Vinayakudu sounds like the title of a devotional movie at first, but a look at the publicity stills assures us that this is a superb entertainer with a difference. Starring Sonia, of Happy Days fame, the movie’s soundtrack is being launched on September 3rd (Vinayak Chaturthi) on Aditya Music label.
Saikiran, Sekhar Kammula’s apprentice, makes his directorial debut in Vinayakudu. Prem Patra, whose Aa Naluguru was critically acclaimed is presenting the film, with Sarita Patra producing it under the Prem Movies banner. The film’s shooting was wrapped up and the post production is also in the final stages.
Prem Patra was quoted as saying, “The shooting and editing work has been completed and dubbing is going on now. Our director moulded the film in an attractive manner. Though we were forced to increase the budget due to the media attention, the film has turned out satisfactorily. Those who like novelty will definitely like this film. Sonia, who played Sravs in Happy Days, has given a stellar performance as Kalpana. What is Kalpana’s relationship with Vinayaka? There lies the suspense.”
The director said, “We started the film with a limited budget. However, the production cost went up with the media hype. The film has different elements like love and entertainment.”
Surya Teja, Jyothi, Adarsh, Muralikrishna and Poonam are part of the star supporting cast. National Award winner P.G. Vinda has done some excellent cinematography with music by Shyam Prasanna. Editing is by Marthand K. Venkatesh, lyrics are by Vanamali and Avinash; story, dialogues, screenplay and direction are by Saikiran.
