Allu Sirish-starrer 'ABCD', the remake of a Malayalam movie, is directed by debutant Sanjeev Reddy. The news is that it will hit the screens on March 1. Nandamuri Kalyanram's '118', a thriller, is also coming on the same date.

"Our hero will be seen as a US-returned young man who is awed by the cultural differences in India," the makers say. It has been produced by Madhura Sridhar Reddy on Madhura Entertainments and BigBen Cinemas. Producer D Suresh Babu is the presenter.

Bharath (child artiste of 'Dookudu', etc) is playing an important role in the movie. Nagababu will be seen as the Mega hero's father. Rukshar Thillan (Rukshar Dhillon of 'Krishnarjuna Yuddham') is the leading lady. Judha Sandhi of Sandalwood is the music director.
