The crew, which had been working for almost 24 hours, heaved a sigh of relief.
While the rest of the cast was getting ready for a day off, Upendra decided to watch what had been canned.
So at the crack of the dawn, he along with the film's editor Sri 'CrazyMindz', started work at Ruppies Resort where the film had been shoot. In the 15 days since the shooting for the sequel to his most daring film, Upendra, the director-actor,
has not interacted with anyone outside the film team. Making an exception, he spoke to Bangalore Mirror soon after going through the editing process on Tuesday afternoon.
Uppi2 is the sequel to Upendra, the 1999 psychological thriller, in which he acted as the leading man. The most popular story about the film's title is that he scribbled his name in anger on the title application form at the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce after the title Slum which he wanted was rejected. Refuting the 'legendary theories' about him, Uppi, said, "I have heard such stories.
But the origin of the title Upendra is different. The main character in the film is called 'Naanu' . That was the original title of the film. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision and I asked someone how it would be if we replaced Naanu with Upendra. Everyone seemed to like the idea and the following day, the title was registered.
However, people gave a different meaning to the title, saying U was Upendra, P was Prema, D was Damini and R was Raveena Tandon. I had not thought about the main actors' names when selecting my name as the title." Uppi says revealing the looks of the film will start only in September. "Already fans are creating so many posters and designs online that are wonderful.
From our side, the looks will be released only in September," he said. Uppi2's shooting schedule in Bangalore will be wrapped up in the next two days. Then, the team will embark on a 50-day journey across Mysore, Mangalore, Himachal Pradesh, Varanasi and Ladakh.
