"Eleven" Relies on its Story and Content; Will Definitely Be Naveen Chandra's Biggest Hit": People's Star Sundeep Kishan at Pre-Release Event
"Eleven," a bilingual investigative thriller starring Naveen Chandra, is directed by Lokesh Ajls, who previously worked as an associate director for films like Sundar C's "Kalakalappu 2," "Vandha Rajavathaan Varuven," and "Action." Produced by Ajmal Khan and Riya Hari under the AR Entertainment banner, "Eleven" is their third venture after the critically acclaimed successes "Sila Nerangalil Sila Manidhargal" and "Sembi." The film is set to offer a thrilling cinematic experience this summer. The already released promotional content has generated significant buzz around the movie. Prominent distributor N. Sudhakar Reddy of Ruchira Entertainments has acquired the theatrical rights for the film. "Eleven" is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on May 16th. In this context, the makers held a grand pre-release event attended by People's Star Sundeep Kishan as the chief guest.
Speaking at the pre-release event, People's Star Sundeep Kishan said, "Namaskaram to everyone. I am very happy to attend this event after hearing the ceasefire news. A big salute to the Indian Army who are risking their lives to fight for us. As an actor, I will do whatever help I can for the soldiers. I request you all to also extend whatever support you can. They don't depend on our help, but it is our responsibility for their sacrifice. Coming to the movie, before coming to this event, all I knew was that it's Naveen's movie and the title is Eleven. I wished for his good fortune and the film's success. Naveen is senior to me. He has earned every film through his talent, even giving auditions. He got the opportunity to recognize his talent. Naveen is an actor who has relied solely on hard work, not luck. His every film has his best performance. Today is a good day for Naveen. Doing a Telugu-Tamil bilingual means fighting with money. Every scene has to be done twice, promotions have to be done in both places, and explanations have to be given to everyone whether it's a Telugu or Tamil film. The reason for doing all this is the love for the audience and the language there. A blind hope that the audience will give the deserved love for our hard work. I hope this film gives Naveen a very good success. Such films come only when there is immense passion for cinema. I watched the trailer of this film; the craft in the trailer is very good. It felt like director Lokesh has made the film wonderfully. This is a film made believing in the story and content. It feels like the actors and technicians have given their best. I really like Imman's music. He did his first Telugu film with me. I hope he does more Telugu films. This movie is releasing on May 16th. Everyone please watch it in theaters. I hope Naveen gets a good hit with this."
Hero Naveen Chandra said, "Namaskaram to everyone. A big salute to our soldiers who are fighting valiantly to protect us. Jai Hind. Coming to the film, everyone who has seen the movie so far has said it's very good. Seeing their reactions has given me more confidence. We have planned paid premieres for this film on May 15th. I will be standing there when the audience comes out after watching the paid premieres, and if you don't like the movie, you have the right to ask for your ticket money back. You also have the right to question if you feel your time was wasted. The audience has been appreciating the stories and characters I choose from the beginning. I believe this film will be a return for that respect. The producers made this film with a lot of passion. They brought in Red Chillies for post-production, which shows their belief in this film. Everyone has worked very hard for this film with the intention of giving the audience a great experience. The movie is releasing on May 16th. My story is my strength. You will definitely like this film. You wouldn't have seen the unique concept in this film in any thriller so far. For 30 minutes, you will be very emotional. That emotion will give the audience a memorable experience. Thank you to Kamal Haasan Garu for launching our trailer. With him launching it, the trailer got amazing reach. Thank you to Dhanush Garu, Arya Garu, Simbu Garu, Sri Vishnu Garu, Sandeep Kishan Garu, Suhas, and Vishwak Sen. They supported this film in every way whenever I asked. All the guests who came to this event are people I have genuinely earned. I will always be indebted to the media who support me in every film I do. My heartfelt thanks to all the actors who acted in this film. Kireeti, Ravi Varma Garu, Shashank, Abhirami Garu, everyone performed wonderfully. Thank you to Riya for believing in me as a producer and actor. My sincere thanks for believing in me and investing such a big budget. Imman gave amazing music. I am working hard and doing good films. This movie is coming on May 16th. You will definitely like this film. Director Lokesh has made the film wonderfully. He extracted the best performances in both Telugu and Tamil. When you watch this film for the first time, it feels one way. When you watch it the second time, you see another angle. If you like it the first time, definitely watch it the second time. Also, there are many clues in the title of this film. If anyone decodes those clues, I will give them a very good gift. Sandeep Kishan is a person who always supports me in every film I do. I am very happy that he came as a guest today."
Director Lokesh said, "Namaskaram to everyone. My heartfelt thanks to each and every guest who came to this event. If the star cast of a film is set right, then half the film is already won. In that regard, this film has won half the battle. Everyone who acted in it are good performers. Imman's music is a big pillar for this film. The audience who watched the film will say the background score is excellent. DOP Karthik is my backbone. This film wouldn't have been possible without his visuals. I narrated the story to Naveen Garu together. From the moment he heard the story until today, he has put in his every effort for this film. Naveen Garu is an actor who understands what the director wants and the director's thoughts. He can give the required expression with just his eyes. He will do more great films in the future. The producers have been very supportive. I am confident that this film will definitely give them a good success. This is a very honest film. Please do watch the movie; it will be a film on your wish list."
Director Karuna Kumar said, "Namaskaram to everyone. The reason for coming to this film's event is Naveen Chandra Garu. Naveen Chandra Garu is an actor who considers every film and every character as his own. Our bond grew stronger after working with him in 'Matka'. I am very happy that he is the hero in the film I am doing now. I request everyone to come to theaters on May 16th and make 'Eleven' a success."
Heroine Riya said, "Namaskaram to everyone. My heartfelt thanks to everyone who acted in this film. Thank you to director Lokesh Garu for believing in me. I am a big fan of Imman's music. His music is like magic in this film. Naveen Garu is amazing; it was a pleasure working with him. Telugu audiences always support good films. I hope the audience will support our good film and make it a big success."
Abhirami said, "Some films make you feel proud to talk about. This is such a film. I have seen the movie, and it will definitely give the audience a very new experience. Congratulations to our entire team. I believe this film will become a wildfire in Telugu and Tamil. Naveen Chandra Garu has a lot of passion for cinema. I believe he will reach great heights in the future. This is a very meaningful movie; please everyone watch it in theaters and support it."
Creative Producer Prabhu Solomon said, "Namaskaram to everyone. This film is very close to my heart. The character Naveen played in this is very challenging. I watched the movie and enjoyed it a lot. The audience will also like it very much. This film will speak for itself. The film will be a visual treat. You will definitely enjoy it a lot."
Music Director D. Imman said, "Namaskaram to everyone. It was a wonderful experience doing the songs and background score for this film. I have done almost 100 films, but this is my first crime thriller. The director narrated the story wonderfully, and it has come onto the screen just as wonderfully. I believe this film will create a wonder in Telugu and Tamil."
Director Srikanth Nagoti said, "The trailer of this film is very exciting. Whatever film Naveen does, it has very good content. All the very best to the entire team. I hope this film achieves a very good success."
Director Viswanath said, "Namaskaram to everyone. Naveen Garu is a very intense actor in any character he plays. After watching the trailer of this film, I am confident that it will definitely be one of the biggest hit films. Naveen Garu is a very helpful actor to the directors he works with. This film will be the biggest hit in Naveen's career. All the very best to the entire team."

Naveen Garu is an amazing actor; he is going to create magic once again with this film. I definitely believe this film will create a very big magic."
Director Sai Rajesh said, "Namaskaram to everyone. I have a lot of respect for Naveen Chandra Garu. He is a great actor. When a writer writes a character, they imagine and write a role. The first big party I saw in the industry was for his film. I like Imman's music a lot. I really like the thriller genre. I hope this film achieves a very big success."
Writer Lakshmi Bhupala said, "Brother Naveen Chandra, this is the first time I am coming to his film's event after the 'Andala Rakshasi' function. The trailer of this film is very good. It felt like an intense thriller. Naveen Chandra is doing very versatile roles. I sincerely hope this film gives him a big success."
Lyric Writer Rakendu Mouli said, "The songs in this film have been written in a very new way. There is a song in this which was written with the idea of how it would be if a song was written by combining two languages. The song has come out very well. This is a very good intense thriller. The director has made it very honestly. I request everyone to watch it in theaters. I wrote my first film 'Andala Rakshasi' for Naveen Garu, and it was a pleasure to write for this film again."
