Andhra King Taluka, the latest outing from Ram Pothineni, opened to positive reviews from critics. Directed by Mahesh Babu P, the film features Sandalwood star Upendra in a key role. Bhagyasri Borse is the female lead. The makers held a success meet in Hyderabad today.
Addressing the gathering, Upendra said, “I was super thrilled after hearing the subject since it was packed with solid emotions. The only concern I had was regarding the title. How could I be ‘Andhra King’? But people here welcome me with open arms whenever I come, and hence I feel like the king. Telugu audiences have a big heart. I have been getting this warm reception for the last 25 years.”
He further added, “I feel Hyderabad is my own place. I am really grateful to Mythri Movie Makers. I thank my co-actors and technicians. My fans Sagar and Mahalakshmi (referring to the lead pair’s characters) are promoting the film in the USA, but I am here. Actually, stars should be sent to the USA (laughs).”
