B |     Santhana Prapthirasthu is one of the upcoming Telugu films that have garnered a lot of curiosity. While many consider talking about ‘infertility’ is a taboo, actor Vikranth says that the film touches the issue gently. Directed by Sanjeev Reddy, and co-starring Chandini Chowdary, the film chronicles the tale of couples who don’t have children.               Quirky content, need of the hour'     Vikranth who was earlier part of films like Spark says that unless youngsters come up with quirky subjects, they can’t grab eyeballs. And picking up a story that deals with couples who don’t have children is a step in that direction. “Template films are gone; we are living in an era where audiences are watching world cinema, so we can’t get away with mediocre content. Unless there’s an interesting element in the story, it is tough to grab audiences’ attention,” express the actor who is glad that Santhana Prapthirasthu’s posters and trailer have resonated with the audiences. “It’s a very relatable subject and makes the audiences think. That’s what we want to establish in the trailer, and we were bang on,” says Vikrant who thanks producers Nirvi Hariprasad and Madhura Sreedhar for backing such a unique content.     Vikranth points out that just like Ayushmann Khurrana in Bollywood comes up with unusual stories, he too wants to carve a similar niche. Stating that he watches all Ayushmann’s films, Vikrant notes that audiences always welcome fresh and unusual content. “Ayushmann’s film Vicky Donor deals with sperm donation, our film showcases the struggle of a couple to conceive a child as the man has a low sperm count. Ours is a heartwarming family and comic caper that showcases babies shouldn't be born out of pressure, but out of love.”               Sensitive issue dealt hilariously     Talking about the film, Vikranth shares that a sensitive issue has been handled in a comical and an entertaining way. “We know the seriousness and the gravity of the subject we are dealing with, so we have employed a careful approach. Out of every 10 couples, three couples suffer from this issue, so we wanted to address the subject sensibly. There’s a very fine line between comedy and mocking, and our director Sanjeev ji wrote the script in such a way that we can hold our heads high.” The actor further shares that he was fascinated with the quirkiness in the script when the director narrated. “The kind of experience Sanjay ji has certainly infused confidence in me.”     Also Read: Peddi: Janhvi Kapoor’s Heartfelt Speech in Telugu Excites Fans。
