Sumanth, who made entry into the film industry, to continue the legacy of Nata Samrat Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Yuva Samrat Nagarjuna, used to take utmost care to present himself on the screen in a novel way and try to avoid their influence on him.

In 'Satyam' he played as a love narrator, in Gowri he played the role as a mass audience, as a matured lover in 'Godavari' and as a delicate lover in 'Madhumasam'.

All the roles portrayed on him were quite memorable to the audiences. Now Sumanth is being presented in a different angle by director K Vijayabhaskar in 'Classmates' being produced by Sravanti Ravikishore on the banner of Sravanti Movies.

The film has music from Koti.

The producer and director are planning to release the film on April 20 as a summer special. Presently the film unit is in Araku to can songs.
