Q: Can you provide insights into Daaku Maharaaj?

Bobby Kolli: Daaku Maharaaj narrates the journey of Sitaram's transformation into Daaku Maharaaj. We have endeavoured to create a film that is technically sophisticated while emphasizing nuanced filmmaking and authentic storytelling.

Q: What has it been like collaborating with esteemed figures such as Bala Krishna and Chiranjeevi?

Bobby Kolli: Bala Krishna and Chiranjeevi share numerous attributes as veteran actors from the same era. Their dedication to their craft is remarkable, and they exhibit an unwavering work ethic. They consistently prioritize the interests of their producers, labouring diligently under any circumstances, whether in extreme heat or rain, without seeking respite when production demands their attention.

Q: Daaku Maharaaj appears to showcase a unique aspect of Balakrishna. Could you elaborate on this?

Bobby Kolli: It is noticeable that Balakrishna's recent performances often exhibit a certain intensity. In this film, we aimed for a more understated and composed representation. I have a particular admiration for his portrayal in Simha, especially in the role of the doctor, which was both subtle and powerful. My objective was to depict him in a similarly restrained fashion, and I trust that I have succeeded in this endeavour.


Q: Balakrishna's films are known for their grand sequences. Does Daaku Maharaaj include such elements?

Bobby Kolli: No, we intentionally avoided any exaggerated sequences. This project represents a sincere effort, and we have grounded the storytelling in realism.

Q: What has your experience been like working with Naga Vamsi?

Bobby Kolli: Naga Vamsi is a producer who is genuinely committed to creating an exceptional film, particularly with Nandamuri Balakrishna. He maintained high standards for all technical aspects, which led us to collaborate with DOP Vijay Karthik Kannan. Consequently, the film's visuals have garnered significant acclaim.

Q: How was your experience collaborating with the three leading ladies in the film?

Bobby Kolli: It was an exceptional experience working alongside each of them. The film showcases two leading ladies: Shraddha Srinath and Pragya Jaiswal. Urvashi plays a significant role, contributing a distinctive glamour element to the film. In terms of the narrative, Shraddha has a broader range for her performance, and we also feature Chandini Chowdary in a pivotal role.

Q: Shooting in Rajasthan must have posed some challenges. Could you elaborate on that?

Bobby Kolli: To be honest, while actors and directors enjoy certain comforts, my primary concern is for the crew. They had to face the extreme heat without any protective measures such as umbrellas. Their difficulties far exceeded ours, and I have immense respect for their commitment and hard work.

Q: What is one trait you have adopted from Nandamuri Balakrishna?

Bobby Kolli: Discipline. I possess a degree of discipline already, but witnessing Bala Krishna Garu's commitment has motivated me to enhance it further.

Q: How would you characterize Bobby Deol?
