Mahakaal Pictures, helmed by producer S Prashanth Reddy, presents Hatya, a gripping thriller directed by Srividya Basava. The film stars Dhanya Balakrishna, Pooja Ramachandran, and Ravi Varma in prominent roles. Hatya is scheduled for a grand release on January 24th. The film's cast and crew recently interacted with the media at a press meet, sharing their experiences and excitement for the upcoming release.
Director Srividya Basava: "I faced many challenges during the making of my first film, Madha. The pandemic hindered our ability to fully enjoy its success. I'm grateful to Prashanth for making Hatya possible. We were very careful with the budget and ensured every penny was used responsibly. I wanted Hatya to be a profitable venture. We faced numerous hurdles during the shoot. For Madha, I had to approach many people and request them to screen the film. But this time, distributors approached us after seeing the trailer. We are confident in the film, and the entire team is happy with how it has turned out. We learned filmmaking through trial and error. Ravi Varma delivered a fantastic performance, and his character will resonate with audiences. Dhanya will captivate everyone with her portrayal of Sudha. She prepared extensively for her role. Pooja is brilliant as Saleema. As a female director, I aspire to write more women-centric stories and characters. Our cinematographer, Abhi, works in perfect sync with the team. I've known music director Naresh for many years, and he has delivered exceptional music. Anil's editing is sure to impress. Hatya is a captivating investigative thriller that will offer a unique experience to the audience. I urge everyone to watch and enjoy it."
Dhanya Balakrishna: "I'm grateful to Vidya for entrusting me with such a significant role. Since childhood, I've dreamt of doing action films like Vijayashanti and Malashri. That dream has finally come true with Hatya. The film is a well-made investigative thriller. Thanks to everyone who worked on this project. I urge everyone to watch our film and spread the word if you like it."
Pooja Ramachandran: "I'm delighted to be back in the Telugu film industry. I've always received immense love here. The audience has been supportive ever since Swamy Ra Ra. Thanks to Srividya for offering me such a wonderful role. Working with Dhanya was a joy. The DOP, Abhi, and director Vidya have done a fantastic job. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this film. I encourage everyone to watch Hatya on January 24th."
