Your announcement of DSP as a music director for this new film on the occasion of completion eight years of Gabbar Singh also created a new controversy. He was to compose music for ‘Gaddhalakonda Ganesh’ as well but it didn’t work out. He had given the best music for our ‘DJ’. Our film will not touch upon politics but the story will reflect his image and his ideology undercurrent. With ‘Kushi’ itself, he had acquired that image though he was not a politician. But now he is president of the Jana Sena party and has a different image? When you’d directed ‘Gabbar Singh’, he didn’t float a political party. Pawan Kalyan has okayed this story based on the characterization of his role that I narrated. I wrote ‘Gabbar Singh’ as a fan of Pawan Kalyan and I am aware of what things fans would expect from me. Can we expect more punch dialogues now?Īll I can say, the dialogues will be remembered for a long time. Plus, ‘Gabbar Singh’ had memorable dialogue writing. You are known for writing powerful dialogues. In ‘Gabbar Singh’, Pawan Kalyan played a cop. Thus I went to meet him and narrated a basic storyline, which Pawan Kalyan liked it and gave nod.

Producer Naveen garu (Mythri Movie Makers) had plans of producing a film with Pawan Kalyan. How did you get the chance to direct Pawan Kalyan after a gap of eight years? Did you approach him or he called you up? Work is underway but modalities are yet to be finalized. Besides that, director Krish and I have collaborated to produce, pen, and direct a couple of web dramas. Due to lockdown, I am working on the script of Pawan Kalyan’s movie. The thing that we do between two projects is also working (Memu Work ki work Madhya chese pani kooda pane). ‘Quarantine’ has now become a buzzword but much before the lockdown was imposed we have been doing the same.

We called up the director to find out what he was up to during the lockdown, and the director spoke on various issues. Harish Shankar is also an avid reader, has a taste for music. Not one to mince words, the director of ‘Gabbar Singh’ and ‘Duvvada Jagannadham’ puts his views forth effectively. Like the powerful dialogues that we hear in his movies, director Harish Shankar delivers ‘quotable’ catchphrases in his interviews. Then why would I hide if I was present at the ceremony.” “Dil Raju garu didn’t hide the fact he’s getting married again. “It is an honor to remake a movie that I like rather than ‘free’making it.”
