Little Hearts Director’s Bold Statement Shocks Fans, Next Comedy Film Announced

Little Hearts has become one of the biggest cultural surprises in recent Telugu cinema. The romantic comedy, starring Mouli, Tanuj Prashanth, and Shivani Nagaram, continues to enjoy an impressive box office run. The film collected Rs 13.65 crore in just six days, growing strongly after its opening day of Rs 1.35 crore. Critics and audiences praised its youthful energy, heartfelt climax, and the lead pair’s natural performances.

Sai Marthand on Why Story Is Not Important

Director Sai Marthand shocked fans with a surprising statement. In an interview with a Telugu media channel, he said that Little Hearts “does not have a story” and runs entirely on screenplay. He explained, “I believe films come alive through screen rather than story. That’s why I will make my next film fully based on screenplay. Story does not play a fundamentally important role in filmmaking.”

Marthand also revealed that he built his film industry contacts through fan wars on Twitter. He said that Twitter gave him information, networking opportunities, and inspiration, which helped him create a career in cinema.

Next Project Details

The director confirmed that he will make his next film in the comedy genre. He promised to share more details soon and kept fans curious about what he will do next.

Little Hearts OTT Release

Fans who missed the theatrical release can soon watch Little Hearts on ETVWin. A WIN Original Production, which owns the OTT platform, backs the film. The makers will announce the streaming date after the theatrical run ends.

Interesting Casting Insight

Marthand disclosed that he initially chose Jagapathi Babu to play Mouli’s father. Although the veteran actor liked the script, he declined the role due to personal reasons. However, he pointed out a crucial flaw in the story during narration, and his feedback helped the team refine the script and make it stronger.

With strong word-of-mouth, glowing reviews, and a director willing to experiment, Little Hearts continues to attract audiences and stand.
