Speaking to Telangana Today, Ramana Rao, who won several awards as a stage artist, said producing the message-oriented movie, Bharatha Puthrulu, has been his life’s ambition. The storyline is based on the theme of how India has to be shaped for the future of the country’s youth.
Nearly 100 actors and technicians, including the local stage artists and Nandi Award winners, all belonging to Bhadrachalam, worked for the movie, which would be different from routine movies and interesting throughout, he said.
“My main objective behind producing this movie is to create artists locally and promote their talent. All the new artists took advantage of the opportunity and performed well”, said 72-year-old Ramana Rao, who has also acted in the movie.

Sri Ramoji Hari Haran has shown his talent as an art director. Audiography by Satish Namaka and Srinivas has added strength to the film. PRO Veerababu B has raised the level of the movie with his promotional work.
The film is released by Param Jyothi Films (Paper Satyanarayana) in Telangana and Bhavani Pictures (Srinivas) in AP. Javed Khan, Sarath and Kajol Kiran played the lead roles while Puli Raj, RK Katari, Gupta, Rajesh Thammalla, Tanniru Srinivas, Chaitanya, Krishna Kant, and others play important roles.
