Krishna Vamsi Opens Up About Ranga Marthanda

Krishna Vamsi is one of the celebrated actors in Telugu cinema. Gulabi, Ninne Pelladata, Khadgam, and Murari are some of the hit films he directed. Now, he's staging a comeback with Ranga Marthanda. The film is the remake of Marathi's film, Natsamrat. Speaking to the Times of India, Krishna Vamsi said, "It wasn’t planned. This is my second remake after Chandralekha, which was based on a Malayalam film of the same name. Prakash Raj bought the rights for the Marathi film Natsamrat, which is adapted from a stage play of the same name by Jnanpith Award recipient Kusumagraj. He thought he couldn’t do justice if he directed it himself. He asked me to help him out. I took the nucleus of the original but rewrote the screenplay. So it’s as good as new."

Explaining the story of the film, Krishna Vamsi said, "It’s about family; the generation gap between parents and children; how today’s sensibilities and attitudes in our social fabric are eating us up, and how we tend to lose our souls in pursuit of success. It’s an engaging family film with a marvelous background score and songs by Ilaiyaraaja. It will also feature a three-and-a-half-minute Telugu Shayari by Chiranjeevi Garu, which pays tribute to actors’ lives." After Ranga Marthanda, Krishna Vamsi will start his work on Annam, which revolves around the food mafia. He also expressed his interest in doing a web series. More details about his upcoming projects will be out soon.
