Sri Sravanthi Movies production No. 11 has launched a new film with Ram and Genelia as lead pair uner Surender Reddy’s direction. The film launch took place today morning at Rama Naidu film studios. The muhurat shot on the lead pair was directed by Ravi Teja, while Dasari Narayana Rao tapped the clapboard and Shyam Prasad Reddy switched on the camera. To be presented by Ram’s brother Krishna Chaitanya, the regular shooting will begin from May 1st.
The film launch was graced by D Ramanaidu, Dasari Narayana Rao, Tammareddy Bharadwaja, Ravi Teja, Parachuri Venkateswara Rao, Gemini Kiran, Koti, Sravanti Ravi Kishore, Ram, Ganesh Babu, Surender Reddy, Sukumar, Chakri, Ali, Duvvasi Mohan, etc.
According to Sravanti Ravi Kishore this is going to be a huge budget film under Sri Sravanthi Movies banner for which he has joined with Ram for the third consecutive time.
Director Surender Reddy said, “It’s my fifth film which I’m confident that it will be the best of all movies that I directed so far. For the first time I’m working with Peter Hynes as well as Chakri. Ram and me share the same kind of energy.”
Dialogue writer Kona Venkat said, “I’ve worked with Ram and Ravi Kishore for ‘Ready’ and happy to join them again for this flick. Hero character resembles that of Surender Reddy’s in real life.”
“I’m very lucky to have my uncle who produces films with me. I like Surender Reddy’s style of directing the films because he uses latest technology in his films. We were supposed to work together after ‘Athidi’ but that project did not materialize that time”, says Ram.
Chakri says, “This is the third time I am going to compose music for Ram. It’s pretty challenging to work with him as he is an energetic dances.”
