Samuthirakani is certainly the toast of the season in Telugu cinema. Be it films made on shoe-string budgets or mass films or supporting roles or a baddie, this is a phase where you can spot him in every second Telugu film that hits theatres. After impressing audiences with his menacing avatars in films like Bheemla Nayak, Dongalunnaru Jagratha, Sarkaru Vaari Paata and Godfather recently, it's official that'll be part of Swathimuthyam actor Ganesh Bellamkonda's next film titled Nenu Student Sir!
In Nenu Student Sir, Samuthirakani has been cast as a cop yet again. He essays a character named Arjun Vasudevan in the film, the father of the female lead (Avantika Dassani as Sruthi Vasudevan). There's a huge bunch of students protesting in the backdrop as the veteran dons a khaki offering a stern expression. Needless to say, Samuthirakani's casting is quite apt for the role.
Bankrolled by Naandhi fame Satish Varma under SV2 Entertainment, the film is directed by a first-time filmmaker Rakesh Uppalapati. Nenu Student Sir is an action thriller driven by a unique plot with Krishna Chaitanya penning the story. It was also recently announced that Bhagyashree's daughter Avantika Dassani will play the female lead in the project that also stars Sunil, Srikanth Iyengar, Auto Ramprasad, Charandeep, Pramodhini, Ravi Sivateja and others.
The shoot of Nenu Student Sir has been wrapped up already. Anith Madhadi cranks the camera and Mahati Swara Sagar, who also composed for Ganesh's Swathimuthyam,is the music director. Chota K Prasad is the editor of the film which has dialogues by Kalyan Chakravarthy. Raghu Master is the choreographer and Ramkrishnan is the stunt director.
