Ramakrishna Prasad. Shooting was launched after performing puja by Smt. Dasari Padma. The couple formally handed over the script to the technicians. Director Bharath said that his association with Dasari would stretch back to years, working for more than 35 films in the direction department. He said the movie’s major plus point is seriousness in the story. Though the script was ready, long wait took place for want of the correct heroine, on the lines of the female lead in Osei Ramulamma. After much study, Mumaith Khan was selected. The script is a perfect fit for her, he added. The movie is planned as Vijayadasami release. Music is by Vandemataram Srinvias.
