Cast and Crew Express Enthusiasm for "Karaali"

Naveen Chandra, known for his diverse roles, spoke about the unique appeal of "Karaali": "When new people come forward with fresh ideas, it takes courageous producers like Shiva Garu to step up and make films. Just as the title 'Karaali' is unique and different, the movie will be equally fresh. It’s a different action drama that I haven’t done before. Kajal Choudhary’s recent film 'Anaganaga' is impressing everyone. We have a great team for our movie. The audience and media have always encouraged me, and we’re crafting this film for everyone to enjoy."

Producer Mandalapu Shivakrishna shared his passion for filmmaking: "I’m a retired central government employee. I took VRS and entered films driven by a passion, investing the money I saved. During that time, Rakesh Potta narrated the story, and I really liked it. We won’t compromise on quality and will bring a new action movie to the audience. Even though this is my first film, I thank Naveen Chandra Garu for trusting me and coming on board."

Director Rakesh Potta conveyed his confidence in the project: "Working with Naveen Sir is a joy. I thank him for trusting me and giving me this opportunity. I also thank Shiva Garu for agreeing to produce the film after liking my script. We’re very confident that this movie will be a big hit."

Heroine Kajal Choudhary expressed her excitement: "This project is going to be amazing. I loved the script. There’s no need to explain how Naveen Chandra Garu’s films and the stories he chooses are. We’re coming before you again with a great story through this movie. I thank Shiva Garu and Rakesh Garu for giving me this opportunity."

Cinematographer Apurva Anil Shaligram added: "This is my second time working with Naveen Sir. I previously worked on 'Ammu' and 'Cinema Bandi.' It’s a pleasure to work with Naveen Chandra Garu again."
