Ashok Selvan, Ritu Varma on ‘Nitham Oru Vaanam’ and their love for feel-good films
The HinduIn February last year, when cinema was still reeling from the first wave of the pandemic, a breezy Telugu movie called Ninnila Ninnila released on ZEE5. More than a year later, the lead actors of that film — Ashok Selvan and Ritu Varma — are back with Nitham Oru Vaanam, another film that promises to tug at our heartstrings, set to release in theatres on November 4. “ I think I am just blessed to have gotten such scripts,” says Ritu, who has had a string of feel-good films in Telugu from Pelli Choopulu to Oke Oka Jeevitham. So, I have to break the monotony and experiment with other subjects as well.” Nitham Oru Vaanam is also an experiment of sorts: it has Ashok playing three different characters — Arjun, who lives in a cocoon; Veera, a self-righteous man from the 2000s; and Prabha. “ I have known him since 2015 and I am so proud to have seen how Ashok evolve as an actor and a person.” Like Ashok, Ritu has come a long way as well.
