Udupi, May 14: Tulu film ‘Pettkammi’ from the banner ‘Malgudi Talkies’ is all set to release on May 18.
Addressing the media, actor Sriram said, “This movie is a journey of 6 friends who are possessed by life. It is a suspense thriller comedy. There are 6 major characters.”
Director Manjunath B L (Keerti) said, “The shooting of the film took place in Udupi, Moodbidri, Karkala, Hebri, Malpe, Mangaluru and Kundapur. This movie is inspired by news that aliens were seen in Mangaluru. Rs 50 lac is the budget of ‘Pettkammi’ and we have not compromised anywhere. With immense response given by the people to the trailer and songs, we are sure that ‘Pettkammi’ will be a success.”
Producer Ashok Shetty said that ‘Pettkammi’ is a youthful commercial movie with 70% comedy. “We have tried to portray the traditions and beauty of Tulunadu in the film. From ‘Bhoota Kola’ to various other elements unique to Tulunadu, everything is featured. Also, most of the people are unaware of ‘Pili Kola’ which happens at Kaup once in two years. We have also given a glimpse of that in the movie.”
Actor Rajesh Shenoy said, “It is great working with an amazing team. The producer gave an opportunity to a new comer like me. I am very grateful for that.”
Actors Anvita Sagar and Rekha were also present at the press meet.
