The film 'Varakatnam' produced in 1968 with the late NTR and Krishnakumari in the lead had bagged the 'cash award' from the then Union government.

Recently, a Tamil film 'ABCD' directed by Saravana Subbaiah with Shyam as hero and Sneha as heroine was released and proved a big hit.

The same is being dubbed into Telugu as 'Varakatnam' by N Sairam @ NVP Satyanarayana.

Speaking about the film, the producer says, 'This is a very good social message film in this Tamil film with Shyam and Sneha in the lead. Saravana Subbaiah directed it and D Imaan scored tunes. Presently DTS mixing work is in progress. After completing all the formalities, we will release the film in June.'

Bosubabu, who penned dialogues for the film says, 'It has become a bane for the girl child to take birth in our society. While some parents were resorting to abortion, while some others killing the girl child immediately after delivery and in some cases, the parents were selling away the children for a paltry Rs 100 or Rs 1,000. While some girls were suffering from the harassment by their in-laws. The main reason behind this problem is nothing but dowry. Our film is aimed at curbing this social malpractice.'
