Fun and comedy have a timeless appeal. And it is this appeal that director Srinivasa Reddy is planning to tap with his new movie Tata Birla Madhyalo Laila.

It is an entertainer where the fun never stops, says the director.

The duo share an inimitable understanding. This is their third film together and they are hoping that it will be thrid time lucky for them.

The last film that they acted together was Adhirindayya Chandram. Incidentally, Srinivasa Reddy directed this one too.

So naturally the rapport between the lead pair and the director --- something very crucial for a film --- is splendid here.

Adhirindayya Chandram was a light-hearted comedy, Tata Birla Madhyalo Laila has also some shades of thriller.

Apart from Adhirindayya Chandram, Sivaji and Laya have earlier worked together in Missamma. "We want to score a hat-trick with this film," he says brightly.

Producer Gopi (Venugopal), a close friend of Sivaji is making this movie on the Lucky Media banner. Music is by Srilekha.
