Satya: Naresh’s son Nawin Vijaya Krishna turns director for Sai Dharam Tej, Swathi Reddy’s short; here’s the teaser

After tasting success with the mystical thriller Virupaksha and sharing screenspace with Pawan Kalyan in Bro, Sai Dharam will be seen in a musical short titled Satya. The latter will be launched commemorating Independence Day, where he’ll be sharing screenspace alongside (Colors) Swathi Reddy. The teaser of the short was unveiled earlier this week.

The biggest surprise element for Satya is its director - Nawin Vijaya Krishna, son of veteran actor Naresh. Nawin had earlier made a mark as an actor in films like Nandini Nursing Home, Oorantha Anukuntunnaru; Satya is his first tryst with direction. Balagam producers Harshith Reddy and Hanshitha Reddy bankrolled this short under Dil Raju Productions.

The Soul of Satya takes off with a marriage sequence of Sai Dharam Tej and Swathi Reddy where they lock themselves in an embrace. Meher Kilaru, the CEO of Dil Raju Productions, has already stated that Satya is by far the best performance of Sai Dharam Tej and claims the director Nawin will be a true value addition to the Telugu film industry.

Popular singer Sruthi Ranjani is turning a music director for the short film, whose background score is composed by budding musician Saketh Komanduri. Balaji, who worked on the chartbuster music video Enjoy Enjaami and several other Youtube videos, forays into the Telugu market as a cinematographer. The makers say Satya is as emotional as Balagam.

Sai Dharam Tej is cast as a soldier in Satya and will depict the sacrifices that his wife needs to make for the country. The team is leaving no stone unturned to spread the word about the video. It’ll be interesting to see what Sai Dharam Tej and Swathi have to offer in their first on-screen appearance together. Swathi’s next release is Naveen Chandra’s Month of Madhu.
