Skanda: Nee Chuttu Chuttu is a superb showcase of Sid Sriram’s range, Ram Pothineni, Sreeleela’s dance moves

Ram Pothineni has always been a director’s delight in terms of his range as a performer - not only can he dance well, but he’s equally adept at emotions, comedy, action and coming up with massy performances. It’s just the cocktail a filmmaker needs, more so for someone like Boyapati Sreenu, who churns out mass vehicles with utmost conviction year after year.

The actor-director duo is teaming up for Skanda, which is releasing worldwide on September 15. Sreeleela plays the female lead in the film whose shoot was completed recently. Srinivasaa Chitturi, who recently backed The Warriorr, Custody, is bankrolling the film under Srinivasaa Silver Screen in collaboration with ZEE Studios. After the first glimpse, a new song Nee Chuttu Chuttu was launched today.

Sid Sriram, Sanjana Kalmanje have sung the party track written by Raghuram and choreographed by Prem Rakshith. S Thaman is composing the music for the album. While one associates Sid Sriram for his feel-good melodies with a classical touch, Thaman explores a different dimension of the singer for the peppy, superbly orchestrated, well-shot number.

‘Nee Chuttu Chuttu Chuttu Tirigina..Naa Chitti Chitti Chitti Gundenadigina.. Naa Dhimma Tirige Bomma Evaridante Ninnu Chooputhondhigaa..,’ the song’s opening lines offer a hint of its lyrical flavour. The effort is to appeal to gen-Z - everything from the jazzy production design to the cinematography and the dance moves of the lead stars work in favour of the song.

The expectations are high from a dance number when Ram and Sreeleela come together and Nee Chuttu Chuttu doesn’t disappoint at all. Santosh Detake cranks the camera for the project while Tammiraju is the editor. Pavan Kumar is presenting the film. The film will be out in five languages - Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
