Pandaga Chesko Muhurat

Ram’s new film ‘Pandaga Chesuko’ to be directed by Gopichand Malineni and to be produced by Parachuri Kireeti under United Movies banner was launched on Saturday morning, May 17, 2014 at Film Nagar in Hyderabad. Director V V VInayak sounded the clap board for the muhurat shot and producer Dil Raju switched on the camera while the shot was directed by Boyapati Sreenu. Rakul Preet Singh is playing the female lead role.

Later addressing the press meet hero Ram said, “I’m very happy to launch a new film after a gap of one year. I was longing to work with director Gopichand for quite some time now. However, I missed the opportunity due to some reason or other. ‘Balupu’ is one of those films which I missed doing it. Similarly I’ve been trying to work with Prachuri Prasad since 2010. We waited for a good story and finally this story was narrated by Veligonda Srinivas during the making of ‘Masala’. I liked the story and approached producer Prasad. Rakul Preet Singh is a promising heroine. ‘Pandaga Chesuko’ will be a family entertainer.”

Director Gopichand Malineni said, “I’m very happy to do this film with a good title and good story. I was very impressed with the story narrated by Veligonda Srinivas. Screenplay is being provided by Kona Venkat and Anil Raavipudi. After ‘Balupu’, I’m getting the opportunity to work with reputed technicians like Thaman (music director), Wilson (cameraman), Gautham Raju (editor) and Ram-Lakshman (stunt masters) once again. Parachuri Prasad is coming with yet another interesting movie like ‘Padaga Chesuko’ after the blockbuster film ‘Simha’. The film will certainly create a festive mood to Ram fans. The character of Rakul Preet Singh in this film will also be energetic. Similarly the audience will see Brahmanandam in an entertaining role. Jagapathi Babu garu is playing a key role. ‘Pandaga Chesuko’ will turn out to be a good film for him as well. It’s a complete family movie that is aptly suitable to Ram’s body language.”

Producer Parachuri Prasad said, “The main reason for doing this film is the good story. I was excited to do the film from the time I heard this story. So far I produced six films. The technicians and artists worked in all those films are part of this film. I was longing to work with Gopichand Malineni since three years. Similarly I’ve been waiting to make a film with Ram since 2010. Finally this film is fulfilling my wish to work with both of them. While the audience is desperate to watch a good family entertainer, ‘Pandaga Chesuko’ is coming at the right time with the right script and right actors.”

Writer Veligonda Srinivas said, “I prepared this script with Ram in mind. I’ve been working with Gopichand right from the time of ‘Don Seenu’. Kona Venkat is providing the screenplay. The basic plot of the film is while several of them break the family bonding and migrate to foreign countries to earn money, a millionaire returns back to India and what he does after that forms the rest of the story of ‘Pandaga Chesuko’.”

Music director Thaman expressed his happiness to work once again for yet another good commercial entertainer. He also said that he is glad to work with technicians like Kona Venkat, Veligonda Srinivas and Anil Raavipudi. In his words, “This is my third film with director Gopichand and hero Ram as well. It’s also my second film with producer Parachuri Prasad. Going by the script I can 100% assure that this film will become a hit.”

Heroine Rakul Preet Singh said, “Pandaga Chesuko is a good family entertainer. I thank Parachuri Prasad garu and Gopichand Malineni garu for giving me an opportunity to be part of this film. I know about Ram’s energy. So I’m excited to work with him and dance with him for Thaman’s fast beats.”

Several others from film industry who attended the film muhurat offered their best wishes to the unit members.
