The upcoming film ‘Manima’, under the banner of Sri Films & Productions, was officially launched with traditional pooja ceremonies on Sunday morning at Annapurna Studios. Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka attended the event as the chief guest.
Directed by Naveen Nalamasa and produced by Amaresh Chandra Sarangi, the film features Prithvi Sai Dandamudi, Jisshu Sengupta, Kabir Duhan Singh and Bobby Mishra in prominent roles.
Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka sounded the clapboard for the film’s cast. Director Bhimaneni Srinivasa Rao switched on the camera, while renowned singer Vande Mataram Srinivas directed the first shot. Producer Amaresh Chandra Sarangi handed over the script to the film’s director.
Director Naveen Nalamasa said, “We are making this film as a mythological action thriller against the backdrop of Lord Jagannath Swamy. The first schedule will commence at Ramoji Film City on the 16th of this month. We have planned two schedules in Hyderabad and one in Odisha. Our aim is to release the film during the Puri Jagannath Rath Yatra in July next year. Around 30% of the film will feature VFX.”
Producer Amaresh Chandra Sarangi said, “This is my first film in Telugu cinema. I have previously produced a film in Odia, and now I am making my debut as a producer in the Telugu film industry with this project. I seek everyone’s support and blessings. I am a devotee of Lord Jagannath Swamy, and that is why I wanted my debut Telugu film to be based on Him. We are planning to release the film in Telugu, Hindi, Odia and Bengali.”
