Successful director Maruthi, who has become a specialist in churning out ‘clean’ family and youth entertainers, is heard to be mixing a proven formula and a novel point for his next film starring Naga Chaitanya, Anu Emmanuel and Ramya Krishna.
Tentatively titled, ‘Sailaja Reddy Alludu’, the film is said to be inspired from Nagarjuna’s 90s super hit film, “Allari Alludu”. Featuring Nagma and Meena as female leads, the 1993 film had yesteryear heroine, Vanisri essaying the character of Nag’s ‘Aththa’. The story mainly focuses on the any day-interesting Alludu vs Aththa point.
We hear that Maruthi has drawn inspiration from ‘Allari Alludu’, took the film’s basic story line, and added his formula of rendering an interesting trait to hero’s character. Chaitu will be seen as a youth with ego or high attitude. When an egoistic (innocuous though) protagonist is pitted against a belligerent Atththa, to be played by Ramya Krishna, audience can expect whole lot of fun.
