Actor Ravi Teja Says Film 'Irumudi' Made Him Cry

Telugu actor Ravi Teja has spoken about the emotional impact of the new film "Irumudi," revealing that its story brought him to tears despite what he described as his own "heart of stone."

Speaking at a press meet for the film, Ravi Teja said he does not usually get emotional easily, but the tragic life story of Irumudi, the film's lead female character, was powerful enough to move him.

He reportedly said that the depth of sadness in Irumudi's life story was such that audiences would struggle to hold back tears while watching the film.

Alongside these comments, the film has drawn attention for its performance at the box office. According to the report, "Irumudi" achieved a rare record for Sunday footfalls, a measure of how many people attended screenings that day.

Notably, the report highlighted that this level of Sunday turnout has not been matched even by major pan-India productions, films that are specifically made and marketed to appeal to audiences across the country rather than to a single regional market.

This comparison suggests that "Irumudi," despite likely being a more regionally focused production, has managed to outperform expectations typically reserved for larger, multi-language releases.

While specific figures for ticket sales or revenue were not detailed in the report, the emphasis on the Sunday footfall record indicates strong and possibly growing word-of-mouth interest in the film.

Ravi Teja's remarks about the emotional weight of the story appear to align with this trend, as audiences and industry observers alike seem to be responding strongly to the film's central narrative.

The combination of a lead actor's public emotional reaction and an unusual box office milestone has generated notable buzz around "Irumudi" within the Telugu film industry, though further details about the film's plot, cast, and overall box office run were not provided in the available report.
