Superstar Upendra is a dejected man? Is it so? He partially agrees to this point. I would finish commitment for other banners do my films and then say good-bye to films! Where are you going? Is it politics or the Advertisement field? Upendra keeps mum. But his closets disclose to Chitraloka that he is finding a place of his caliber in Ad world. 

However the dejected Uppi is not happy with the media off late. Why, what is the reason? Some section of media is averse to me. You all promise me that you are going to extend full support to my projects - asked Upendra in a tense look at the media. 

You explain at least now? 
I should not tell about it now. Then how can you say we have not written well about ‘H2O’? It is not like that. Appreciating the film H2O as technically brilliant film is OK but why did I make such a film, what was the trauma I underwent, what is the loss I have suffered, the mental tension I had to face. Media has not written about it. You have not analyzed what Upendra is.  Now I will tell you. Why I am not directing is because of 'H2O'. This upendra has swallowed few crores of rupees, he has brought the producer to the streets, where was the need for Tamil language in the film - and some more troubled me a lot.

The fact is that I worked for a less remuneration. Do you work for one and half year for one-month salary? 
I have worked like that for 'H2O' says Upendra. I had even approached Dadasaheb Phalke award winner Akkineni Nageshwara Rao for the 'nature' role. He has appreciated my concept so much.  When a person is growing to the heights, there will be someone who looks at minus points. That does not mean I should be always pulled down. When a good thing is happening appreciate it. Do not find fault with it says Uppi.
