 How did the journey of ‘Tribandhaari Barbarik’ start? 

Through the remaining schedule of Razakar, director Mohan narrated the story to me. I used to be immediately drawn to it. After listening to the story, I supplied strategies and references on shade grading and visible patterns that may improve the narrative. Maruthi garu appreciated these concepts immensely. That’s how director Mohan, producer Vijay, and I got here collectively and began this undertaking.

What have been the key challenges throughout filming? 

Most of Tribanadhari Barbarik was shot at evening and beneath rain results. Making a monsoon ambiance throughout summer season is not any simple activity, which was our greatest problem. Simulating the wet season in scorching climate required a whole lot of effort. Producer Vijay took a daring step by not compromising on the imaginative and prescient. Regardless of this being his debut movie, he invested within the undertaking with full religion within the story and allowed us to work with a considerable price range.

What are the movie’s standout options? 

Every character in Tribanadhari Barbarik has a singular id. We used distinct shade grading for every character, which adjustments in accordance with their transformation all through the movie. The rain impact scenes are designed to look as pure as potential. Visually, the movie is on par with high-quality productions like Tumbbad and 2018 by way of realism and texture.

The movie’s greatest power is its story. After I first heard the script, I instantly determined to take it on—identical to I did with Polimera and Razakar. Each character has significance, and the climax is totally unpredictable. The best way it’s structured will depart the viewers stunned.

How was your expertise working with the solid? 

Udaya Bhanu garu performs a really highly effective position within the movie. She’s returning to the display with an impactful efficiency after a few years. Vasishta garu can even be seen in a contemporary new avatar. I’ve recognized Sathyaraj garu since my days engaged on Baahubali. He’s extraordinarily punctual on set. Although we put him by way of difficult evening shoots and rain scenes, he by no means as soon as complained (laughs).

Are you glad with how the movie turned out? 

I used to be in a position to movie Tribanadhari Barbarik precisely how I had envisioned it once I first heard the story. For that, I thank each the director and producer for giving me full artistic freedom. The producer by no means hesitated to spend the place wanted. He was on set each single day, always motivating the crew by saying, “We consider within the story, the movie has to come back out properly.” Having such a dedicated producer is what made it potential for me to convey the movie to life simply as I visualized.

What can the viewers count on from the story? 

Folks usually say that Telugu cinema doesn’t produce sufficient content-driven movies and look to Malayalam cinema for that. However Tribanadhari Barbarik is right here to show in any other case. It is a uncommon form of movie in Telugu, deeply rooted in content material, with sturdy characters and storytelling that can shock the viewers.

What’s subsequent for you? 

I not too long ago wrapped up a movie with Allari Naresh titled 12A Railway Colony, which will likely be launched quickly. Polimera 3 can even start capturing shortly. I’ll proceed collaborating with director Anil garu on upcoming initiatives. I will be working as a cinematographer for a brand new movie titled Kamakhya with another director.
