Special appearance

As we watched closely it was not the heroines matching steps with Nagarjuna but it was Charmee. “She makes a special appearance for this song which is conceived by the director as part of the wholesome entertainer.

This is my tenth film with Nagarjuna and we started our careers at the same time and both of us recently completed 25 years in films,” said the producer with a twinkle in his eyes.

Nagarjuna is completely at ease while dancing with the bubbly Charmee. He is cast as a man from Rayalaseema who comes to the city to avenge the wrongs done to his family.

“For the first time in my career, I will be delivering my dialogue in Rayalaseema accent. It is a typical entertainer on the lines of Hello Brother. . It is a non-stop entertainer,” said the versatile actor during the break.

Siva Prasad Reddy adds that the film is a perfect blend of all the elements of a commercial blockbuster – action, comedy, romance, emotions and music while Veeru said it is a mass film with a class touch.

“Nag's role looks very natural as the character he plays in the movie is also as cool as he in real life.”

Siva Prasad Reddy sounded pleased when he shared that perhaps he is the only producer to make films starring the father and son simultaneously. “I am also making a film with Naga Chaitanya on a very huge scale. Kajal plays the heroine and the film directed by Ajay is also progressing simultaneously along with this movie.”

The unit is leaving for Jordan and Bangkok to film a couple of songs and some action part for the Nagarjuna starrer.

The producer is in search of a suitable title though they have a couple of them in mind.

The impressive start cast includes – Kota Srinivasa Rao, Brahmanandam, Pradeep Rawat, Dev Gill, Dharamvarapu Subrahmanyam, Supreeth, Raghu Babu, Master Bharath and Sana.

Most of the Nag's films which released in December made a killing at the box office.

And, Reddy too shared the success a couple of times. “We will be shooting in continuous schedules to release the movie on December 17,” said Siva Prasad Reddy.
