Moving away from horror
∝After the immense success of Kanchana and Kanchana-2, Raghava Lawrence is now shooting for his next film, Motta Siva Ketta Siva, which is adapted from a Telugu film. “Director Sai Ramani has scripted a unique combination of action and humour to suit Tamil film audiences, in which I play a police officer. Since As we intend the aim is to attract family audiences, the adaptation has been done infusing the necessary elements, such as family sentiments, relationships, and romance,” says Raghava Lawrence.
The film has another 20-day schedule to be completed, which will include the filming of four songs, says Lawrence.
Sanam awaits her Sawaari
∝How many of you remember the NRI girl who falls for Mahesh Babu in the Telugu film Srimanthudu? Sanam Shetty, who played that role, is excited about her next film in Tamil, titled Sawaari. “I play the love interest of the hero (Benito, who plays a cop) in Sawaari. The love story leads to the wedding, but the whole story begins on the day of the wedding, and therefore, there will be twists and turns that are unpredictable and hilarious as well,” she says.
The actress has just wrapped up Premikudu in Telugu, which is scheduled for an April release. “I play the lead in Premikudu, and it’s a rom-com. I’m starting another film in Tamil, which is a horror-comedy.
