Aaha Kalyanam is the Southern production debut of Yash Raj Films and the debutante director Gokul Krishna says, though I'm happy and lucky to be working with YRF banner for my first movie, its a huge responsibility.
"Its a huge responsibility to live upto audiences expectations while working on the remake venture. More than nervousness, it is challenging part to work with such a big studio. I felt the responsibility to live up to the expectations and the standards of the studio. Working with YRF made me responsible," Krishna told.
Director added, “After auditioning many new faces, we've zeroed in Nani after watching 'Ala Modalaindi' and Vaani Kapoor to reprise the roles of Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma in this Band Baaja Baaraat remake. Nani has a unique charm in his act and Vaani was synonymous to her character.”
"While making the remake, I ensured that the soul of the original is not lost. We stuck to the script of the original and made small changes for Southern nativity," Gokul Krishna said.
He further added, "In a song we captured 23 different cultures. We've emphasized on the cross-cultural values through most of the film. For instance, the film is shot using a red, blue and yellow color palette," he said.
Gokul is happy with Aaha Kalyanam output and said, “Saw the first copy of Aaha Kalyanam. I'm very happy with the output. Thanks Nani and Vaani for taking pain in learning Tamil perfectly and I thank Dharan Kumar and Madhan Karky for awesome musical."
“Thanks Padam Kumar and YRF. I feel blessed to be a part of such a huge production house, thanks for having faith in me and supporting me and my dream,” he concluded.
Nani's Aaha Kalyanam releasing simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu this Friday, on 21st February.
