Solo Boy is about real youth struggles: Satish

Solo Boy

Solo Boy, releasing on July 4, is more than just a film; it’s a story that connects with everyday youth, says producer Seven Hills Satish. Speaking to the media, Satish shared how the story of a middle-class teenager trying to settle in life deeply moved him, which led to the making of the film.

Satish, who earlier worked in direction and took a break for real estate business, returns to the industry as a producer with strong intent. He mentioned that Solo Boy was made with a limited budget but without compromising on quality. The film stars Bigg Boss fame Gautam Krishna, with Ramya Pasupuleti and Swetha Avasthi as female leads. Directed by Naveen Kumar, the film has a youthful team who worked for lesser pay, with promises of sharing in profits post-release.

The film, which has received a U/A certificate, will release in 120 to 150 theatres across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Satish is confident the film will entertain and connect with all sections of the audience.

He also highlighted the decision to launch the trailer with the family of late soldier Murali Nayak, calling him a true hero. This gesture, he says, was meant to honour real-life bravery, much like the values in Solo Boy.

In his words: “Solo Boy is about standing on your own feet. It’s a story every young person can relate to.” Satish closed the interview by confirming his next project, a thriller with Nara Nithin, and shared his belief: “Cinema is not just passion; it’s a madness I carry with love.”

He also added that audience support in the first three days will be key to the film’s success and encouraged people to watch it in theatres.
