Filmmaker Satish Kasetty, who helmed the national-award-winning film Hope and went onto direct films like Kalavaramaye Madhilo and Terror, is back in action for a new film. An announcement about the new project will be officially made tomorrow at 11 am. Going by the confirmation today, the film will have two female leads. This project will mark the return of Kasetty to Telugu cinema after a six-year-long sabbatical. His last film, Terror, starring Srikanth and Nikhita Thukral, had hit theatres in 2016.

More interesting are the details surrounding the film’s producers. A pioneer in the animation industry, Rajiv Chilaka of Green Gold Animation, the brain behind the iconic Chhota Bheem, is bankrolling the film in collaboration with writer, lyricist Lakshmi Bhupal. This is the first production of Lakshmi Bhupal, who has been a frequent collaborator with Satish Kasetty in the past. The untitled film will be produced by One More Hero Media in association with Lakshmi Bhupala Entertainment.

Bharath Laxmipathi of Green Gold Animation is also involved in the production. The banner is also teaming up with actor Allari Naresh for their third production to be helmed by Ram Ankam. The project, which has dialogues by Abburi Ravi, will have music by Gopi Sundar. Chota K Naidu cranks the camera. The makers had announced the project commemorating Allari Naresh’s birthday recently. Meanwhile, it’ll be exciting to see how the Satish Kasetty directorial pans out.

For the uninitiated, Satish Kasetty has ample experience in the advertising arena and is a gifted painter, whose artworks have been showcased across several galleries over the years. He has a refined taste with respect to cinema and storytelling and is very picky about the subjects of the scripts. Hence, one can be assured that a minimum guarantee-product is heading our way this year. More details about the project will be unveiled tomorrow.
