00:00It tells you you're not a big deal buddy. You know don't think too much about yourself.

00:08Well it's based on the NIA activities, National Investigative Activities in India

00:14and their investigation on certain blasts that happened in India in Hyderabad and you know during

00:21that time the twin blasts in Hyderabad and the German bakery blast. So it is based on that we

00:27took it from them. It's not about the blasts but it's about the investigation.

00:31This movie also deals with a very you know very relevant subject like topical like terrorism

00:38across the world is feared. We try to combat it but it's something we can't be ignored. Did it

00:43disturb you as an actor to be a part of a narrative that is that happened people lost lives

00:49was it disturbing? How did you distance yourself and gain a bit of perspective?

00:55You know fortunately we didn't get into that part of the film because we're not going, we don't

01:01see, show you dead bodies, people lying around, blasted, limbs severed. We don't show you that.

01:08It is four days after the blast, four, five days after. The NIA teams comes for looking for clues

01:16and then how they trace the clues back in this thing but it is, it brings back memories because

01:24I am from Hyderabad and I remember the twin blast. It shook the whole city up. It was the first time

01:32a bombing had happened in Hyderabad and so many people had died. It was very traumatic,

01:37stressful and all that and it yes it brought back those unpleasant memories.

01:43How did COVID affect your being perhaps? Like did it teach you to just perhaps take it easy in

01:49life, slow down, it's okay you don't need to be that relevant as long as you're alive?

01:57No, I didn't think like that. It made me value my work so much that you cannot take life also

02:04life don't take it for granted a small little unseen virus you don't even know how it looks

02:10like can stop a whole world to a screeching halt and it tells you you're not a big deal buddy

02:18you know don't think too much about yourself. You can be stopped like that and so that made me

02:26value the things what I have around very much. Do you feel that sense of responsibility to

02:32revive theatre scene? Not really, maybe I played a little safe also. I waited for a few cinemas to

02:38release and waited for the theatres to revive and Telugu films they are coming if the film is good

02:45our people are coming and all I can say is stay safe, do that, wear a mask and you're set.
