Recently released Tamil feature film Shot Boot Three, received a warm welcome in the US and has been acclaimed to be a well-meaning family entertainer.
Speaking to NIA the New Jersey-based executive producer Venkatesh Sadagopan, fondly addressed as Venky said that the movie was screened in several cities in the US and has received an encouraging response. “AP International was given the global rights to screen the movie and they engaged Prime Media to control the screening in the US. The movie was screened in Boston, New Jersey, Connecticut, Charlotte, Dallas, Fremont, and Chicago. “For a movie with no big name as heroes the response and review is quite impressive,” said Venky.
In Tamil Nadu, the movie was shown on 70 screens across the state. “Initially we received only a commitment for 20 screens, after the preview shows and initial positive press review they added more, " said Venky. First-time producer Venky expressed that it was highly gratifying and emotional to hear the positive initial response after the first show.
The movie resorted to crowdfunding to finance the production. The initial pitch for funds was made in 2021 at the American Tamil Entrepreneur Association (ATEA) conference in New Jersey. The concept received a good response giving Venky along with Arun Vaidyanathan, the producer and Director the much needed impetus.
The story was initially about only 4 kids and a dog and later star actors like Sneha, Venkat Prabhu, and Yogi Babu were roped in, explained Venky.
The movie has already received OTT offers and Venky said that their crew is confident that Shot Boot Three will do well here as well.
The movie has sent subtle messages about modern-day parenting.“More interestingly, the importance of pet-friendliness in upbringing children that helps instill human kindness is also being stressed, not in a preaching tone but with an element of humor, exclaimed Venky”. With music from Veena Maestro Rajesh Vaidya, the tone seems to have played well.
The movie is shot clean with no obscene or violent expressions, quite good for the family audience; a mission Venky stressed that all movie makers should care for. As films are the most powerful medium that can impress the younger generation it is important that we let them get positive and productive influence, Venky opined.
Venky along with Arun, is mulling on a couple of upcoming projects one of which could be a web series to be shot in the US. Roll up your sleeves aspiring Indian American artists, for you could be on screens soon with this production team.
The movie will be on Amazon Prime between November 7-11, before Deepavali
