RGV's Katha Screenplay Darsakathvam Appalaraju Launched - Photos, Videos and News

As it was reported earlier, the evergreen stunning beauty Sridevi and romantic hero Nagarjuna had launched Ram Gopal Varma’s forthcoming latest film ‘Katha Screenplay Darsakatvam Appalaraju’ that has comedian turned hero Sunil in the lead.

The film was formally launched today afternoon at Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. The movie launch event was attended by actress Sridevi, Akkineni Nagarjuna, Sumanth, Rana, and many other Telugu film fraternities.

Sources say that after a long gap of 12 years, RGV is going to wield the megaphone straight for a Telugu film. There is also a buzz that for the first time in this movie, a song will be canned on Sunil using 27 cameras. The regular shooting of the film will commence from September 1st. The movie is produced by Kiran Kumar Koneru under Shreya Productions banner, which earlier produced filma such as ‘Siddham’ and ‘Homam’.

RGV termed it an emotional moment and recalled how he got interested in movies only because of Sridevi. Not forgetting Nagarjuna for giving him the break in the industry, he conveyed his gratitude to both of them for attending the launch of his Telugu film.

One song, a satire on the bigwigs in the highly competitive industry and about the myriad number of hopefuls wanting to get a break as a filmmaker, drew attention as it was played, even as Ramgopal Varma hoped that Telugu film directors took it sportingly, as constructive criticism.

He said the movie held intensely personal moments of his journey to success. It would showcase the travails of those who believed that they were the best and pooh-poohed the successful directors.

While music for the film is scored by Koti, Y. Sudhakar Reddy will work behind the camera. Nagarjuna recalled how he was initially nervous opposite Sridevi in ‘Aakhari Poratam' and how she made him feel at ease. He also said he was game to do a film with RGV again. Sridevi heaped praise on him calling him the greater co-star she worked with, in her career.

Shooting in Australia and Hyderabad - Nagababu

Nagababu said, "Bommarillu Bhaskar is one of very few directors who show love and human emotions in an effective manner. This movie is the third film for both Ram Charan Tej and Bhaskar. We are using 'Orange' as working title for this movie. But the title is not official yet. Ram Charan Teja doesn't want to be typecast as a mass hero after the stupendous success of Magadheera. Hence he choose a subject of different genre. At the same time there will be a bit of action elements in this movie. The shooting will start in November in Hyderabad. We will go to Australia to shoot in December and January. Rest of the movie will be shot in Hyderabad later."

It's a feel good movie - Bommarillu Bhaskar

Bhaskar said, "It is a big responsibility to direct Ram Charan Tej after Magadheera. I am confident of fulfilling my responsibility. I was not tensed after watching Magadheera film. I felt that I am safe. The script of this movie will project Ram Charan Tej in entirely different way. It will be a good entertainer and a feel-good movie.I got good technical team and a supportive producer in the form of Nagababu. I am looking for hat-trick for me and Ram Charan with this movie."

Fabulous script and a challenging role - Ram Charan Tej

Ramcharan Tej said, "We decided on this project after 40 days of shoot of Magadheera movie. I knew that Magadheera would be a mass entertainer and I didn't want to remain as mass hero. That was the reason why I was particular that Bhaskar should direct my third movie. I want to do films from all genres. It's a fabulous script and challenging role for me. I hope that I will justify the script. This film will have all popular entertainment. Kiran Reddy who did cinematography for Ram Gopal Varma's Naach is doing for this movie. I am extremely comfortable with Nagababu outside my family members and spending time with him relieves you of all the stress. I am happy to be working in Anjana Productions."
