Sunil to be seen as 'Poola Rangadu'

He forayed into a difficult territory - that of playing male lead - with Andala Ramudu, and then went on to bag a prestigious film with SS Rajamouli years later (Maryada Ramanna). Sunil, the comedian, has always wanted to be an actor donning all kinds of roles. He was being choosy in selecting scripts for playing the male lead and thus we saw only an occasional one coming with him in the shoes of the hero.

Then, Achi Reddy offered him a script, titled as Poola Rangadu, and Sunil immediately gave his nod. The film is a laugh riot where Sunil will play a comedic role and Isha Chawla will be his heroine.

Presented by RR Movie Makers, the film will be produced under the banner of Max India and will be directed by Veerabhadra Chowdary (Aha Na Pelanta, 2010).

Looks like Sunil will get a break with Poola Rangadu and the same will undo the damage that Katha Screenplay Darshakatvam - Appalraju may have caused to him.

KSD Appalraju Scenes

Raviteja in KSD Appalaraju

It is well aware that Sunil is playing the hero, while Swati and Sakshi are playing the heroines in ‘Katha, Screenplay, Darsakatvam Appalaraju’ directed by Ram Gopal Varma and produced by Kiran Kumar Koneru on the banner of Shreya Productions.

Several dupes are being used for the film. However, it is reliably learnt that Raviteja is playing a small role in this movie and presently some scenes are being shot with Raviteja.

Does it mean Ram Gopal Varma has respect to Raviteja or treating him as if he is not greater than a dupe?

But now things have changed and he thanked RGV for the opportunity presented to him.

RGV was extremely happy as Nagarjuna and Sri Devi made themselves present to grace the occasion of the launch of his new movie ‘Katha Screenplay Darsakathvam: Appalraju’. He also candidly said that he used to wait in long queues to watch Sri Devi’s movies and jokingly said never for a Nag’s movie.

Nag also added that he saw a few clippings of ‘Raktha Charitra’ and is excited about the movie. He welcomed RGV to the Telugu film industry and said an overwhelming statement that ‘Appal Raju’ should be a bigger hit than ‘Shiva’. On RGV’s entry, Nag also said newer technicians and new directors will come to Telugu cinema.

The chief guest of the occasion, the beautiful Sri Devi came along with her husband Boney Kapoor. She was welcomed with the popular number ‘Ori Bramha Devadudo’ from ‘Govinda Govinda’ and was elated to be part of the event as she has not been present in any of the movie launches that have happened in the last 10 years. She thanked RGV to invite her and it was an opportunity to meet her old friends and colleagues in Hyderabad. Sri Devi ended saying that this movie should celebrate Silver Jubilee and she would definitely be part of that event as well.

Boney Kapoor expressed similar views and wished the film’s unit and hero Sunil all the best.

Sunil’s heroine in the movie is Colours Swathi who was excited to be part of RGV’s movie. She wished the whole team of ‘Appal Raju’, good luck!
