Kalpana Rentala Biography & Facts
Oopiri (transl. Breath) | Thozha (transl. Friend) is a 2016 Indian comedy-drama film directed by Vamshi Paidipally, and produced by PVP Cinema. The film is produced in the Telugu film industry, and is shot simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil languages. The film stars Nagarjuna, Karthi and Tamannaah Bhatia while Prakash Raj, Ali, Vivek, Jayasudha, Kalpana and Tanikella Bharani playing supporting roles. Karthi debuts in Telugu cinema through this film. The film focuses on the lives of Vikramaditya, a quadriplegic billionaire, and Seenu, his ex-convict caretaker. Their realisation of the primacy of life and relationships over money and disability forms the major part of its story. A remake of Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache's French film The Intouchables (2011). The remake rights for The Intouchables were earlier acquired by Karan Johar and Guneet Monga in May 2014, who authorised PVP Cinema to produce the adaptation of this film in regional languages, postponing their previous plans; thus making Oopiri its first remake. Principal photography began in March 2015 and ended by February 2016 taking place in Chennai, Hyderabad, Paris, Belgrade and Novi Sad. Gopi Sundar composed the film's soundtrack and score, and P. S. Vinod handled the cinematography. Madhu and Praveen K. L. edited the Telugu and Tamil versions, respectively. Produced on a budget of ₹500–600 million, Oopiri and Thozha were released globally on 25 March 2016. Both received critical acclaim for the performances of the principal cast(particularly Karthi and Nagarjuna), the cinematography, and Paidipally's work in adapting the original. They were commercially successful, grossing over ₹1.6 billion. The film received two wins at the 64th Filmfare Awards South, with Best Director (Telugu) for Paidipally and Best Cinematography for P. S. Vinod. Paidipally also received a win for Best Director Award at the 6th South Indian International Movie Awards. The film is considered one of the "25 Greatest Telugu Films Of The Decade" by Film Companion. Plot Vikramaditya is a wealthy entrepreneur who owns a group of businesses. In Paris, a paragliding accident leaves him a quadriplegic. To ensure his girlfriend Nandini's happiness, Vikramaditya's friend and legal adviser, Prasad, conveys a message on his behalf that he is not interested in marrying her. Five years later, Vikramaditya leads a hopeless life with his secretary Keerthi, his cook Lakshmi, and a few servants. He and Keerthi interview candidates for a caretaker position; many seem pretentious and manipulative. Seenu, a paroled convict, applies for the job in accordance with his lawyer's (Lingam) advice; the job would prove to the court that Seenu is leading a law-abiding life, closing his case. His mother, a railway clerk, disowns Seenu as she thinks that he is a bad influence on his siblings. He is detested by his mother and his siblings. Vikramaditya, finding Seenu honest and unpretentious, hires him. He defends his decision to Prasad, saying that Seenu is the right person for the time being since he is the only one who does not pity him. Initially reluctant, Seenu learns the extent of Vikramaditya's disability and assists him with all his needs. He is attracted to Keerthi, who rejects his advances quickly and gives him an inferiority complex. Seenu learns that Vikramaditya has a purely epistolary relationship with a woman called Priya. Seenu encourages him to meet her, but Vikramaditya opposes it, fearing her reaction when she discovers his disability. Swathi's marriage is opposed by her lover's father, Kalidasu (Kalidasan in Tamil), who ridicules their economic status. Vikramaditya learns about this, and coerces Kalidasu (through Prasad). The marriage is arranged, and Seenu earns Swathi's respect, coming to know about this, Seenu tearfully thanked Vikram. After celebrating his birthday, Vikramaditya becomes ill during the night and is saved by his doctors. Seenu learns about Vikramaditya's past from Prasad, and suggests a vacation in Paris. Vikramaditya agrees and he, Seenu, and Keerthi leave for Paris. Seenu keeps Vikramaditya happy and boosts his morale, which impresses Keerthi. He wagers that he will propose to Keerthi if Vikramaditya impresses Jenny, a French dancer. Despite his disability, Vikramaditya charms Jenny with his wit. Seenu is then forced to propose to Keerthi, who later accepts. Vikramaditya meets Nandini, her husband Abhinav, and their daughter Aadhya, and Seenu tells her about Vikramaditya's accident and its aftermath. Relieved that Nandini is happy, he returns to India and his joyous attitude makes Prasad and Lakshmi happy. Later, Kanna gets in trouble with a gang, and meets Seenu at Vikramaditya's mansion. Vikramaditya, recognising Seenu's need to support his family, releases him from his obligations and suggests he may not want to push a wheelchair all his life. Although Seenu becomes a cab driver, leads a responsible life, this time Seenu's mother accepts him and Kanna, Vikramaditya is unhappy with his new caretakers and becomes a recluse. A worried Prasad contacts Seenu, who arrives and drives Vikramaditya off in a car to Visakhapatnam (Pondicherry in Tamil version). They dress elegantly, and visit a restaurant with a beautiful ocean view. Seenu leaves moments before Priya arrives. Vikramaditya looks outside through the window and sees Seenu, who smiles at him and walks away. Cast Cameo appearance Production Development Karan Johar and Guneet Monga acquired the Indian remake rights to Éric Toledano and Olivier Nakache's French comedy drama film, The Intouchables (2011) in May 2014. They planned a Hindi version, directed by Mohit Suri. Johar and Monga later authorised PVP Cinema to remake the film in regional languages, postponing their previous plans. Vamshi Paidipally was chosen to direct a Telugu film titled Oopiri. Oopiri is the first Indian remake of The Intouchables. It was also the first Indian remake of a film produced by Gaumont Film Company. N. T. Rama Rao Jr. was signed to play one of the two male leads. At Rama Rao's suggestion, Paidipally forwarded the script to actor and producer Nagarjuna for the other male lead. Nagarjuna asked the director to remove the flashback scenes, opting for a realistic version closer to the original. Paidipally agreed, and the script was reworked in two months. Production was scheduled to begin in December 2014, when Nagarjuna would be available. In an interview with Deccan Chronicle, the actor said that the film's theme would be similar to Missamma (1955). Rama Rao Jr. left the project due to scheduling conflicts with Nannaku Prematho (2016), and was replaced by Karthi in October 2014. Karthi's inclusion in the film led the makers to make the film as a bilingual titled Thozha in Tamil. Gopi Sundar was signed as the film's music director, his first collaboration with Paidipally. Oopiri had two launch ceremonies: the first on 11 February 2015 in Hyderabad and the second on 15 March in.... Discover the Kalpana Rentala popular books.
