In a recent press meet, Upendra shared intriguing insights about the film, its concept, and his vision for the audience.
How Did the Concept of “UI” Emerge?
Upendra shared that the idea for “UI” stems from his observations of traditional education systems.
- “We learned ‘A for Apple, B for Bat,’ but never explored alternate perspectives or thought processes beyond what we were taught. This system has limited our thinking capacity. If we were encouraged to think beyond the obvious, our imagination might have developed differently.”
He continued, “In my stories, I always try to bring out a unique perspective. ‘UI’ is built around the idea of ‘You and I.’ It explores whether our thoughts and feelings align with each other. The audience will decode various elements while watching the film, making it a highly interactive experience.”
“UI”: A Surreal World and Metaphorical Storytelling
- Interactivity:
Upendra emphasized that “UI” is not just a movie but a participatory experience. “I believe that the real stars are the audience watching the movie. With ‘UI,’ the audience will not only watch but also interact with the film.” - Surreal Visuals:
Art director Shivakumar has created a unique and surreal world with distinctive sets. Initially appearing mysterious, these sets reveal deeper meanings as the story unfolds.
Aamir Khan’s Appreciation for “UI”
Speaking about Aamir Khan’s response, Upendra said,
- “Aamir Khan is a phenomenal actor. The fact that he liked our movie means a lot. His appreciation and comments about the film have helped us immensely.”
Technical Brilliance and Unique Elements in “UI”
- Music by Ajaneesh Loknath:
The music, recorded in Hungary, is described as a major highlight. Upendra praised Ajaneesh Loknath as one of the most successful pan-Indian music directors, delivering a stunning score for the film. - Runtime and Pace:
The movie is tightly edited, with a runtime of 2 hours and 10 minutes. Upendra assured that the film will maintain a fast-paced narrative without unnecessary lag. - Poster Design:
