Veteran producer MS Raju who was known for bankrolling tasteful love stories ‘Varsham’, ‘Nuvvothanante Nenoddantana’, ‘Manasantha Nuvve’, ‘Aata’, ‘Pournami’ and others has always had a knack for picking up good subjects. MS Raju himself penned the story for his production ventures at times. He turned into a director for his son Sumanth Ashwin’s debut film ‘Tuneega Tuneega’.
After the success of ‘Dirty Hari’ and youthful romance ‘7 Days 6 Nights’, the senior filmmaker stunned everyone by announcing a movie titled ‘Malli Pelli’. Naresh and Pavitra who became a real life couple after a lot of controversies were selected as the lead pair. This film from MS Raju created a lot of buzz ever since it was announced and the marriage videos of Naresh and Pavitra which were claimed to be filmed for movie promotions went viral too.
This movie led to a huge debate in both Tollywood as well as Sandalwood. The latest news reveals that the movie is not going to showcase the romance between the senior couple but explores serious topics such as marriage, love and re-marriage. MS Raju is yet to come in front of the media and talk about ‘Malli Pelli’.
But it looks like the star producer who was once known for his refreshing love stories is going to raise some serious questions about the marriage system and love in old age. What grabbed everyone is the casting of Naresh and Pavitra as the main lead because they were in the news for the same reasons in the past few months. Let us wait and see what MS Raju has to offer with ‘Malli Pelli’.
