A new film which is being produced by VEVKDS Prasad under VR Chalana Chitra banner, has been launched on Saturday in Hyderabad. Jonathan Edwards is being introduced as director. Vijay Ram and Shivshakti Sachdev are the lead pair. After performing formal Pooja, director Sukumar sounded the clap board for the muhurat shot. Telangana Public Service Commission member K Rammohan Reddy switched on the camera, while actor Naresh directed it. Producers Thomas Reddy and Vijay Prasad presented the script.
Later in the press meet, Sukumar said, “I have strong connection with the producer Prasad since the days when I was working as lecturer. We worked together for the same college. We both have passion on films. Prasad is turning into producer through this film. Rasool Ellore stood as an inspiration in the starting days of my cine career. His films such as ‘Gayam’ and ‘Okariki Okaru’ are my favourite films. Director Jonathan Edwards is very much influenced by Ram Gopal Varma. He is carving this with a different love story. I have suggested Rathan as music director for this film. I am extremely confident that this film will stand out as a good film.”
“Sukumar and I have 25 years long relationship. We are making the film with an amazing story and screenplay. The film will be a blend of all entertaining elements which will impress the whole family audience,” said producer Prasad.
“Without Sukumar we wouldn’t have started this film. I was selected to direct this film after getting through all tests conducted by Sukumar. I am very happy that cameraman Rasool Ellore has accepted to work for this film. This is a love story which also has given importance to family values. It goes in the lines of feel good entertainers like ‘Gulabi’, ‘Geetanjali’ and ‘Sakhi’. Regular shooting will commence from the end of this month and the entire shooting will be wrapped up in two schedules. Shooting will take place in Hyderabad. I am sure the film will stand out as a best film in the hearts of Telugu audience for long time,” said director Jonathan Edwards.
Hero and heroine expressed their happiness for being part of such a wonderful film and working with an excellent team. They said that the film has ample scope to perform.
