A Good Film Like Jayannth & The Jingo Pen Is Sure to Find Success: Tanikella Bharani
Films Like ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen Are Rare: MLC Sripal Reddy
‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’, produced by Divya Praveen Bolisetty under the Namo Jayam Productions banner and directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Naveen Desaboyina, is gearing up for a grand theatrical release on November 14, coinciding with Children’s Day.
The film features Master Jayanth Bolisetty, Uha Reddy of ‘Mana Shankara Vara Prasad’ fame, Satyam Rajesh, Ashish Gandhi, Manasa Radhakrishnan, Tanikella Bharani, Kasi Viswanath, Manik Reddy, Ashok Kumar, Srikanth Reddy and Telugu Experiments Sai Krishna in prominent roles.
Ahead of its release, the makers organised a grand pre-release event on Tuesday, with MLC Sripal Reddy attending as the chief guest. Several prominent personalities from the film and education sectors attended the event and extended their support to the team.
Tanikella Bharani said: “It has been a while since we saw a good film that children can watch together. ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’ has been made with a meaningful message for children. Divya and Praveen have produced the film wonderfully. Jayanth is an exceptionally talented boy with a bright future ahead of him. I am confident that he will grow into a fine actor. Naveen has made this film with a beautiful message, and a good film like this deserves to succeed. I am sure it will.”
K.L. Damodara Prasad said: “Films made with children at their centre have always found appreciation. From what I have seen, Jayannth has delivered a wonderful performance. Praveen appears to be a multi-talented personality, and Naveen seems to have crafted the film beautifully. There was a time when more than 50 children’s films were made every year in our industry. Audiences should encourage and support good films like this.”
MLC Sripal Reddy said: “It is a wonderful initiative to make a film like ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’. I thank Praveen for producing a film with such a meaningful message for children. I have worked as a mathematics teacher, and I know how important such stories are. Films like this are very rare. Children, parents and teachers alike should watch this movie. It is important to recognise the unique talents of children and guide them in the right direction. I wish the film great success.”
Producer Divya Praveen Bolisetty said: “‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’ is an emotional story. I request everyone to watch and support this meaningful film. We are bringing it to theatres on November 14 as a special Children’s Day offering.”
Praveen Bolisetty said: “I consider it a privilege to have had the opportunity to work on the tunes, dialogues and lyrics for ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’. My thanks to Mohith for providing wonderful music and cinematographer Andrew for capturing the film beautifully. We acquired the remake rights from Malayalam and brought this project to life with the support of several people. I thank everyone who stood by us throughout this journey. I hope this film will emerge as a musical, message-driven blockbuster. My special thanks to Asian Suresh for bringing our film to theatres. Releasing on November 14, on the occasion of Children’s Day, I request everyone to watch and support it.”
Ashish Gandhi said : “I have played a rather different character in ‘Jayanth & The Jingo Pen’. Jayannth has a bright future ahead of him, and the songs in the film sound very fresh. We have films like ‘Taare Zameen Par’ in Hindi, and I believe ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’ will earn a similar special place in Telugu cinema. Films of this kind are rare, so I urge children and parents to watch it together.”
Private Schools Association President Vijayender Reddy said: “I watched a few scenes from ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’ and was thoroughly impressed. Just as ‘Khadgam’ has become synonymous with August 15, I believe ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’ could become a special film associated with November 14 every year. Jayannth has performed exceptionally well, and I am certain he will become a star. I request children, teachers and parents to watch this film.”
Director Naveen Desaboyina said: “Divya and Praveen extended tremendous support during the scripting process of ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’. We rarely see films made for children these days, and Jayanth is an extraordinary artist. He can deliver even lengthy dialogues in a single take and displays remarkable variations in dialogue delivery and diction. Mohith has composed excellent music, while Praveen’s lyrics, tunes and dialogues are among the film’s major highlights. I would give myself 50 per cent of the credit for this film and the remaining 50 per cent to Praveen. Encouraging meaningful films like this is a social responsibility that we all share.”
Master Jayyanth said : “I thank my parents for introducing me to the world of cinema through ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’. My heartfelt thanks to Naveen anna for giving me this wonderful opportunity and to everyone who worked on the film. The movie has all kinds of emotions, and I am sure it will connect with audiences. I request children, teachers and parents to watch it. Our film is releasing on November 14 as a special Children’s Day treat, and I hope everyone will support us.”
Baby Uha said : “I thank Divya and Praveen for giving me this wonderful opportunity in ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’. Our film is arriving in theatres on November 14, and I request everyone to watch and support it.”
Co-producer Shafi said: “Praveen produced ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’ with the intention of delivering a meaningful message. Our journey together has continued for the past 12 years. Praveen established Namo Jayam Productions to fulfil his dream of making this film. Audiences will get to witness Jayanth’s extraordinary talent on screen. I request everyone to watch and encourage our film, which is releasing on November 14.”
Actor Kasi Viswanath said: “Praveen, who usually carries a baton as a police officer, has now taken up the pen to write dialogues. Divya and Praveen have worked incredibly hard for their son Jayanth. Naveen has brought the film to life beautifully. I wish the entire team great success.”
Actor Ashok Kumar said: “Naveen has given me a wonderful role in this film. Although Praveen made this film with his son Jayannth in mind, he has created a remarkable piece of cinema. The content is truly impressive, and I hope audiences will encourage and support meaningful films like this. I wish the movie a grand success.”
Satyam Rajesh said : “The entire shooting experience of ‘Jayannth & The Jingo Pen’ was a lot of fun. In one particular scene, I actually hit Jayanth, and he endured the pain and delivered a remarkable performance. This film will remain a special one in my career. I request children and parents to watch it together and encourage good films like this.”
