Itlu Arjun Blends Love, Action and Emotion: Aniesh

Itlu Arjun Aniesh

The film Itlu Arjuna, presented by Nagarjuna, features Aniesh and Anaswara Rajan in the lead roles. Mahesh Uppala is making his debut as a director, while Venky Kudumula is entering production with this project. The movie is scheduled for release on November 13.

Aniesh believes Itlu Arjun will offer audiences a different theatrical experience by bringing together romance, action and emotion through his unconventional character. “Arjun is a very genuine character, and the emotions in his journey will definitely reach audiences. The movie has a unique blend of love, action and emotion. Nagarjuna and NTR loved the film, which gives us a lot of confidence.”

The actor explained that the central idea of a mute person’s love story was the main reason he chose the project. The narrative explores how Arjun communicates his feelings and handles different situations despite being unable to speak.

“The biggest challenge was communicating without dialogue. I had to understand how to react to every situation only through my expressions. Even the dance sequences were challenging because I had to perform without conventional lip-sync. But these aspects made the character more interesting for me,” he shared.

Action is another element of the film. Aniesh pointed out that the fights are not designed like the larger-than-life sequences seen in regular mass entertainers. Instead, they reflect how an ordinary person would respond when confronted with difficult circumstances.

Aniesh also discussed an aspect of the dubbing process. Since Arjun does not speak, he had to record the natural sounds and physical expressions that accompany his actions. “Dubbing for sounds that come naturally during action, rather than regular dialogues, was a completely new experience. It helped me understand another dimension of the character.”

With the release approaching, the actor is encouraged by the interest among audiences. He is currently listening to a few scripts for his next film and wants to choose a story based on its strength rather than confining himself to a particular genre.
