The highly anticipated film "Chandi Durgamma," produced by HBJ Creations and Mother and Father Pictures, officially commenced its shooting today in Hyderabad with a traditional Pooja ceremony. The movie, which aims to introduce new talent alongside established padding artists, sees Jayashree Veldi as the producer and Oli as the co-producer. Mainu Khan MD is set to direct this unique cinematic venture.
Veteran comedian Ali graced the launch event as the chief guest, sounding the clap for the muhurtham shot. Actor Chitti switched on the camera, while Raghu Karumanchi directed the inaugural scene.
Speaking at the event, chief guest Ali expressed his delight: "I am happy to be here as a guest for the launch of 'Chandi Durgamma.' Since this film is based on a Goddess story, I wish it immense success. The first look poster is captivating, and I hope the movie also receives great audience appreciation. I wish producer Jayashree Garu, director Mainu Khan, and the entire team all the best in bringing great renown to themselves."
Director Mainu Khan MD shared his vision: "We thank Ali Garu for attending our 'Chandi Durgamma' launch today and giving the clap. It's also wonderful to have Raghu Karumanchi and Chitti here to support us. Recently, films based on goddesses haven't been made. After Soundarya Garu's Ammoru and Vijayashanti Garu's Chandi, we haven't seen a Goddess-centric film. We are crafting 'Chandi Durgamma' with a fresh concept and a new dark-themed screenplay, tailored to suit today's trends and appeal to modern audiences. In this current climate where audiences are hesitant to come to theaters, we are designing 'Chandi Durgamma's' making to draw them back. I wrote the story based on a point suggested by co-producer Oli Garu. A concept like this hasn't been seen recently. I truly wish 'Chandi Durgamma' becomes a masterpiece."
Producer Jayashree Veldi felt fortunate to undertake this project: "I consider it my fortune to have the opportunity to produce 'Chandi Durgamma' with such a wonderful story based on a Goddess. Our Telugu audiences have always embraced films centered on goddesses, and we hope our film receives similar success. We are bringing 'Chandi Durgamma' to you with high-quality making, featuring good padding artists and talented new actors."
Cinematographer Y.S. Krishna added: "Thanks to everyone who attended the launch of 'Chandi Durgamma.' We are planning to present our movie with fresh visuals on screen. We trust we will have everyone's support."
Actor Chitti extended his thanks: "Thanks to our friend Ali Garu for being the chief guest and giving the clap for 'Chandi Durgamma's' launch. Mainu Khan is a director with great vision. I worked with him on a previous film. He is going to make this film appeal to everyone. I wish producer Jayashree Garu, co-producer Oli Garu, and the rest of the team all the best."
Actor Raghu Karumanchi also shared his best wishes: "Thanks to the media friends who attended the launch of 'Chandi Durgamma.' I wish director Mainu Khan and producer Jayashree Garu great success with this film. My best wishes to everyone in the team. I hope 'Chandi Durgamma' becomes a memorable movie for Telugu audiences."
Co-producer Oli highlighted the film's unique approach: "We are producing 'Chandi Durgamma' with a thrilling concept. You will see a fresh screenplay in this film. We have faith that our director Mainu Khan will craft the film exceptionally well. We hope to continue receiving your support."
