Azaad
celebrates platinum disc
Nagarjuna, who scored an hat-trick with the success of Azaad,
participated in the triple platinum disc function of the film
at Vijayawada. The Venkateswara Palace wore a festive look
and die-hard fans thronged the place to have a glimpse of
their favourite star. Producer C Aswini Dutt, known for his
lavish productions, has not compromised in any way in making
it an wholesome entertainer peppered with a patriotic message.
Soundarya and Shilpa Shetty play the female lead with Raghuvaran
and Prakash Raj in key roles. It is director Tirupathsamy’s
second hit film with good music by Manisarma. The audio released
by Supreme Audio Company had record sales of cassettes and
the film is doing very well all over the state.
The police had a tough time controlling the fans and Nagarjuna’s
speech was lost in the noise created by them. Later, his fan
association felicitated him with huge garlands. Sudeep, the
city police commissioner, who was the chief guest, praised
the patriotism in the film. Veteran journalist Kutumba Rao
also participated in the function.
Happy amongst his fans, Nagarjuna said, “I feel thrilled
to see happiness on the faces of my fans when my film is a
hit. Though patriotic films are considered dry, I took it
up and enjoyed doing it. After Shiva and Annamayya, this is
one of the best films in my career”. Later, the Vijayawada
Press Club organised a Press meet.
Journalists expressed varied opinions about the film since
the fictitious character Azaad is created by a journalist
to eradicate evil forces.
