Peer Pressure..!
is very commonly addressed in west, but in India not that much of Importance is given to this issue, giving it a deeper thought ,
root cause of many problem which teens face, though it starts of as a
one time attempt
thing,
becomes a habit which is very difficult from them to get over with.
Teenage Solution a Hyderabad Based NGO run by Dr. Lalitha Anand took this initiative to deal with this subject
she then approached
Director Jennifer Alphonse to come out with a
video which can visually put the point across to the teenagers in a subtle way
Jennifer Alphonsse who had earlier won 3 Nandi Awards and several International Awards, her
short films and documentaries have already had rounds at Cannes
and many other International Film Festivals across the globe,
started to pen down her thoughts on this issue,
felt that “when you are influenced by a third person, they start to control ur emotions and you just become a puppet in their hands..” thats when she thought of using a puppet in the video, to interpret how we allow others to pull our strings
the idea was instantly liked by Dr.Lalitha, but to put such a point across to the public and especially the teenagers it was very important as to who will be the face of the video ?!
thats when they thought of approching Actor Venkatesh, who after hearing the script willing accepted to come on board
thats how the video was
, and its was released on November 14th Children’s Day,
went Viral, with in 48hrs the video shot up to 1lac views
gaining positive response
from
like Rana Daggubati
tweeted about the video
number are only increasing with every passing day,
