Raj Tarun’s Paanch Minar is earning praise and positive word of mouth, a welcome change compared to his recent films. The actor is thrilled that people are talking about his film and his comeback. “I am very happy. Honestly, this is the first time in years that I actively promoted a film. When we screened it as a premiere for the audience, they thoroughly enjoyed it. After a long time, I am delighted that my film has done well, and I am promoting it as much as I can,” said Raj Tarun.
The film is packed with entertainment from start to finish. When asked if doing comedy is difficult, he said, “Comedy is not just about one actor; it depends on the other actor’s reactions too. Comedy is challenging because it is a collective effort, not just the work of one individual.”
Raj Tarun’s previous films went largely unnoticed upon release. When asked about being in the news for personal reasons and his current state of mind, he laughed and said he is still in Telangana. “I always felt bad that I couldn’t be present for the promotions of my earlier films. I didn’t worry about their box-office performance, but I felt bad for not promoting them properly due to various reasons. But for Paanch Minar, I made myself available and am promoting the film in every way I can,” he added.
The actor also expressed admiration for comedian Srinivas Reddy. “Srinivas Reddy garu acted in the film Venky, which was released in 2004, and he looks exactly the same in Paanch Minar. He’s incredible,” said Raj Tarun. He further noted that many people’s livelihoods depend on a film. “I like to meet people, whether good or bad. For the past 12 years, I have been traveling alone constantly,” he said.
When asked if he feels lonely, he clarified, “There’s a difference between loving to be alone and being lonely. I can sit in a room for three days reading books and watching TV. I enjoy spending time alone.”
Addressing rumours about his love for animals, Raj Tarun said he once had 22 dogs. “Yes, I had that many dogs earlier, but not anymore. I adopted most of them, and some had puppies, so the number grew. Now, several have passed away,” he explained.
