A media interaction followed the ceremonial proceedings.

Speaking at the event, versatile actor Naveen Chandra said, “When new people come with fresh ideas, it takes courageous producers like Shiva garu to step forward and make films. Just as the title ‘Karaali’ is unique and different, the movie will be equally fresh. It’s a different action drama that I haven’t done before. Kajal Choudhary’s recent film ‘Anaganaga’ is impressing everyone. We have a great team for our movie. The audience and media have always encouraged me, and we’re crafting this film for everyone to enjoy.”

Producer Mandalapu Shivakrishna shared his journey, saying, “I’m a retired central government employee. I took VRS and came into films with a passion, investing the money I saved. I started production driven by that passion. During that time, Rakesh Potta narrated the story, and I really liked it. We won’t compromise on quality and will bring a new action movie to the audience. Even though this is my first film, I thank Naveen Chandra garu for trusting me and coming on board.”

Director Rakesh Potta expressed his gratitude, stating, “Working with Naveen sir is a joy. I thank him for trusting me and giving me this opportunity. I also thank Shiva garu for agreeing to produce the film after liking my script. We’re very confident that this movie will be a big hit.”

Actress Kajal Choudhary shared her excitement, saying, “This project is going to be amazing. I loved the script. There’s no need to explain how Naveen Chandra garu’s films and the stories he chooses are. We’re coming before you again with a great story through this movie. I thank Shiva garu and Rakesh garu for giving me this opportunity.”

Cinematographer Apurva Anil Shaligram added, “This is my second time working with Naveen sir. I previously worked on ‘Ammu’ and ‘Cinema Bandi.’ It’s a pleasure to work with Naveen Chandra garu again.”

The film also features Garuda Ramudu, Raja Ravindra, Venkatesh Mummidi, and others in supporting roles. With a promising script, a passionate production team, and a talented cast, ‘Karaali’ is set to make its mark as a fresh and compelling action drama.
