Mercury all set to enthrall

Director Karthik Subbaraj is confident that his silent film Mercury starring Prabhudheva will do as well as his previous film, Pizza.

Director Karthik Subbaraj, whose film Pizza became a big hit in Telugu and Tamil, is now coming up with a silent movie titled Mercury.

“Like my earlier film Pizza, this one will enthrall everyone too,” says Karthik Subbaraj, adding that the film is releasing in Telugu, Hindi and Malayalam, but not in Tamil.

“Because of the strike in Tamil Nadu, we are releasing the film in Telugu first,” he explains. The director admits that he didn’t write the story keeping Prabhudheva in mind.

“After I completed my story, I needed a strong person to play the negative role, that’s when I approached Prabhudheva. Although he wondered whether people would see a silent film, he agreed to do my project,” says the director.

Talking about his lead actor, Karthik adds, “He has never done a negative role in his career and this itself will be a shock value for the audience. You will see a new Prabhudheva in this film and his role is going to be the highlight. Since the film has no dialogues and songs, the background score plays a bigger part.”
