Uppi talks about his new film

On Friday, when posters of his upcoming directorial were splashed across the city, they made waves.
The excitement was a throwback to a decade ago, when Upendra designed the posters of his directorials, unusually titled A, Om, Swastik and Ssssh.
Upendra has returned to his first love ��� calling the shots ��� after his last directorial titled Upendra in 1999.This time, too, the actor-director has devised a unique concept to stir up interest among his fans.
The movie���s posters only feature a hand ��� the thumb and forefinger touching, the other three fingers outstretched; the gesture some use to indicate ���super���. There���s no mention of the title, and the only line on the posters is, ���Upendra acts and directs.��� The film will be made in four languages: Kannada, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
���I���m thrilled with the response I���m getting from my fans and industry folks,��� says Uppi. ���I���ve been getting calls asking what the symbol stands for. I���m enjoying all the excitement that my posters have created,��� says Uppi, who���s just back from Thailand after shooting for Rajni. He adds, ���If I���m returning to directing after 10 years, every aspect of my film has to be innovative. I don���t follow trends and work hard to make my films a talking point.���
His previous directorials have been much discussed in Gandhinagar. When Uppi directed A, also his first film as an actor, the poster of the film only read, ���A... Buddhivantarige Maatra.��� It was the same with Om, which starred real-life rowdies of the city. ���Which is why I was keen that my comeback directorial has to be different,��� says Uppi.
So, what���s the symbol about? ���It could mean anything ��� it depends on the viewer���s perspective. Some say it means ���bombaat��� or ���sakkath���. Others have interpreted it as a yoga mudra. Yet others say that it means super and have declared that that���s the title of the movie! I���m not going to accept or deny that. My sole aim is to stoke the audience���s imagination which, I think, I���ve done successfully,��� laughs Uppi.
