Natural Star Nani has been in the habit of supporting novel and intriguing narratives, and his new release, Court – State Vs A Nobody, continues this trend. As opposed to regular commercial filmmakers, this legal thriller is conceived around an engrossing narrative and boasts strong performers such as Priyadarshi, Shivaji, Sai Kumar, and Rohini. Directed by newbie director Ram Jagadeesh, the movie dwells on the finer points of the POCSO Act, and its teaser and trailer have already having created a positive buzz.
However, what’s stealing the spotlight is Nani’s daring statement at the film’s pre-release event. Understanding the challenge of attracting audiences to a content-driven film, he made a striking remark:
“I have never asked anyone to watch my films before. But I strongly urge you to watch Court. If you don’t like it, you can skip HIT 3.”
This bold declaration instantly became a hot topic on social media, showcasing Nani’s immense confidence in the film. Interestingly, both Court and the highly anticipated HIT 3 are produced under his banner, Wall Poster Cinema. While Court is an intense legal drama, HIT 3 is a big-budget action thriller. By intertwining the fate of the two films, Nani has taken a major risk, signaling his unwavering trust in Court’s content.
Wall Poster Cinema has consistently received praise for its unconventional storytelling. However, theatrical hits have been limited. This time, Court is positioned as a film designed for the big screen, and Nani’s powerful statement suggests he believes strong word-of-mouth will drive its success.
In an industry where box office numbers are often dictated by star power, content-driven films face an uphill battle. But Nani is betting on audiences recognizing Court’s depth and impact.
Will the Court prove him right and emerge as a surprise winner? The answer awaits as the film gears up for release on March 14.
