Lakshmi Soujanya serves as the executive producer. The trailer of the film was released on Saturday at a special event held in Hyderabad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Speaking at the event, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">actress Rohini Molleti<\/span> said, \u201cI made my debut with Court. I always feel happy to present meaningful stories to the audience. I\u2019m now coming with Oka Manchi Prema Katha, a story written beautifully by Volga Garu. I\u2019ve always admired Kutumba Rao Garu\u2019s film Thodu, and I\u2019m glad he is making another film after so many years. It feels wonderful to act again with Rohini Garu after so long. My character in this film may surprise or even shock the audience. Radha Krishnan\u2019s music is deeply touching\u2014I actually shed tears while watching the film. Everyone has given remarkable performances. My thanks to Samuthirakani Garu for supporting us immediately, and to the ETV Win team for taking the film forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Veteran actress Rohini Hattangadi<\/span> said , \u201cAbout twenty years ago, Kutumba Rao Garu and Volga Garu approached me for a film, but it didn\u2019t materialize then. When they narrated this story, I immediately agreed. Knowing that Rohini would also be part of it made me even happier. We acted together earlier in a Malayalam film. I truly loved this story. It touched my heart. My thanks to Kutumba Rao Garu and Volga Garu for making me part of such a wonderful movie, and to ETV Win for releasing it. Oka Manchi Prema Katha has found the perfect OTT platform.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Producer Himansu Popuri<\/span> shared , \u201cI instantly connected with the story of Oka Manchi Prema Katha. I even played a small role in the film. It has turned out beautifully, and I\u2019m confident everyone will love it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Writer Volga<\/span> said , \u201cI initially wrote this as a short story, but many suggested it should be made into a film. Himanshu was determined to produce it, and Rohini Molleti has been associated with it since the early stages. Having Rohini Hattangadi join us was a delight. Despite his busy schedule, Samuthirakani Garu gave us his time. We were fortunate to find artists who genuinely believed in making a meaningful film. It\u2019s also a blessing that ETV Win picked up our movie. From 1985 to 2017, my novels were featured in Chatura, and I worked for years with Usha Kiran Movies, so having my film appear on ETV Win feels nostalgic. Though senior artists are part of it, this story speaks to today\u2019s generation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Director Akkineni Kutumba Rao<\/span> said , \u201cIn filmmaking, the script is as essential as the artists, and the technicians are equally vital. Gummadi Garu\u2019s health didn\u2019t permit him to act in Thodu, so decades later, I approached Rohini Hattangadi Garu for this film. Without Rohini Molleti Garu, this project wouldn\u2019t have moved forward. Despite his busy schedule, Samuthirakani Garu supported us. Madhu Ambat, Radha Krishnan, and Lenin were all crucial in shaping this film. Volga Garu gave us a meaningful story, dialogues, and songs. People today run after wealth but often neglect their parents. I made this film to provoke thought in audiences. It entertains and moves you, without a dull moment. I\u2019m happy that our film will stream on ETV Win. My thanks to Prabhu Garu for being here for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Oka Manchi Prema Katha Trailer\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/A5yPzuE9NmE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Music director K. M. Radha Krishnan<\/span> said , \u201cThis is a beautiful film. The story moved me deeply. Kutumba Rao Garu has brought it to life even beyond what I imagined. Olga Garu\u2019s lyrics and dialogues are exceptional. They reminded me of Veturi Garu\u2019s depth. Watching the re-recording gave me a soothing experience. Producer Himanshu performed his role well. Both Rohini Molleti and Rohini Hattangadi have given outstanding performances. In today\u2019s fast-paced lives, we often miss our parents and children. This movie will resonate with everyone who feels that void. It upholds essential family values and deserves recognition at national and international levels. I thank the team for giving me this opportunity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Senior Journalist Prabhu<\/span> said , \u201cKutumba Rao Garu has always made films with profound values, and Volga Garu\u2019s writings consistently highlight important themes. With talented actors like Rohini Molleti and Rohini Hattangadi, Oka Manchi Prema Katha is a film made with heart and integrity. Hats off to Himansu Garu for producing such a meaningful project, and to ETV Win for promoting films that emphasize values. I feel proud to share the stage with such remarkable people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ETV representative Sandhya<\/span> said , \u201cOka Manchi Prema Katha is not just a film. It\u2019s a story relevant to today\u2019s generation. Everyone will see reflections of themselves in it. Watch it when it premieres on ETV Win on October 16.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">ETV representative Nithin<\/span> stated , \u201cIt\u2019s an honor to share the stage with so many veterans. When we think of grandmother roles, Rohini Hattangadi comes to mind, and for mother roles, it\u2019s Rohini Molleti. We thank Kutumba Rao Garu for giving us such a meaningful film and are glad that Radha Krishnan Garu is back with us. Thanks to Sandhya Garu for making this film part of ETV Win. Oka Manchi Prema Katha will stream from October 16th, do watch it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Actress Soumya<\/span> said , \u201cI got this wonderful opportunity because of Lakshmi Soujanya Garu.
