Carrying forward the distinguished Nandamuri legacy in the Telugu film industry, the great-grandson of the legendary Sri NTR, grandson of Sri Harikrishna, and son of the late Sri Janakiram, young Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, is making his grand entry into films. This exciting project is written and directed by the dynamic director YVS Chowdary and will be produced by Yelamanchili Geetha under the banner "New Talent Roars @". The first glimpse of Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, launched previously, received a tremendous response worldwide. Through this film, the talented Kuchipudi dancer and Telugu girl, Veena Rao, is being introduced as the heroine.
The grand Muhurtham shot of this film took place today with splendor at NTR Ghat in Hyderabad. Smt. Garapati Lokeswari, Smt. Daggubati Purandeswari, and Smt. Nara Bhuvaneswari graced the inaugural ceremony as chief guests. Nara Bhuvaneswari gave the clap for the Muhurtham scene featuring the lead pair. Daggubati Purandeswari switched on the camera. Lokeswari provided honorary direction, while Nandamuri Suhasini, Nandamuri Mohan Roopa, Srimanthini, Nandamuri Vasundhara Balakrishna, Daggubati Nivedita, Nandamuri Deepika, Chalasani Chamu, Nandamuri Jayasri, Nandamuri Lakshmi Hari Krishna, and Kantemneni Deekshitha handed over the script. Nandamuri Mohan Krishna handled the cinematography. The event, attended by members of the Nandamuri family and prominent figures from the industry, was a grand affair.
Speaking at the Muhurtham shot event, Smt. Garapati Lokeswari said, "Namaskaram to everyone. My father was a great man who proved that he was unparalleled. His sons and grandsons are working hard to carry forward his legacy. All of them are progressing as leading stars. Now, his great-grandson is entering the industry. Your encouragement is very important for him. I request everyone to bless Taraka Rama Rao. Thank you to YVS Chowdary Garu and Geetha Garu for introducing him."
Smt. Daggubati Purandeswari said, "Namaskaram to everyone. Today, another generation from the Nandamuri family has stepped into the Telugu film industry. An artist has to do a lot of penance. If the Goddess of Arts blesses, they will reach great heights. My father was a Tapasvi of the arts. He dedicated his life to the film industry with discipline. That is why his name is written in golden letters in the Indian film industry. Later, Balakrishna and Harikrishna both left an indelible mark on the film industry. The next generation, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram and Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, also proved their existence with dedication. And now, another generation is entering the industry. NTR, whom we all call Ram, is entering the industry. He also has the blessings of the Goddess of Arts and our family. Just as Rama resides in Hanuman's heart, so does my father, Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Garu, reside in YVS Chowdary Garu's heart. I congratulate him for introducing Ram under the NTR banner, expressing his devotion to my father. I pray to God that this film will be a great success. Our blessings will always be with Ram."
Smt. Nara Bhuvaneswari said, "I hope Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao, his great-grandson, achieves the same fame and reputation as his great-grandfather, Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Garu. All our family members wish the same. It is very happy that the fourth generation is now entering the industry. Ram has worked very hard to prove his talent. A person with that passion can definitely reach the level he desires. My thanks to Geetha Garu for producing New Talent Roars Production No. 1. My good wishes to director YVS Chowdary Garu. Chowdary Garu and his family have always been supportive of the Nandamuri family. We are also grateful for that. Ram will definitely move forward with success. All the very best to the entire film team."
Mr. Nandamuri Mohan Krishna said, "Namaskaram to everyone. It has been twenty-five years since I retired from acting. My last film was 'Goppinti Alludu'. After twenty-five years, I have the privilege of taking the first shot of my great-grandson. My father's favorite grandson was our Janakiram. My father and Janakiram were very close. My father affectionately named Janakiram's eldest son Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao. That is his birth name. Ram has a great love for cinema. He has worked very hard to enter this field. Chowdary Garu liked Ram's talent. He took the initiative to make a film with him. On this occasion, congratulations to YVS Chowdary Garu and Geetha Garu. I wholeheartedly wish Ram to gain good name and fame."
Mr. Nandamuri Ramakrishna said, "Namaskaram to everyone. With the blessings of the world-renowned Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Garu, NTR Banner Production No. 1 has begun. Our grandson is the hero in this film. The director has prepared a wonderful story. YVS Chowdary Garu, who delivered a hat-trick of hits with 'Seetharama Raju', 'Lahiri Lahiri Lahirilo', and 'Seethayya', I wholeheartedly wish that this new film he is making will also be a tremendous success and bring great name and fame to our grandson. Jai NTR!"
Producer Yelamanchili Geetha said, "Thank you to Lokeswari Garu, Bhuvaneswari Garu, Purandeswari Garu, and the members of the Nandamuri family who graced this event. We are very happy that they came and blessed our Production No. 1. We believe that with all your blessings, we will release this film successfully."
Heroine Veena Rao said, "Namaskaram to everyone. I am very happy that Lokeswari Garu, Bhuvaneswari Garu, and Purandeswari Garu came to this event and gave us their blessings. Your blessings should always be with us. I request the audience to bless our film."
Hero Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao said, "Thank you to everyone who came to bless us. I believe that the blessings of my great-grandfather Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao Garu, my grandfather Nandamuri Harikrishna Garu who is standing right here watching, and my father Nandamuri Janaki Ram Garu will always be with me. I am very happy that all my family members came here today to encourage me. The media has been very supportive since the announcement of this project. My thanks to all of them. I believe that the love and affection of the audience will guide me forward."
Director YVS Chowdary said, "I will never forget this day in my life. NTR Garu's Ghat is like a sacred place to me. This place gives energy to NTR Garu's fans. I am very happy that this event is taking place here. He will remain as long as the Telugu race exists. It is a great pleasure for me that the launch of the film of the fourth generation member of his family, his namesake grandson NTR, is taking place in this place. It is not easy to bear that name. Anyone can take the name, but one must be able to excel in that field. It is a wonderful feeling that this event is taking place at the hands of the daughters of our revered deity, NTR Garu. It felt like a missile launching. This is an unforgettable moment. Taraka Rama Rao has worked very hard for this film. I consider it my privilege to direct this film. Taraka Rama Rao has the support of all his family members. It is our good fortune that Mohan Krishna Garu is the DOP for the Muhurtham shot. Ramakrishna Garu is like oxygen to Nandamuri fans. I was very happy when he told me, 'I will be like Harikrishna to you for this event.' Taraka Rama Rao has everyone's support. As a staunch Nandamuri fan, I wish him to reach great heights. I have worked hard to create a good story in the backdrop of Telugu literature, Telugu tradition, and Hindu culture to the best of my ability. I hope you all will like that story. We will work hard. Please watch our effort and bless us wholeheartedly. I consider it my good fortune that the members of the Nandamuri family, prominent figures from the 24 crafts of the industry, and media friends came to this event and blessed us. We request all your cooperation. Thank you."
