Much awaited movie ‘Daaku Maharaaj’ is about Nandamuri Balakrishna in a Never-Before-Seen Performance, said film director Bobby Kolli.

In an interview, Bobby Kolli said ‘if you observe, there's often a certain loudness in Balakrishna's recent performances. In this film, we attempted a much more subtle and settled portrayal.

Personally, I admire his performance in Simha, especially in the doctor role, which was subtle yet impactful. My aim was to present him in that same restrained manner, and I hope I have been successful in achieving that.’

Daaku Maharaaj is a story centered on the transformation of Sitaram into Daaku Maharaaj. We have created a technically advanced film while focusing on subtle filmmaking and honest storytelling, the director said.

Both Balakrishna and Chiranjeevi have many common qualities as senior actors from the same generation. Their discipline towards the craft is incredible, and they are both workaholics. They always prioritize the well-being of their producers, working tirelessly in any conditions, whether its heat or rain, without any relaxation when the work on set needs to be done, said Bobby.

Speaking about the working experience with the Naga Vamsi, Bobby said ‘Naga Vamsi is a producer who is truly passionate about delivering a great film, especially with Nandamuri Balakrishna. He did not compromise on any technical aspects, which is why we brought in DOP Vijay Karthik Kannan. As a result, the visuals of the film have been receiving a lot of appreciation.’

‘It was a wonderful experience working with all of them. The film features two heroines Shraddha Srinath and Pragya Jaiswal. Urvashi plays a crucial role, adding a typical glamour touch to the film. Going by the story, Shraddha has a larger scope for performance, and we also have Chandini Chowdary in an important role,’ said the director.

‘Honestly, as actors or directors, we have some comforts, but I always worry about the unit. The crew had to endure the intense heat without any protection like umbrellas. Their challenges were much greater than ours, and I truly salute their dedication and hard work,’ said the director.
