RP Patnaik's Amy is releasing on October 1
Highlights
- Singer-composer R P Patnaik, also known for directing Telugu films such as Andamaina Manasulo and Broker, is set to release his first English film Amy, which will come out on October 1.
- "I finished Amy long back, but a lot of time was spent on the post-production. It's finally releasing on October 1 and I'm extremely happy about it. It has always been my dream to make a Hollywood film. This film will be my ticket to Hollywood," Patnaik told IANS.
- Amy, based on the Amish community in the US, is a supernatural thriller.
- "The idea for the film was conceived during my frequent trips to the US. I came to learn about the Amish community, who despite being rich, live a very common life with no special amenities. I met and spent some time with them and then I was inspired to script a story around them," he added.
- "It's about Amy, a girl from the community, who can see possessed souls. We spent over $2 million in the making of the film, especially on the visual effects and graphics," he added.
- As a composer, Patnaik has composed tunes for over 50 films across Telugu, Kannada and Tamil. Some of his best albums include Jeyam, Nee Kosam and Santosham.
- Quizzed if he has shifted base to Hollywood, he said: "I would never bid adieu to Telugu film industry. I have just taken a break and concentrating on Hollywood because it caters to large audience on a global platform. I'm also in talks for another English project."
