'Aapadamokkulavaadu' shoots at Duggirala

Noted writer and artiste Posani Krishnamurali turned a director with 'Sravana Maasam' but the film proved a big dud. However, he worked with renewed vigour and brought out 'Operation Duryodhana' and that film had successfully completed 100 days in 11 centres and celebrated the centenary.

Presently, he is making a film 'Aapadamokkulavaadu' with MAA president, producer, artiste and Mega Brother, Nagababu as hero.

Krishnamurali has come from a farmers' family, so he is debating the problems being faced by the farmers in detail in his latest film.

The shooting would continue for about 30 days in Duggirala village in Guntur district during the latest schedule.

It may be mentioned here that popular artistes Jaggaiah and Jamuna are hailing from this village.

Kamal condemns Hyderabad blasts

Padmashri Dr. Kamal Hassan condemned the bomb blasts in Hyderabad and expressed his sympathies with the family members of the victims. “I love Hyderabad and Hyderabadis. I wish the city would soon overcome the shock.” He was here attending the success meet of his latest film Raghavan at Prasads Multiplex. Sporting grey suit and full shaven, Kamal became the cynosure to hundreds of the audience.
“My film Raghavan is received well by Hyderabad people despite the fear-psychosis prevailing in the city. The film is working like a balm in settling the ruffled feelings of the people. The movie is hailed as a great entertainer. I thank the distributors and exhibitors in dispelling fears among the audience by arranging superb security arrangements at the theatres,” Kamal Hassan said.
Director Gowtham Menon, who accompanied Kamal Hassan, said: “Raghavan is my dream project with Kamal. Efforts are underway to remake the film in Telugu. Script and screenplay are major strengths. Harris Jayraj’s music is another big asset. Success of Raghavan is due to the collective efforts.”
