London [United Kingdom], November 29: For any filmmaker, nothing matters more than seeing their film reach out to audiences from different parts of the world. Dr Kiran Kumar Durga is no exception. His directorial Telugu film Dolly, a female-led film on street boxing, got acclaim at several film festivals. And now, it has got a digital release on Amazon Prime UK.
Dolly stars popular Marathi actress Pranjali Kanzarkar in the role of a deaf and dumb girl who defies all odds to become a boxer, despite no support from her father. Besides Pranjali, Dolly also features Temper Vamshi and Dreedhar Reddy. K Krathi is the producer of Dolly and is backed by Aarav Karthee Creations.
Dr Kiran Kumar Durga, whose screen name is KK, said, “I have been passionate about filmmaking since I was in school. In 2013, I made my first short film with a Panasonic camera named Its My Life. I released it on YouTube, and it was well received. In 2018, I wrote Dolly’s script as I was inclined towards street boxing at that time. To prepare, I watched a lot of movies based on boxing. I even trained for 2 years to understand the sport in detail. I made a strong team comprising director of photography Rakesh Sharma and executive producer Bollam Siddu Yadav. We jointly did the screen test and photography test on a lot of actors. And finally, we decided to sign Pranjali Kanzarkar as she was perfect to play the protagonist.”
He further said, “Dolly went on floors in March 2021. The first schedule lasted six days. For the second schedule, we required an actor to play the antagonist. We realized that Temper Vamshi would be apt. His physique and personality fit the character well. He was training for MMA for his role in Liger. That made it convenient for us as it meant that we wouldn’t have to train him for boxing choreography. The second schedule commenced in September 2021. It was a successful shoot. The post-production got over in March 2022.”
