Pushpaka Vimana
The film is dedicated to all fathers. It is the story of dad and daughter who are crazy about planes. The trailer of this movie, which was released recently, got thousands of hits and Ramesh Arvind’s performance is being much anticipated and praised by people. Pushpaka Vimana is set in the 80s, and Juhi’s song sequence perfectly fits the slot says the producer Vikhyat. He has splurged a huge amount to create the set for this song and art director Shivakumar worked hard to get the needed effect.
