Nithiin Too Honest On LIE!

After breaking into 50 Crores club with Trivikram Srinivas directorial A… Aa, the gap taken by Nithiin in signing LIE has proved to be a right gamble as the young hero’s stylish beardy look and his performance is appreciated by all. His honest speech about LIE Box Office performance at the thanks meet has also become talk of the town.

‘After doing many soft roles including that of A… Aa, I could have acted in another similar characterization but I wanted to try new and rough this time. This is when LIE happened when Hanu Raghavapudi met me. We both have decided then and there not to include any comedy routine tracks and regular stuff in LIE. Songs and fights are also added only based on the story demand.

LIE has been a special journey because my producers played unsafe game as they believed in script which was unlike a safe mass film. Ram Achanta, Gopi Achanta and Anil Sunkara were big support. 

Truth is I could not sleep on August 10th night, one day before release. I woke up with the positive reports from US and in India, LIE opened to mixed talk. Initially, Hanu and I were unhappy because we were not sure where and what went wrong because it was one year of hard work. Anyways, we are happy now because the film picked up gradually with positive talk. Common audiences liked the film and occupancy rate is increasing. From Friday to Sunday, there is improvisation in collections,’ Nithiin said.

In fact, three movies released at one time proved dismal. Nene Raju Nene Mantri and Jaya Janaki Nayaka have also opened to similar decent talk like LIE which made the final numbers to adjust in between the three.
