There was a time when horror-comedies had a minimum-guarantee success rate in Telugu cinema - films like Prema Katha Chitram, Geethanjali, Chandrakala were trend setters in the genre and were widely viewed on television too. After sequels to Prema Katha Chitram and Chandrakalam, audiences will now get to watch the second instalment to Geethanjali, headlined by Anjali.
The sequel to Geethanjali, titled Geethanjali Malli Vachindhi, was formally launched in Hyderabad.

Sujatha Siddharth is the cinematographer for the same. Bhanu Bogavarapu is also one of the writers. The film is expected to go on floors shortly. Geethanjali, directed by Raja Kiran, completed its nine-year release anniversary recently.
The story of Geethanjali revolves around Sreenu(Srinivas Reddy), a film aspirant, who is desperate for an opportunity in the industry. He rents a flat in an an apartment along with his friend, only realise that it is haunted. A series of supernatural events scare the daylights of Sreenu’s flat mates. They later meet Anjali and share a warm rapport with her. However, their life takes a turn for the worse when they realise a shocking truth about her.
