Young Stars turning passionate writers

Young heroes of late are showing their passion for writing. They are turning writers for their films and are scoring hits also. Young hero Sidhu Jonnalagadda scored a hit with DJ Tillu. Siddhu Jonnalagadda turned writer for the film. Even earlier he did the same for the film Guntur Talkies. Sandalwood star Yash who created a sensation with KGF2 and became a pan India star penned most of the dialogues in KGF2.  Now Adivi Sesh did the same for his film Major which is getting a good response. Even earlier he turned a writer for his films Kshanam, Evaru and Goodhachari.

Yash on why he turned the writer, says “Right from the beginning I have been involved in the script sessions and processes. In fact, I like any dimension of cinema — be it writing or any other aspect. Hence, I have been part of script sessions as well, though it doesn’t mean that they give credit to me,” and he adds “Especially when playing larger than life characters you need to live and own it. That can happen during the pre-production stage. I believe if an actor is also a writer that’s where he can better his acting — apply and surrender himself to the character,”

Siddhu Jonnalagadda says “I am 51 percent actor; 49 percent writer. Writing also gives an actor the edge and brings out a different dimension. We can choose from whatever character we want to play and tweak it according to our personality,” He adds, “I like writing and I constantly keep doing it as I enjoy the process. I enjoy living in the universe of my characters. Writing helps me support and enrich the actor in me.”

Adivi Sesh says turning writer doesn't guarantee a hit. He adds “Not definitely. When you turn a writer, you get the hang of the character and can get to experience it firsthand. And when you start writing, the process brings out the best traits in the role you will play. That’s a huge advantage. You know your limitations as an actor, but writing makes you push those limits, discover and bring out your hidden side,”

Revealing the secret, he says “When I listen to scripts sometimes my instincts quickly tell me whether I can connect to the character and pull it off. But when I start writing characters, subconsciously I own them and then start building them. So half the job is done — I am already in love with and living the character,”
