A Grand \u201cKotha Cinema\u201d \u2018Why in Hyderabad, Why Not in Our Place\u2019 Event Held in the Presence of Several Directors and Producers<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The Film Is All Set for a Grand Theatrical Release Soon<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Proving that cinema does not belong only to cities but also lives in every village, debut director Azhar has created the locally made film \u201cKotha Cinema\u201d with local talent. Remarkably, the film introduces around 100 new talents to the Telugu film industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starring Suresh and Rakesh in the lead roles, the film has Azhar handling the story, screenplay, direction, dialogues, and editing. Mohammed Wasim Akram, Sagi Sudheer Rao, and Yadandla Satish Yadav are producing the film. \u201cKotha Cinema\u201d is gearing up for a grand theatrical release soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday evening, the film\u2019s \u2018Why in Hyderabad, Why Not in Our Place\u2019 event was held grandly in Hyderabad, with several prominent directors and producers attending as guests.<\/span><\/p>\n

DOP Johnny Basha<\/span> said, \u201cThe reason we have come all the way from Godavarikhani to Hyderabad is because of your support. Azhar identified the talent in each person and gave them an opportunity. He also trained those who were new to the field. He has made a good film that audiences will enjoy. He is going to prove that sincerity towards one\u2019s work will definitely lead to success. I request everyone to support our Kotha Cinema.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Music director Peddapalli Rohith<\/span> said, \u201cThank you to all the distinguished guests who came to this event to support our Kotha Cinema. I got the opportunity to create good music for this film, and I thank Azhar for giving me that opportunity. The music of this movie will definitely appeal to everyone.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Actor Rakesh<\/span> said, \u201cI took leave from work and came here for our film. I request my manager and other officers to continue supporting me until the release of this film. We are all newcomers who came together to make a new film. If we want to establish ourselves in this industry, we need everyone\u2019s support.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Actor Suresh<\/span> said, \u201cI never even dreamed that a day would come when I could say that I played the main role in a film. Azhar gave me that opportunity. People should not think that making a film is easy. Only those who actually make a film know how difficult it is. Azhar faced many challenges and completed this movie. If people like you, who have already achieved so much, stand by us, newcomers like us can also gain recognition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Critic Challa Srinivas<\/span> said, \u201cWhen I saw the poster of this film, I called Madura Sreedhar and asked him who this young man named Azhar was because the poster looked very impressive. Organic cinema has now become a genre that everyone likes. I believe Azhar has made a natural and authentic film of that kind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Director Azhar<\/span> said, \u201cWe initially thought that nobody would support newcomers. But I sincerely thank everyone who has supported our film so much. I am grateful to all the guests who came to our event when we invited them. Cinema is one of the most powerful mediums in the world. With this film, I have taken my first step towards creating an impactful film.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI always wanted to have the satisfaction of completing something every day. Instead of approaching other producers with my story, I decided to produce the film myself. When I said that I was new and wanted to give opportunities to other newcomers as well, nobody believed us. But we conducted auditions in our own village and selected talented people.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey say, \u2018Try building a house, and try getting married.\u2019 Similarly, the journey of making this film came with numerous challenges, but we overcame them and reached this stage. We will soon come before you with a theatrical release. I request everyone to continue giving us the same support.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Director and producer Tammareddy Bharadwaja<\/span> said, \u201cAzhar has not only titled the film Kotha Cinema, meaning \u2018New Cinema,\u2019 but has also made a genuinely new attempt. This may well be the first film made entirely with male artistes. Making a film involves a lot of expenditure, and getting artistes is not easy either. That is why Azhar went back to his hometown, identified talented people there, trained them, and made the film locally. I believe he must have made a wonderful film. I wish this movie brings him great recognition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Director and producer N. Shankar<\/span> said, \u201cEveryone has a talent within them. Azhar has proved his talent by making this film. He and his technicians come from the Singareni coal-mining region, where people work hundreds of metres underground. I believe they have made a natural and good film. It is commendable that Azhar has given opportunities to so many newcomers through this project. I hope Kotha Cinema truly lives up to its title and impresses audiences with something new.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
