Gunnam Gangaraju is a man of his mind. He is a committed filmmaker, whose movies reflect a high sense of originality and novelty. Be it his directorial venture Little Soldiers or his production venture Aithe or Anukokunda Oka Roju. All the three films were a reflection of his effort to make commercially viable movies without shortchanging the audience through mindless masala.

Gunnam Gangaraju also does not bore you with plodding and halting movies in the name of arty cinema.

His kind of film is for the intelligent, thinking kind of man.

There is every reason to believe that Amma Cheppindhi will be a gritty emotional entertainer.

Verily, the movie is about the quaint relationship between a mother and her son.

For an industry that has been built on the bedrock on mother sentiment, what could be new Amma Cheppindhi? Well, the answer is in the film, says the director.

Everyone who has been associated with the film gushes about the script and story.

That is why Suhasini Manirathinam, who has been staying away from acting, has agreed to do the movie.

Suhasini, Sharvanand and Shriya Reddy form the lead team.

While Suhasini is playing the title role of sorts, all eyes are on Sharavanand. The young handsome actor is said to have got a role of a lifetime.

His will be talking point of the movie, says the director.

Right from Vennela, Sharavanand has managed to establish a case for himself as a thinking actor.

Shriya Reddy, the former VJ has got another interesting character. The emotions in the three-pronged story are the center of focus of Amma Cheppindhi.

The music of MM Keeravani for the movie is the other most talked aspect. The songs are certainly not run of the mill. Though slightly situational, they all have lilt and resonance.

The story itself is said to have a special resonance.

We will know when the film releases next week.
