A labour of love

Director Vishwanath Arigela talks about his forthcoming release, Jodi.

While Tollywood has churned out several love stories in the past, debutant director Vishwanath states that his forthcoming film, Jodi, is a film with a difference. Starring Aadi Saikumar and Shraddha Srinath, the film portrays love and relationships against a betting backdrop.

“The story is inspired from my own experience,” reveals Vishwanath, adding, “The plot is very contemporary and I have chronicled the happenings of everyday life — from love and relationships to hatred and difficulties — so the story is relatable and something that the audience can connect with. The young man in the film faces many difficulties after falling in love with a girl, yet their love thrives.”

Since the film was in the making for a couple of years, Vishwanath says he waited patiently to complete it. “My undying belief in the script made me complete the film,” he says, adding, “One of the most challenging aspects of filmmaking is to execute the script grippingly.”
