00:00Speaker 1 – Vanakkam.
00:03I am very happy to meet all of you in person.
00:07I have to say, first of all Chennai is very special to me.
00:11The best memories I have with my mother are all in Chennai.
00:16The love you have for them is the reason why my family and I are in this position today.
00:25I have always been indebted to you for that.
00:29If you give me the same love, I will believe you.
00:36And I promise I will work very, very, very hard for it.
00:39Devra is very special to me.
00:41I think this whole team here on the stage today has given this film our very best.
00:45And I really hope from the bottom of my heart that you enjoy what we have made.
00:51And it's time for our rock star to set the stage on fire.
00:58We can't make the rock star stand on the podium and talk.
01:01So, first of all, tell us how special Devra Part 1 is to you.
01:05Hello everyone.
01:06Good evening.
01:07Thanks for coming everyone.
01:09The reason why Devra Part 1 is so special to me is that I have been planning to make a film with Tara for a long time.
01:16Even before this film started, her fans had started a Twitter account saying,
01:21We want Anirudh for NTR 30.
01:26That's where the journey of this film started.
01:29The first time I met Shiva sir, he gave me an idea.
01:34He gave me an idea before I heard the story.
01:36This is the concept of the film.
01:38So, this concept is very...
01:41We never thought of it that way.
01:43He had thought of a fear from a different angle.
01:48That itself was very interesting.
01:50So, of course...
01:51And I didn't make many films in Telugu.
01:53This is my fourth film in 12-13 years.
01:56But we have received a lot of love from there.
01:59Even our Tamil songs have received a lot of love.
02:01So, this Devra is definitely...
02:05I think it will run well in Tamil too.
02:08Because when I finish the background score of the film,
02:11This is a hardcore action drama film.
02:14At the same time, this is a new setting.
02:16This is a new geography.
02:17This is a new world.
02:19When Tara Khanna's mass was added to that world,
02:23When it was added to Shiva sir's great writing,
02:26Of course, thank you to our producer who is releasing the film here,
02:30Sabu sir,
02:31All legends here actually, Randy sir,
02:33Kalaipuram has acted well.
02:35In Telugu, his performance will be like a straight Telugu actor.
02:39Ram Jo sir,
02:40For the lyrics,
02:41First of all, thank you for the success of these songs.
02:44Ram Jo sir has made all the songs in Telugu.
02:48Vishnu Edavan and Vicky both have written.
02:52Thank you, Randy sir.
02:53Last two things,
02:55One thing about Shiva sir,
02:56Why this experience was so good for me,
03:00Every time when I meet him,
03:02He creates an environment.
03:05We have to deliver the best there.
03:07He is so warm.
03:09He speaks so freely.
03:11This is a super collaborative effort.
03:13I am the director.
03:14You are the music director.
03:16It's not like that.
03:17Whatever we feel,
03:18We can talk to him.
03:19About the film,
03:20About the song,
03:21We can talk about anything.
03:22He will take everything.
03:23He will give us an explanation.
03:24He will give us a reason.
03:25If not,
03:26He will listen to what we say and change it.
03:28So,
03:29It's an awesome collaborative effort.
03:30When you see the trailer, teaser,
03:32You will know how much work has been done.
03:35Because,
03:36When you see the frames,
03:37How did they take it?
03:38In underwater,
03:39For so long,
03:40In the film,
03:41The whole film,
03:42On sea,
03:43How is this possible?
03:44Especially,
03:45How is this possible from a South Indian film?
03:46We all thought about it.
03:48But,
03:49All the hard work,
03:51It's not just hard work.
03:53We enjoyed all the hard work,
03:55In this film.
03:57And,
03:58Of course,
03:59Last but not the least,
04:00Tara Khanna,
04:01I think,
04:02In Hyderabad,
04:03She is my best friend.
04:07Her energy and my energy,
04:09Match very well.
04:10Actually,
04:11When we meet,
04:12Shiva sir and I,
04:14When we meet,
04:15Shiva sir has a hard time.
04:16Because,
04:17He will be in a different energy,
04:18And I will be in a different energy.
04:19So,
04:20Shiva sir is the one who balances us.
04:22He is a superb person.
04:24He always speaks very politely to me.
04:29I can't say it out loud,
04:30He speaks very politely.
04:33And,
04:34I am his elder brother,
04:35So,
04:36Anything I can always confide in him.
04:37And,
04:38In this film,
04:39Why is he such a great actor?
04:40I think,
04:41Why do I think so?
04:43Because,
04:44When he feels on the screen,
04:45We also feel it.
04:46When he shows his fury on the screen,
04:50We also feel that fury and rage.
04:53So,
04:54In this film,
04:55Especially in Devaraj,
04:56It is a new world.
04:57That character is a very difficult character.
04:59He has nailed that.
05:01I have the confidence,
05:03That this will definitely run well.
05:05Being the music director.
05:06Because,
05:07Actually,
05:08Everyone is already watching the film,
05:09Working on the film,
05:10Shooting the film.
05:11But,
05:12The first audience is the music director.
05:14So,
05:15Me and our team,
05:168-10 boys,
05:17We are watching the film.
05:18After watching the film,
05:19We are so happy,
05:20To be part of this film.
05:21Very proud to be part of this film.
05:23And,
05:24They are already saying,
05:25In the US,
05:26There is a huge pre-sale collection.
05:29But,
05:30As far as I know,
05:31Not only in Andhra and Telangana,
05:34I pray that this will run well here too.
05:37We need all your support.
05:39Thank you,
05:40First of all,
05:41Thanks for coming.
05:42Thanks.
05:43Thanks.
05:44Take care.
