Chennai, Aug 13 Actress Madhushalini, who is as popular in Tamil as she is in Telugu, has now turned a producer by presenting director Srujan Attada's Telugu film 'KanyaKumari', featuring Geeth Saini and Sricharan Rachakonda in the lead.
Talking to IANS, the actress, who made a name for herself in the Tamil film industry with her impactful performances in director Bala's 'Avan Ivan' and the Kamal Haasan-starrer 'Thoongavanam', says that she is now working both as an actress and at the same time, producing films.
"I am already in the process of producing a Hindi film. It is a science fiction film and it is yet to be titled. Although I turned producer with that film, 'Kanya Kumari' will technically be my first film as producer as it releases first," she discloses.
Producing a film requires quite a bit of courage. Ask her what made her make that decision and she says with a laugh, "I was actually looking for good scripts for myself. That was when I found out that there were so many stories that needed to be told. I thought that when I have the capacity to tell these stories, I will. I came across this sweet, sweet story and I wanted to help them in whatever capacity I could. That is when I thought I would present this film."
So, what was it about Kanya Kumari that she chose to back the film by presenting it?
Says Madhu Shalini,"It is a very rooted love story between a boy and a girl who have their own goals. A lot of girls will be able to relate to this story. When you have a perception of where you want to be or what you want to do in terms of goals or objectives, so much can happen if your family and friends are on your side. However, when the converse happens, it can take a toll on the person."
Written, directed and produced by Srujan Attada under the banner of Radical Pictures, the film stars Geeth Saini and Sricharan Rachakonda in the lead roles.
The makers have announced that the film will have a grand theatrical release on August 27th, on the occasion of Vinayaka Chathurthi.
Set in the natural setting of Srikakulam, this feel-good story has music by Ravi Nidamarthy, cinematography by Shiva Gajula and Hari Charan, and editing by Naresh Adupa.
