The crew of 'Dubai Seenu', starring Ravitheja and Nayantara, is leaving for Europe to shoot the song sequences of this masala entertainer.
But they are going to be careful in not repeating the mistake that 'Adhiti' crew made. Couple of weeks earlier, the crew of 'Adhiti' went to Europe to shoot some of their song sequences. But, to their horror, they discovered that the weather was particularly unfriendly.
Now they have shifted their venue to Dubai. They decided to complete their Dubai schedule and then return to Europe to complete their song sequences there.
In 'Dubai Seenu', Nayantara plays the role of a female radio jockey. That makes one thing certain- she wouldn't be starring with Chiranjeevi as his heroine in 'Shankardada Zindabad' because in this film too, the heroine is a radio jockey.
Gayathri of ‘Notebook’ fame is acting in a new film ‘Sandhya’ in which she plays a college student. While all her classmates and her seniors are busy romancing with their partners, she is all the time seen concentrating on her studies.
Finally, she also falls in love, but with an auto driver. She hopes that the audience would like her role in the film.

Speaking on the occasion, Srihari says, 'We chose a Malayalam super hit film 'Chintamani Cola Case' and made certain changes to suit the Telugu nativity. We too wish that the film would be a big hit in Telugu also.
The role would be a different character in my career. Generally, all my films will always have action. But this film has a lot of good sentiment. I am doing the role of an advocate who always fought in favour of women.
Vijayan, who is basically a fight master, turned a director. He moulded the film on the screen excellently like how good he choreographs the action scenes. After producing 'Hanumanthu' on our banner, we are again producing this film. We are planning to release the film on May 22.'

Now for his latest flick he chose the title 'Atithi'.
Both his earlier films earned him good name. The 'Aa' sentiment would definitely works for Surender Reddy, opine Film Nagar sources.
