‘Maska’ is a high budget movie produced by MS Raju on Sumanth Art Productions banner, featuring Ram, Hansika and Sheela in the main cast. Director B. Gopal has made this movie on the renowned production banner. The company holds credit for hits like 'Sathruvu', 'Devi', 'Okkadu' and 'Varsham'. The director has also earlier rendered the super hit films 'Samarasimha Reddy', 'Narasimha Naidu', 'Indra' and 'Bobbili Raja'.

The recently launched audio of ‘Maska’ is a chartbuster hit which has become one more reason to anticipate the movie. With a number of pluses added to it, distributors are competing with one another with glossy lucre to buy the movie’s distribution rights.

But, producer MS Raju’s decision to release the movie himself throughout the state of AP has come as surprising news to everyone. On being questioned the same, consenting to the risk factor involved in marketing a highly budgeted movie like ‘Maska’, he retorts that his friends and well wishers have made this advise for him to undergo this step.

‘Among them, it was my close friend and producer D. Suresh Babu who wanted me to do it. He was quite impressed with ‘Maska’ and his suggestion for me to release ‘Manasantha Nuvve’ turned fruitful earlier. Because of him, I raked in huge profits due to the movie’s grand success. I am confident ‘Maska’ will be one more super duper hit on our production banner,’ says MS Raju.

‘The music is already receiving rave reviews which has given me double the hope. So, keeping all these things in mind, we are going to release ‘Maska’ on our own in AP. It will be Sankranti Gift for 2009, from Sumanth Arts’.
