A hit film in the making - "Okkaddu"
While, Producer M.S.Raju is planning to celebrate the silver jubilee function of Manasantha Nuvve on the 10th of March, on the occasion of his birthday, the shooting of his mega-budget film "Okkadu" with Maheshbabu started off with a Muhurtam function, which was held at 9.15hrs. on the 14th of March.
It was "lights, camera and action", as the first shot was picturised on Maheshbabu, heroine Bhoomika and sixty other fighters in a forest area, situated at about 600 km. From the Hyderabad city.
This will be the first film for hero Maheshbabu under the Sumanth Art Production's banner.
After the failure of "Deviputhrudu" and success of "Manasantha Nuvve", M.S.Raju seems to have emerged into a more experienced producer and he is very confident about the success of "Okkadu".
