Praise Upendra as a visionary filmmaker
Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Navdeep set the tone for the episode by praising Upendra’s fearless and visionary approach to filmmaking. Navdeep, in particular, drew a unique comparison, calling Upendra the “OG real wild animal,” likening him to the titular character of Vanga’s Animal film. Sandeep Reddy Vanga also reflected on Upendra’s early achievements, recalling that he was just 22 when he made Om, a film that revolutionized the industry with its unconventional screenplay.
Humble beginnings and journey to success
As the conversation delved into Upendra’s personal journey, he opened up about his humble beginnings. “I lived in a very tiny house. To earn some money, I made paper covers and sold them to fruit vendors,” he shared, recalling how he began his writing career and worked his way up from an assistant director to becoming a successful filmmaker and actor.
Change of heart on move and Marriage
One of the most interesting moments of the show came when Upendra talked about his views on love and marriage. Known for his earlier statements on love being “trash,” he confessed, “I deceived you all by delivering lines like: ‘There is no love. Love is trash. But quietly, I got married. I wanted to find out whether there was any truth to what I said. After experiencing it, I am fixed now.”
