Though, the film was actually slated for Match 4 release is now pushed to front owing to vacuum at Box Office.
‘Actually, I took the decision to direct a film only after watching Mani Ratnam sir’s ‘Sakhi.’ Though I was inclined towards movies from childhood but definitely it was Mani sir’s influence which drove me into this industry. After completing my Engineering, I approached Adivi Sesh and Sai Kiran Adivi who were actually my Facebook friends. I was supposed to work for Sesh’s ‘Kiss’ but due to major shooting happened in the USA, I could not. Finally, it happened with ‘Kshanam’ and thanks to PVP Cinema for providing us an opportunity finalizing the project only in single sitting,’ Ravikanth Perepu said.
It’s great to see youngsters ushering into cinema field with new thoughts and let’s wish that ‘Kshanam’ will be a successful movie just like the way it’s trailer promised.
