Great Ocean Entertainments who earlier gave a superhit film 'Mantra' is once again coming up with yet another suspense thriller 'Diary'. With Sivaji in lead role, 'Diary' was launched today at Ramanaidu Studios. Machakanti Ramakrishna is being introduced as a director. Ram Prasad tapped the clap board while Sagar switched on the camera and S V Krishna Reddy directed the first shot.

Speaking to media Sivaji said that his role in 'Diary' is entirely different from that of 'Mantra'. He added, "It took for about one year to prepare the script of this project as we wanted to maintain the same standard to that of 'Mantra'. This is a thriller film with good comedy elements. I'm happy to again work with music director Anand who gave very good music for 'Mantra'. I hope this film will be as successful as 'Mantra'.

Producer Kalyanram while speaking said that the success of 'Mantra' gave his the energy to make yet another film with the same theme. I'm confident about director Ramakrishna's capabilities. We are making this film taking into consideration the taste of the general audience.

Director Machakanti Ramakrishna said that he had earlier assisted the directors like S V Krishna Reddy, T Prabhakar and so on. Now he is committed to the producers of 'Mantra' who handed over this project to him trusting his abilities. "Arun's way of narrating the story has impressed all of us," said he.

Story writer Arun said that taking a small point he had created a story. That story is being made into a film called 'Diary'.

Heroine Sradha Das said that her role is a glamorous yet funny.
