UPPI DADA always has a way of making his detractors go Sssh. The latest is an ad placed by the Real Star in a local daily, inviting applications from aspiring actors for his next film. Uppi, who has been keeping the project under wraps ever since he announced it through another advertisement in a newspaper, has announced, “Wanted: actors and actresses (kaddayavaagi kalavidarige maathra). Boys, girls, supporting artistes, body builders, models, men and women. Age: from 17 to 70.” Uppi will personally sort out the applications and select the best faces; he has requested that the mail be sent to his BSK residence before December 31. This is not the first time that Uppi has exhibited his creative streak. In the early ’90s, the actor set a trend by coining unique titles for his films and designing interesting posters. Be it A, Sssh, or Upendra, the Real Star has always tried something new in all his directorials. While both fans and critics are speculating what this project is about, the only announcements Uppi has made so far have been through newspaper ads. The first time he announced his new film was with an illustration of a hand with the index finger touching the thumb. Even though the actor hasn’t zeroed in on a title, it led to the audience interpreting it as ‘super’. In the second advertisement, he revealed the name of the producer (Rockline Venkatesh) using a depiction that included a rock, a rule and a picture of lord Venkateshwara. Is that why they say Uppi ginta ruchi bere illa?
