Teja Cinema's film begins with Nithin as hero

The shooting of a film directed by AS Ravikumar Choudary and produced by C Kalyan and S Vijayanand on the banner of Teja Cinema with Nithin and Kaajal in the lead was launched at Annapurna Seven Acres studio in Hyderabad on Monday.

State minister Anam Ramnarayana Reddy gave the clap, while Real Star Srihari switched on the camera for the muhurat shot. Speaking to media, producer C Kalyan says, 'Ravikumr Choudary narrated a very good story. We got the artistes who would suit best to those characters and we also got excellent technicians for our movie. Nagababu, who played a key role in our recent movie 'Chandamama' is also playing a good role in this movie.

At the same time, Raghuvaran is playing another important role which would compete with Nagababu's character. Dr Sivaprasad is also playing a key role in this movie. We have already completed recording of two songs under the music direction of Chakri. There are a total of six songs in the film. The film would be a bigger hit than 'Yagnam' if our director sincerely moulds the subject on the celluloid. Moreover, the film would raise a good debate among the audiences about the point discussed in the film. We are planning to begin the regular shooting from September 6 and complete the film in a single schedule. We will release the film in December.' Director Ravikumar Choudary says, 'The subject would suit best to the body language of Nithin. It is a youthful love story and at the same time has all the elements that could attract the family audiences.' Kaajal says, 'I am playing the role of a girl who has independent feelings. I am confident that the role would earn me a good name.' Nagababu says, 'Proudcer Kalyan is not just making films but is continuing the process as a movement. The film industry would have a survival if more number of films are produced.' Nithin, co-producer Patsa Nagaraju also participated in the press briefing. Babumohan, LB Sriram, Venumadhav, Subhashini, Prabhavati, Chandrakanth are in the lead cast.
