Production house AVM launched its first Telugu film in many years, on May 2nd at Ramanaidu Studios. The film to be helmed by first timer Marthand K. Shankar (brother of popular editor Marthand K. Venkatesh) will star Varun Sandesh (of Happy Days fame) and Vimala Raman (of Abaddam fame) in the lead.
“I am proud that I am directing AVM’s 173rd production” director M.K.Shankar said “I was very nervous initially when narrating the story to Saravanan and Guhan. But just after the interval they agreed to the film. It was Pulla Reddy who introduced me to them. This film is an entertaining love story with family sentiments. We will begin regular shooting in June” the director also thanked his father and brother.
“This is my third film” leading actor Varun said “it feels awesome to be working for a big banner like AVM. I am thankful to the producer and director for choosing me as the hero of the film. My character in this film is unlike the ones that I have done in my previous two films.”
“It is as if we are re-entering the Telugu film industry with this film” producer Saravanan, whose last film in Telugu was the Venkatesh starrer Gemini, said “This is our 32nd Telugu film”.
Actress Vimala Raman, also spoke on the occasion. “I have worked in 11 films so far, including this one. Other than my Malayalam films I have also worked with K.Balachandar in the Tamil film Poi (that was dubbed into Telugu as Abaddam)”.
