Supreme Star Sai Dharam Tej lost enough weight, turned fit and will showcase his six-pack abs in his next film Prati Roju Pandaage. The actor during his recent interview revealed that it is was Ram Charan who suggested Rakhesh Udiyar who happens to be the personal fitness trainer of Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan. Charan referred Tej to Rakesh and it was after that Sai Dharam Tej got the desired ripped look.
Sai Dharam Tej is super confident about Prati Roju Pandaage and he is promoting the film currently. Directed by Maruthi, Prati Roju Pandaage is said to be an emotional family entertainer. Rashi Khanna is the leading lady and the film releases on December 20th. GA2 Pictures and UV Creations produced Prati Roju Pandaage. The film will clash with Balakrishna’s Ruler which is hitting the screens the same day.
Tollywood audience rushed to theatres to watch Venky Mama as it is the first biggie of the season. The film had a stupendous weekend all over despite of the poor reviews and negative word of mouth. After a top-class weekend, the first Monday witnessed a huge drop in the footfalls. Venky Mama happens to be an emotional family entertainer.
Sai Dharam Tej starrer Prati Roju Pandaage is hitting the screens this Friday and is said to be a family entertainer. If the film receives positive buzz, there would be an impact on Venky Mama’s collections as both the films fall in the same genre. The audience will surely prefer to watch the best film as most of them watch one film during this season. Also, a bunch of releases during Christmas season will sure pose a threat for Venky Mama.
The movie should have to do decent business in the coming weeks to recover the investments.
Director Maruthi mentioned that his upcoming release ‘Pratiroju Pandage’ will not feature any element of any disorder. Sai Tej and Raashi Khanna are acting as the lead pair in this family drama that also Sathya Raj playing grandfather’s role.
Maruthi keeps saying that it is a regular film with good entertainment but sources say the film has a different theme. We celebrate the birth of a child but why not do the same for the natural death of our parents or grandparents? – is said to be the point of the movie. This line revolves around Sathya Raj’s character in the film, say insiders.
Maruthi is deliberately keeping this theme to maintain suspense. ‘Pratiroju Pandage’ has completed its shooting part and is gearing up for December 20 release.
