Coming from a banner which is well-known for good cinema, the film-maker is confident of garnering the patronage of movie buffs. “It is an out-and-out comedy and a family-entertainer; it is a story of two friends who are more ambitious than they have brains and how they land up on the Moon. Every character has a streak of unadulterated humour in this film, even one who has a villainous undertone is humorous. L.B. Sriram, Krishna Bhagawan, Rao Ramesh and Ahuthi Prasad - they all have played an important part besides, Avasarala Srinivas and Harish with Dhanya Balakrishnan” Gangaraju Gunnam says.
Between ‘Little Soldiers’ and now ‘Amrutham - Chandamama lo’, Gangaraju has produced three more films – ‘Aithe’ (2003), Anukokunda Okaraju (2005) and ‘Katha’ (2009) and wielded the megaphone for one movie (‘Amma Cheppandi’ in 2007), so while this is th sixth film for him as a producer, it is his third as director.
