Sushanth's Kalidasu ready for release

Sushanth, one more screen-heir of Dr. ANR, gets ready to hit the marquee in and as Kalidasu. Produced by Chintalapudi Srinivas and A. Naga Susheela, it is directed by debutant G. Ravicharan Reddy. Annapurna Studios presents the flick on the newly-floated Sri Nag Corporation banner. Producers of the film today briefed the media about the latest position of the film.

They said that Kalidasu would bring happiness to one and all. “We saw six series of the demos of Sushanth, after he got thoroughly trained in a Mumbai film institute. We are excited about his performance with multiple shades. After we finished the film, we got great confidence on the project. The hero in fact did perform as if he were six-movies old. Nagarjuna’s timely suggestions and timely planning of the schedules worked out well. As long as the shoot was going on, we didn’t feel any strain. Each of the six schedules lasted between 10 and 15 days, as against our original planning of finishing the project in three months. The subject of the film has social relevance. The students would identify them in the character of Kalidasu. There is good response to the songs, as each of the lyric has a concept and meaning. Director Ravicharan Reddy handled the project with dexterity thanks to his experience in the schools of Selvamani and Priyadharshan. Heroine Tamanna will carry forward the jolly mood with which she enthralled one and all – into Kalidasu.”

When asked about the newly-floated production house – Sri Nag Corporation – Srinivas said: “The banner has a specialty. While Nag comes from Nageswara Rao and Nagarjuna, just I affixed the first syllable of my name Sri to it. Kalidasu will be released through Suresh Productions. Nag suggested us to take up the publicity in a different style, which we did to good results. The advertisement campaign – Puli Raja ku Aids Vasthunda? – inspired us in this regard.”

Naga Susheela said: “As a mother, I tried to divert the attention of Sushanth from the film industry, but he couldn’t. Later, I was convinced with his interest and allowed him to enter the film industry.”
