The audience is loving Mahesh & Keerthy’s chemistry in SVP: Parasuram

Filmmaker Parasuram Petla is one happy man these days. Not only did he get the chance to work with one of his favourite stars, Mahesh Babu, in Sarkaru Vaari

Paata, the director says he’s also received tremendous appreciation from the audience. “I’ve wanted to work with Mahesh Babu since

Okkadu

(2003), so when the film released on the big screen, to see my name on the credit line for a Mahesh Babu film was a special moment for me. The audience has loved the film, which is the icing on the cake,” says Parasuram.

Mahesh Babu plays a moneylender called Mahi in the film, while Keerthy Suresh essays the role of Kalaavathi, a gambling addict. The film dwells on the topic of bad loans being forced upon the working class whenever they defer from payment of their dues. “The audience connected with the core issue that was explored in the film because it’s so relatable. Mahesh’s one-liners with Vennela Kishore are a hit, but most of all, people have loved the chemistry between Mahesh and Keerthy Suresh in the film.”

Producer Naveen Yerneni agrees, “Our phones have not stopped buzzing because the openings are unbelievable, and that’s without taking the weekend into account. We’re confident it’ll do well in the next few weeks too.” Calling this a film that’s best enjoyed on the big screen, producer Ravi Shankar says, “The audience’s response has been heart-warming. We plan to remake the film in other languages, too.”

Produced by Naveen Yerneni, Ravi Shankar, Ram Achanta and Gopichand Achanta under Mythri Movie Makers, 14 Reels Plus Entertainment and GMB Entertainment,

Sarkaru Vaari Paata
