Konda Krishnam Raju for Aditya Productions Banner is producing SRI RAMADASU, another Devotional Creativity from the combination of Raghavendra Rao and Nagarjuna after 'Annamayya'. Raghavendra Rao, Nagarjuna, Camera S. Gopalreddy, Konda Krishnamraju, M.M.keeravani, J.K.Bharavi, Pantham Nanaji attended the Pooja Ceremony and also a press meet was held at Jubilee Hills Ramalayam Temple to disclose the film details.
J.K.Bharavi said that I couldn't forget the happiness in the making of 'Annamayya' and the golden moments at the time of 'Sri Manjunatha'. Again I am very happy for the opportunity to work for 'Sri Ramadasu'. We got very good response for 'Annamayya' from the audience. 'Sri Ramadasu' will be a blockbuster, which is made from the combination of Raghavendra Rao, Nagarjuna and Music director M.M.Keeravani. We are trying hard to shape this as the best devotional movie. Annamayya is the first Vaggeyakaarudu and Pada Kavitha Pitamahudu where as Ramadasu is the one who introduced the Bhajana and also the one who first sang the Anandabhairavi ragam. He also said that the ninth generation of Ramadasu was there in Nelakondapalli. The story is made by extensively discussing with his generation and also the priests from Bhadrachalam. The movie will be completely of Raghavendra Rao style.
Swaravaani Keeravani said that the people who thought how Annamayya can be directed from the commercial movie director Raghavendra Rao making films like Gharana Mogudu and Adavi Donga and also Nagarjuna, how he can act in this devotional movie who acted in the films like Shiva. But now they say that Sri Ramadasu must be made from those two only where Nagarjuna as Ramadasu and Raghavendra Rao to direct. In the olden days Kings used to support arts, but today who are producing this movie also the same as of our Konda Krishnamraju. The curiosity and expectations of this film are very high. Totally 20 songs will be there in this movie. Anand Patra is helping me in this.
Nagarjuna said that god is one according to me. I used to pray to Lord Venkateswara Swamy when doing Annamayya and now I will pray to Rama by going to Bhadrachalam. He also said that these opportunities are due to Purva Janma Punyam.
Producer Konda Krishnamraju said that I am very happy to produce this golden movie. I am getting very response from the whole industry and others. While listening the story Akkineni Nageswara Rao said that this movie would be a great project. This movie is made with full commitment. Music sittings will be from April 17th in Bhadrachalam and the shooting will be started from July.
Raghavendra Rao said that the get up of Ramadasu is being painted by Bapu and Bhaskar and not yet finalized.
