I don’t want to be a mamooli film-maker: Prem

We just discovered Prem���s adda! That���s the title of Prem���s forthcoming film in which he���ll once again don the greasepaint, after the debacle of his acting debut, Preethi Yeke Bhoomi Melide (PYBM).
The actor-director, who���s busy with his next release, Raj... The Showman, says he���ll get started with Adda as soon as he finishes directing Jogi���s sequel, Jogayya.���I won���t direct Adda, even though I���ve penned its story. But I���ve ensured that I���ve rectified the mistakes I made while scripting PYBM. And I���ve handed over the responsibility of directing this flick to one of my boys. Adda will also be produced by the boys who work as technicians in my team,��� says Prem.
The film, he says, will be ���just like English cinema���. ���Adda will be very real, and not like the regular stuff you see in films these days. And this time, I���ll be back as a typical hero ��� beefed-up body, change of get-up, and a funky hairdo. I didn���t give all this much importance in PYBM and appeared on-screen like a normal guy. So, Adda will have a new approach and I���m doing all this only to please my audience,��� Prem tells us. And while the heroine for the film will be a Kannada da hudugi ��� ���people keep telling me that I only bring Mumbai heroines��� ��� it will also feature a popular B-town face. ���In PYBM, I brought down Mallika Sherawat. This time, we���re trying to rope in Bipasha Basu for a song,��� he shares.
But why isn���t he directing Adda? Does he find it tough to act and call the shots? ���I have too many commitments this year. There���s Raj, which is up for release, after which I���ll direct Jogayya. Then there���s a Telugu film that���s been offered to me. I���ve two more films to direct for Puneet. I don���t want to take too much on my hands,��� explains Prem.
There���s also talk that he���s taking really long to wrap up Raj. Why do most of his films take a year to finish? ���I know. Even my friends ask me why I take so long to finish my projects. But that���s how long it takes if a film has to be technically and aesthetically sound. Otherwise, it becomes a mamooli film ��� I don���t want to be a mamooli film-maker,��� he asserts.
Now, his sole focus is on Raj. ���Everyone from the distributors and exhibitors, to the black market fellows, are asking me when Raj will release. I won���t say the film is different, but full family koothkondu enjoy maado story idu,��� promises Prem.
