Actor Satya Dev is now getting ready for the release of his forthcoming psychological thriller Rao Bahadur, which is being directed by Venkatesh Maha. The movie is set to hit cinemas on July 3, and the actor has started the promotions and also talked about worries around how it might do at the box office.
Satya Dev On Rao Bahadur
In a recent interview, Satya Dev was asked a question that basically centered on whether Rao Bahadur might end up like those critically praised films that somehow did not collect well during their first run. The conversation also brought up Mahesh Babu’s One: Nenokkadine, which got appreciation later on, but at the time it didn’t really manage strong commercial results.
Answering the question Satya Dev looked confident about the current movie audience and their interest in newer kinds of cinema, even if the genre feels different.
”Audiences have evolved a lot over the years. Post- COVID, they have been consuming world content, and have been regularly watching films from other languages. They should like the content” he said.
Satya Dev also highlighted that viewers now look for films beyond language barriers. He pointed out how Malayalam cinema has been gaining a lot of traction among Telugu audiences too.
According to Satya Dev, the real deciding factor for a film is the kind of experience it creates for people. ”The most important thing is that we need to give them an experience. If that happens, movies will become a hit. We shouldn’t have a pre-determined notion, that they won’t watch a certain kind of films,” he added.
He also complimented Telugu audiences by saying they are open-minded and ready for fresh, unfamiliar storytelling. “Telugu audiences are super-intelligent. First, we should make different films,” he remarked.
Rao Bahadur is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 3, and it will try to convert the rising buzz into real box office numbers, right from the start.
