Actor Mathew Thomas is gearing up for the release of his film Lovely, which is scheduled to hit the big screen on May 16. The story centers on Mathew’s character and a talking housefly, drawing comparisons to SS Rajamouli’s 2012 film Eega. However, in a recent interview, the actor clarified that Lovely is different from Eega.

In an interview with Onmanorama, Mathew said, “It’s definitely a different kind of movie. A housefly that talks, the conversations between my character and the fly, their bond, it’s a lot of fun. It’s a lighthearted, feel-good film.”

Following the release of Lovely’s trailer, the film has drawn comparisons to SS Rajamouli’s Eega, starring Nani, Sudeep, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. However, Mathew Thomas clarified that the similarities end with the presence of a housefly.”There is absolutely no connection between Eega and Lovely. Eega was more of an action-thriller. The fly in that film had a hero vibe. Ours is nothing like that. The housefly in Lovely is literally called Lovely—and like the name suggests, she’s sweet, a bit mischievous, and just… lovely,” he said.

It features a lot of different moments. Hence, it won’t be easy to predict how the movie is going to unfold. You can rest assured that Udumbanchola Vision will offer an exciting, edge-of-the-seat experience.”
