In the wake of the success of “Salaar Part 1: Ceasefire,” actor Pramod is soaring to new heights in his career. Set to collaborate with director Ramesh Indira for an upcoming Kannada film, Pramod reflects on his journey in the industry and his aspirations for the future.
Expressing his satisfaction with the progress he’s made, Pramod acknowledges that his climb may be gradual, but he values having a steady flow of work. Starting with projects like “Geetha Bangle Stores” and “Rathnan Prapancha,” he credits films like “Salaar” for gaining him the recognition he deserves, especially as an actor without an industry background.
“I see myself being amongst the top league of actors in a few years,” Pramod asserts, emphasizing his preference for versatile roles over mass appeal characters. He places importance on connecting with the audience and mentions his increased screen presence in the upcoming “Salaar 2.”
Discussing his next project with Ramesh Indira, Pramod describes it as a youthful and family-oriented subject with thrilling elements, maintaining the collaboration with a team from his previous film “Premier Padmini.” Reuniting with actress Shruti Naidu from his small screen days, Pramod highlights their strong working relationship.
Pramod expresses appreciation for being part of multi-starrers, citing examples like Prithviraj Sukumaran and Prabhas. He commends Prithviraj’s multifaceted talent and Prabhas’s humility and gracious treatment of people on set, noting that such experiences boost confidence and provide valuable insights into working on larger film sets.
Admitting to past script selection mistakes, Pramod emphasizes the importance of a compelling story and presentation. He recognizes the challenges in the current film landscape, with numerous releases across languages, and underscores the significance of production houses effectively bringing movies to the audience. Acknowledging the business perspective of cinema, Pramod emphasizes its vital role in sustaining a long and successful career in the industry.
