B-3 has three actors. While we all know that Harshika Poonacha and Srikanth are a part of the film, the team has been very particular about keeping details about the third actor under wraps. Even on the day of its release, they steadfastly maintained that that would be the mystery element of the tale. But they let us in on some memories — scary, hilarious and heart-warming — from the making of the film.
There was a scene in which Sriki (Srikanth) had to act like the characters of two girls (who are friends) and enact their conversation about each other’s love lives. Since it was a three-and-a-half minute single shot, he had to prepare his act thoroughly. As he found it difficult to rehearse both the characters’ parts at one go, Harshika helped him prepare for almost 5-6 hours. Though she did not have a scene that day, she came on the set only to help Sriki.
We were shooting at an old factory that was all dusty and had creepers all over. One night, when I was sitting alone in a corner before my shot, I heard something rustle near me. Scared, I asked Sriki, who was sitting a little ahead of me, if he too had heard it. He hadn’t, but when I heard it again, I got up and sat near him. The next morning, we found the scales of a snake near where I was sitting initially. That was scary.
A film that was to have just one song ended up with five tracks. The most memorable composition for me would be the romantic number Allondu Belli Moda. I’ve always wanted to compose a song without using too many instruments and I was able to do that with this track. We’ve only used a guitar for the rhythm.
When we were going from Rameswaram to a village called Dhanushkodi in a van, all of us decided to sit on top of the vehicle instead of inside it. Sriki, Shyam and the rest of us found it very difficult to maintain balance as the van did not have an external carrier that we could hold on to. Instead, we just held on to each other and had a good laugh about it.
