Sources say that Manasa’s role in ‘George Krish’ will have great significance.

The film has generated excitement among fans ever since it was first announced, with Sharwanand, who is riding high on the success of his recent films ‘Nari Nari Naduma Murari’ and ‘Biker’, teaming up with director Sreenu Vaitla for the first time.

Presented by ATV, the film is being produced by Ramabrahmam Sunkara under Anil Sunkara’s AK Entertainments banner, with Ajay Sunkara as co-producer.

It may be recalled that the makers unveiled the title and release date through a colourful and eye-catching poster in August this year. The Sankranti sentiment is particularly special for Sharwanand, as films featuring the actor that have released during the festival have gone on to emerge as huge successes.

Films such as ‘Shatamanam Bhavati’, ‘Express Raja’ and ‘Nari Nari Naduma Murari’ were all released during Sankranti and emerged winners. Now, ‘George Krish’ is also set to be released during the festival.

‘George Krish’ was launched in a grand fashion with a traditional pooja ceremony. For the muhurtham shot, producer Suresh Babu switched on the camera, while MLA Talasani Srinivas Yadav sounded the clapboard. Sreenu Vaitla himself directed the first shot.

The film boasts a strong technical crew. KV Guhan will be the cinematographer, while Anup Rubens will score the music. Avinash Kolla will serve as the production designer, and Amar Reddy Kudumula will take care of the editing. Nandu Savirigana and Gopi Mohan have written the script, while Kishore Garikipati will serve as the executive producer.

For the first time, the worldwide theatrical distributors of a film were announced on the day of its launch. Asian Suresh Entertainments will distribute the film in Nizam, Vaasudeva Movie Creations in Vizag, Vintage Creations in East, Adithya Films in West, Vyom Cinemas in Krishna, RK Entertainments in Guntur and Abhi Cinemas in Nellore.
