Vijay Antony Praises ‘Bookie’, Says Telugu Audience Will Connect Strongly
Starring Ajay Dishan and Dhanusha as the lead pair, Bookie is a youth-centric entertainer directed by Ganesh Chandra. Presented by Vijay Antony, the film is produced by Ramanjeyulu Javvaji under the Sharavanth Ram Creations banner. Lakshmi Manchu and Sunil play key roles in the film.
After receiving a blockbuster response following its Tamil release, Bookie is all set for a grand Telugu theatrical release on February 20. Ahead of the release, the makers held a press meet where the team shared their experiences and excitement.
Vijay Antony speaks
“Thank you everyone for being here. I’m very happy that Lakshmi Manchu garu joined us today, and I truly hope to collaborate with her in many more films.
Ganesh Chandra is a director with exceptional vision. Though Bookie is not a massive-budget film, it looks grand purely because of his execution. After this film, audiences will definitely support him even more.
My association with writer Bhaskya Sree has continued from Bichagadu, and once again, he has delivered brilliant dialogues.
Ajay Dishan gained recognition with Margan, and his performance in Bookie will impress everyone. Telugu audiences always support genuine talent, and I request them to encourage him as well.
Dhanusha looks extremely charming on screen. Performances by Lakshmi Manchu and Sunil are major highlights. The climax will definitely bring tears to your eyes—it’s deeply emotional and highly relatable.
I sincerely request everyone to watch Bookie in theatres on February 20 and support us.”
Lakshmi Manchu shares
“The film released in Tamil last Friday and received an overwhelming response. This is a universally relatable story.
Whenever Vijay Antony composes music, the content quality automatically reaches another level. Director Ganesh Chandra has a very promising future ahead.
I played a very interesting character in this film with expressive moments that audiences will enjoy. Since it’s a youth-oriented film, I strongly believe Bookie will also achieve great success in Telugu.”
Hero Ajay Dishan says
“I’m extremely happy with the love I received for Margan, which gave me a strong identity as an actor. Bookie is my first film as a hero, and I’m deeply thankful to Vijay Antony garu for giving me this opportunity.
He promised me this film even before Margan was released, and I’m grateful for his trust. I play a character that everyone can relate to—it felt like my own life was being portrayed on screen.
Vijay Antony composing music for my debut film as a hero makes this project even more special. The music is outstanding. I hope audiences watch the film in theatres and support us.”
Heroine Dhanusha speaks
“This is my first film, and I’m very thankful to Vijay Antony garu for giving me this opportunity.
I’m extremely happy that Bookie is releasing in both Tamil and Telugu. I know a little Telugu—I was born in Tirupati, and my mother is from there.
I request everyone to visit theatres on February 20 and encourage our film.”
Director Ganesh Chandra says
“I share a strong bond with Telugu culture—I’m Tamil, but I married a girl from Vijayawada.
I sincerely thank Vijay Antony garu for trusting me with this project. The film received an excellent response in Tamil, and it will release in Telugu on February 20.
Ajay Dishan completely justified his role; it’s impossible to imagine anyone else in that character. Dhanusha brought the role to life beautifully.
Writer Bhaskya Sree’s Telugu dialogues are even better than the Tamil version. Audiences will thoroughly enjoy the characters played by Lakshmi Manchu and Sunil. There’s a big surprise in the film that viewers must experience in theatres.”
Writer Bhaskya Sree says
“‘Bookie’ is a name we lovingly use for the girl we love. The story begins with a breakup and includes nine songs.
Vijay Antony’s tunes and the film’s cinematography are outstanding. Ajay Dishan delivered a terrific performance.
I consider it my fortune to be part of such a beautiful film. With a strong screenplay and emotional depth, Bookie received great appreciation in Tami
