‘Devasthanam’ was a semi-devotional film with beautiful message close to Telugu hearts. Though movie fared below average in commercial terms yet director Janardhana Maharshi’s hard work is well recognized by critics and ardent movie lovers who enjoy core Telugu nativity. In fact, director called ‘Devasthanam’ as sweet as a Tirupathi Laddu.
With much needed professional satisfaction earned by ‘Devasthanam,’ the same director is now coming up with ‘Pavithra’ based on real life story of a prostitute played by Shriya. ‘If ‘Devasthanam’ was a Tirupathi Laddu, I can compare my ‘Pavithra’ with a spice and masala mixed Mirchi Bajji which our audience will accept and enjoy it,’ director said with confidence as movie is gracing the theatres in next three days. Wish all the best to ‘Pavithra.’
