"Everyone Will Come for Brahmanandam Garu, But They Will Leave Talking About Raja Goutham" – Producer Rahul Yadav Nakka on Brahma Anandam
After delivering three consecutive hits Malli Raava, Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, and Masooda producer Rahul Yadav Nakka is set to release his next project, Brahma Anandam, on February 14 under Swadharm Entertainment. The film, starring Padma Shri awardee Brahmanandam and his son Raja Goutham in lead roles, also features Priya Vadlamani and Aishwarya Holakkal in key roles. Directed by debutant Rvs Nikhil, Brahma Anandam is produced by Smt. Savitri and Sri Umesh Kumar, with Rahul Yadav Nakka backing the film on a grand scale.
The Story Behind the Title
Speaking about the film’s title, Rahul Yadav Nakka shared, “Finding the perfect title was a challenge, but we finally settled on Brahma Anandam. It was designed with the help of our co-directors. Just like my previous films, I have produced this project independently, without any external collaborations.”
An Emotional Connection
The producer was drawn to the film’s core theme—a heartwarming grandfather-grandson relationship. “This story resonated with me personally. My own grandfather always wished to see me succeed, but he passed away before I could return to him. This film is my tribute to him,” he revealed.
Brahmanandam’s Transformation
The title Brahma Anandam was chosen under one condition: Brahmanandam garu had to be a part of the film. “When the director approached me with this title, I told him that we could only proceed if Brahmanandam garu was on board. Once he heard the story, he immediately liked it. He will be seen in a role unlike anything he has done before, showcasing emotions in a new light.”
The veteran comedian, known for his impeccable comic timing, has been selective about his roles lately. “After Rangamarthanda, audiences saw Brahmanandam garu in a different light. While he is known for making people laugh, he is also an exceptional performer. This film will prove that yet again.”
Casting Raja Goutham
The film’s casting process saw several discussions. “We initially considered different actors for the lead role. Even Brahmanandam garu suggested Vennela Kishore. However, when Vennela Kishore read the script, he felt the role of Giri, the friend, would suit him better than the protagonist. That’s when Raja Goutham’s name came up. Initially, I had my reservations, but after meeting him, I was convinced he was the right choice.”
A Calculated Approach to Filmmaking
Rahul Yadav Nakka believes in smart, calculated filmmaking. “If you budget a film correctly and complete it efficiently, profits are assured. I don’t aim for massive profits—if the investment returns, that’s enough. I don’t need a hundred crores; even twenty crores is sufficient.”
A Film with Heart
Rather than focusing on commercial success, the producer emphasizes the film’s impact. “I won’t discuss hits or flops. Everyone will come for Brahmanandam garu, but they will leave talking about Raja Goutham and his performance. I am confident about that.”
The film explores a touching relationship between a grandfather and grandson, where both recognize their mistakes and grow together. “It’s an emotional yet entertaining story that will connect with audiences on a deep level,” he added.
Looking Ahead
Rahul Yadav Nakka is also producing Vibe, another film starring Raja Goutham, directed by the filmmaker behind Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya. “Once Brahma Anandam releases, audiences will truly recognize Raja Goutham’s potential. Though stories evolve during discussions, we ensure that the essence of our films remains intact.”
Praise for Director Rvs Nikhil
Speaking about the debutant director, he said, “Rvs Nikhil has handled this project exceptionally well. Directing a legend like Brahmanandam garu, along with a large ensemble cast, is no easy task, but he managed it skillfully. Some may find the premise familiar, but the scenes featuring Brahmanandam garu, Vennela Kishore, and Raja Goutham will strike a chord with everyone.”
With Brahma Anandam set for a Valentine’s Day release, the anticipation is high. The film promises a heartfelt narrative, humor, and stellar performances, making it a must-watch for audiences.
