While the storytelling in the first half of ‘Saptha Sagaradache Ello’ was characterized by its elegance, the Side B releasing in four prominent languages (Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam) on November 17, is enriched with mass appeal.
In a pre-release gathering at MMB Legacy, the team behind SSE’s Side B, led by director Hemanth Rao, cinematographer Advaitha Gurumurthy, CEO of Paramvah Studios Srini Shetty, and actors Rakshit Shetty, Rukmini Vasanth, Chaitra Achar, Ramesh Indira, JP, and Ullas, interacted with the media. The event featured a screening of the movie trailer and the song “Olave Olave” before the formal address.
According to CEO Srini Shetty, the film, which he watched a month ago, boasts a significant mass appeal. He believes that Rakshit Shetty’s impressive transformation is sure to captivate a broader audience.
Ramesh Indira expressed his thoughts, noting that the shift from Blue to Red in the film symbolizes its journey and contains intriguing elements. Rakshit Shetty, maintaining his innocence, delivers something distinct.
Talented actor Chaitra Achar, a newcomer to the Side B, mentioned that she portrayed her role as per director Hemanth Rao’s guidance.
Rukmini Vasanth, known now as ‘Putti’ experienced a moment of pride in her career with the Side A, eagerly awaits the reactions to her performance in the second part. She is thrilled to be part of the film.
Hemanth Rao, in his third film (following ‘Godibanna Sadarana Maikattu’ and ‘Kavaludaari’), continues the characters’ journey from the first part in the second, with a more musical treatment. He is delighted with the response the Side A received upon release. The delay of one month from the initial announcement of the Side B was to facilitate a theatrical release. Rao emphasized the exceptional joy associated with the film’s production. The Side B introduces new characters, notably Chaitra Achar and JP, with Gopalakrishna Deshpande having an expanded role. It features seven well-composed songs for different situations.
Cinematographer Advaitha Gurumurthy shared that he had experienced the film through numerous viewings and believes it will resonate well with the audience. Ullas highlighted that the Side B offers a more extensive experience.
Rakshit Shetty, enjoying a streak of hits and success with Paramvah, mentioned that they aren’t planning a Pan-India release for the Side B of SSE. They are focusing on South Indian languages, as promoting the film in other regions would require substantial investment. However, they anticipate earning from the first day of the Side B screening. The collections from the Side A have offset their investment in both parts and the 139 days of shooting. Starting from the fifth week, they released the earlier first part of SSE on Amazon, and they have a Hindi dubbed version ready for further business opportunities.
