It is challenge to do Pandurangadu: Balakrishna
"Raghavendra Rao gaaru directed excellent devotional films - Annamayya and Sri Ramadasu - in the past but Pandurangadu is different from them. For, Pandurangadu is based on hugely popular film done by my father Late NTR. It is a classic. So making this film is a challenge. Pandurangadu has similarities to that classic yet differs from it. We have Lord Krishna character and roles of Satyabhama, Rukhmini and Narada which you don't find in Panduranga Mahatyam. You would see Raghavendra Rao’s Midas Touch once again. He shot so beautifully," Balakrishna said.
He also informed that the audio will be released on April 27th at Panduranga Swamy temple near Munginapudi beach, Machilipatnam.
I am doing impossible task: K Vishwanath
Veteran director K Vishwanth does the role of Balakrishna's father in this movie. "The role is originally played by great actor Chittoor Nagaiah. I was offered to recreate the magic. It is really impossible task. It would be foolish to say that I would recreate what the great actor enacted but I tried my best not to spoil the character," Vishwanath said.
Producer Krishnamohan hoped that the film would become huge success. "On our RK Associates banner, we earlier made a film with Balayya - Apoorva Sahodarulu. It was a big success. We hope to repeat the same," he hoped.
