director
Sekhar
Kammula
knows
what
he
wants
from
his
actors
and
often
cans
scenes
in
two
takes,
says
southern
actor
Vaibhav
Reddy,
who
has
teamed
up
with
the
National
award-winning
filmmaker
for
upcoming
Tamil-Telugu
thriller
Anamika,
a
remake
of
Bollywood
film
Kahaani.
"He
will
not
shoot
scenes
in
more
than
two
takes.
He
tells
actors
what
he
exactly
wants
before
and
after
every
scene.
This
allows
the
actors
not
to
waste
time
from
going
through
same
scenes
over
and
over
again," Vaibhav
told
IANS.
"Time
flies
when
one
is
working
with
Sekhar,"
the
actor
added.
"I
can't
believe
it's
nearly
45
days
since
we
started
shooting
and
we
have
almost
completed
80
percent
of
the
film.
Everybody
is
so
busily
engrossed
in
the
film
that
nobody
realised
time
has
gone
by
so
quickly,"
he
added.
Vaibhav,
who
reprises
the
role
of
police
officer
Rana,
originally
played
by
Parambrata
Chatterjee,
says
his
screen
presence
has
been
extended.
"He
(Sekhar)
has
given
me
extended
screen
presence
and
has
written
the
role
in
a
way
to
suit
the
nativity
of
Telugu
audiences,"
said
Vaibhav,
who
adds
that
the
genre
of
the
film
doesn't
matter
as
long
as
it's
different.
"Audiences
here
are
always
open
to
different
films.
Even
small
films
like
Prema
Katha
Chitram
have
turned
out
to
be
successful
because
of
the
same
factor.
I
don't
think
genre
of
a
film
really
matters
anymore
as
long
as
audiences
are
entertained,"
he
said.
Known
for
his
performances
in
films
such
as
Saroja,
Goa
and
Mankatha,
Vaibhav
says
Anamika
is
not
a
frame-to-frame
copy
of
Kahaani.
"Sekhar
has
tweaked
it
a
little
keeping
in
mind
the
core
audiences.
The
subtle
use
of
situational
comedy
will
definitely
be
one
of
the
highlights
of
the
film,"
he
said.
The
film
features
Nayanthara
in
the
role
of
Vidya
Bagchi,
which
was
played
by
Vidya
Balan
in
Kahaani.
Anamika
also
features
Harshvardhan
Rane
and
Tamil
actor
Pasupathy
in
important
roles.
It
is
jointly
produced
by
Endemol
India,
Logline
Productions
and
Select
Media
Holdings.
MM
Keeravani
is
composing
the
music
for
the
film,
which
is
set
for
a
Dussehra
release.
