That’s why the industry was shocked with the news of Nenapiralli Prem doing a full monty for his latest film, I Am Sorry...Mathe Banni Preethsona. Talking to Metrolife Prem clarifies that the news was completely false.

“I don’t know why people are spreading such rumours about me. I have a particular image on screen and I wouldn’t do any thing to sabotage that image.

I just want to ignore such baseless rumours. People, who know me, definitely understand that I wouldn’t do such things,” he says.

So how does he explain the clip that is making the rounds? “That is taken from a song where I am getting ready to go to a party. But I wasn’t nude in the song as is being portrayed in the clip,” he states. The movie itself, Prem says, has a sensitive subject. “It’s an emotional thriller and a love story in which I play an architect.

I don’t want to reveal too much about the film because a lot is being said in the title itself,” he says.

Prem has a lot of good words for the film’s director Ravindra and he is happy with the promotional activities that Ravindra has planned.

“He knows how to create curiosity. At first when the campaign was launched he never showed the hero’s face and now he is hiding the heroine’s face. It’s interesting and definitely different,” he laughs.  

Currently, Prem is working in a comedy called Dhan Dhana Dhan and soon he will start shooting for his action film Kettavanu. “I always wanted to do a mass entertainer with loads of action. The script of Kettavanu came along at the right time. It will show me as an action hero which will appeal to the masses,” he says excitedly.
