With its gripping football drama, Riingo’s
Messi
is already offering an adrenaline rush to the audience. CT spoke to a few
Tollywood
stars about the film. Here’s what they had to say…
Sudiptaa Chakraborty: It is a fantastic film. Riingo should take a bow just for the concept. If I am not mistaken, he has been working on the idea for years. His effort has finally paid off. The film is a visual treat. Riingo proves that you don’t need a humongous budget to make a good film. I am floored by the performance of the two youngsters —
Ronodeep Bose and Aryann. While Rono is lucid and effortless in the film, Aryann looks tailor-made for his character.
Rupsha Guha
: I think Messi is one of Riingo’s best creations so far. He is probably the only person who does almost everything in a film. He writes, edits, directs and what not. It is a very passionate and inspirational movie, which will find a connect with common people. I lent my voice to a song in the film and that too came from sheer passion. I don’t aspire to be a singer but I am passionate about music. That’s why I agreed to sing and thoroughly enjoyed doing so.
Amrita Chattopadhyay: There is madness in Riingo when it comes to work and Messi proves that. The actors in the film are absolutely brilliant. Ronodeep and Aryann portrayed their characters like real footballers. They must have worked really hard to show the skills on screen. Though they didn’t flaunt the rigours of training, their performances clearly show their hard work. There’s an infectious energy about the film.
