Nadezhda Vasilyeva, the widow of director Alexei Balabanov, said in an interview with socialbites.ca that Valery Pereverzev is not worried about the release of the movie Brother-3. Rapper Ptah (real name David Nuriev), one of the film’s actors, previously said that “Brother-3” will premiere in the fall of 2023. According to Vasilyeva, it is “below her dignity” to think about why the film received such a title.
“I don’t care! I worry a lot more about other things going on in our country. And it doesn’t matter to me in general. I don’t think about that at all, it’s my honor to think about who wants to do what. And second, you know, people are still interested in that even in such a delusional way. And if he’s worried, so be it. Anyway, it’s hilarious.”
Formerly rapper Ptah declaration The media for which the film “Brother-3”, directed by Valery Pereverzev, received a lease certificate. There was no confirmation of this information from the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. Nuriev noted that “Brother-3” will not be a continuation of Alexei Balabanov’s dilogy of the same name. The artist called it “immoral” to copy the famous franchise and look for a replacement for the late Sergei Bodrov, the lead actor of the films “Brother” and “Brother-2”.
There is also a reference to Balabanov’s painting in the teaser of the movie “Brother-3”. In the video, Nureyev’s hero asks the man, “Well, tell me, gypsies, what is the truth?” He addresses his question. Another hero told him “in real force, this is a new life!”
