Deva Katta, who caught the attention of the entire Telugu film industry, with his film ‘Prasthanam’, got an opportunity to direct Nandamuri Balakrishna.

It might be a coincidence that this director had announced that he was planning to do a film with rowdyism in the backdrop, when Ramgopal Varma made an announcement that he is bringing out ‘Bejawada Rowdylu’.

In order to avoid conflict, Deva Katta had decided to launch his film with a working title ‘Autonagar Surya’. The storyline narrated by him had impressed Sivalenka Krishna Prasad and Bellamkonda Suresh and they approached Balakrishna to do the film for them.

Though ‘Prasthanam’ bumped at the Box Office, his film got a critical acclaim. Lets us hope that Deva Katta would make the cash box ringing this time with Balakrishna.
