‘Saindhav,’ marking Victory Venkatesh’s 75th milestone, is the highly anticipated Pan India movie directed by the talented Shailesh Kolanu. This cinematic gift for Sankranthi is already creating a buzz with its released teaser, songs, and trailer, receiving an overwhelming response. Produced ambitiously by the renowned Venkat Boyanapalli under the Niharika Entertainment banner, the film is scheduled for release on January 13. Director Sailesh Kolanu provided insights of the media during his interaction with media.

Talking about how Saindhav started, he said "After the release of ‘Hit 2,’ producer Venkat suggested that I meet Venkatesh Garu. Upon meeting him, Venkatesh Garu congratulated me on the success of the movie. Initially, our conversations were not about the film; we bonded over general life discussions in a few meetings. Eventually, we both felt it would be great to collaborate on a film. I pitched the idea of ‘Saindhav,’ and Venkatesh Garu loved it, declaring it as his 75th film. After further development and incorporating his feedback, we embarked on the shooting journey.

Talking about pressures handling venky 75, he said "Initially, there wasn’t much pressure, but it crept in during the last week. Watching videos of Venkatesh Garu journey created a sense of responsibility to deliver a film worthy of his milestone. However, Venkatesh Garu himself did not impose any pressure on us. We are confident that the film will live up to the expectations of being his 75th."

Talking about the ensemble cast, he said "Each character in the film serves a purpose in conveying a message. The actors were chosen for their ability to communicate widely and bring awareness to the struggles of people with Spinal Muscular Atrophy. The intention was to reach a broader audience and make the story impactful."

Talking about importance of night in Saindhav, he said "Around seventy percent of the story unfolds at night, creating an exciting and captivating atmosphere. The initial introduction of characters sets a comfortable tone, but soon the audience becomes engrossed in the thrilling narrative."

Talking about Nawazuddin casting, he said "it was my decision initially, and Venkatesh Garu supported the idea. We later approached the producer, Venkat. Nawazuddin’s unique role added a distinct flavor to the film, and his dubbing for the Telugu-speaking character was done with great interest."

Talking about producer, he said "Producer Venkat was clear from the beginning that he wanted to give Venkatesh Garu a great film. He provided everything needed, and the film was made without any compromises."

Talking about the chances for a sequel, he said "If the audience likes ‘Saindhav,’ I am confident that a sequel will be made. Both Venkatesh Garu and I are open to doing ‘Saindhav 2’ if there is a demand from the audience."

- I do have a good love story based on events in my life, and I am definitely planning to bring it to the screen.

- ‘Hit 3’ is in the writing phase, but we believe in allowing a marination period for movies in the franchise. It is expected to take about a year and a half.
