Merlapaka Gandhi said, “While making Maestro, we knew that we wanted to keep the plotline similar to Andhadhun. We want to offer Telugu audiences a gripping story of this calibre that has never been attempted before by any maker in the Telugu industry, with multiple twists and turns. Our audiences love a gripping suspense thriller, and this film exploring the dark comedy genre offers exactly that. The plot and the journey of each character are promising enough to keep the viewers engaged and on the edge of their seats throughout.”
Talking about his character in Maestro, actor Nithiin said, “I am a fan of how Ayushmann portrayed the leading part in Andhadhun and managed to keep the suspense alive throughout with his craft. When I was offered the chance to do Maestro, I knew I had to be a part of it, simply because of the complexities of my character in the film and doing this with Merlapaka Gandhi made the experience even more enriching. He has a clear vision for his characters in the film. As viewers, we love watching films that keep us engaged and on the edge of our seats; with Maestro, we believe that we have achieved that. I am glad that the audiences will be able to enjoy the film soon on Disney+ Hotstar.”
Tamannaah added, “I am super kicked for Maestro to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar! I love experimenting with versatile roles and in Maestro, I have once again expanded my range as an actor. Portraying grey shades on screen can be challenging because it pushes your boundaries, but I thoroughly love such a challenge! I have never played a role like this one before! Merlapaka Gandhi was a brilliant guide in helping me envision my character. While this role has already been essayed by Tabu in Andhadhun, I have interpreted this character in my own way, and I hope the audience loves it.”
The official synopsis of the film reads, “Arun, a talented pianist in Goa, has a little secret of his own. He fakes being blind to improve his piano skills. A chance encounter with the gorgeous Sophie lands him an opportunity at her father's diner. At the diner, a popular but retired actor Mohan, notices Arun and invites him over to his house to give a private performance on a special occasion. Arun arrives at the actor's flat and Mohan's wife Simi opens the door. Arun then unwittingly becomes a witness to a crime he should not have seen. Arun tries to report the crime to the police but discovers to his shock that that would also expose his own lies and pose a greater threat to him. It is a catch 22 situation for Arun who gets entangled in a web of crime and deceit and what follows is a laugh and thrill riot.”
