Mallemala Entertainments production `Arundhathi' has been in the making since almost two years and it is expected to be worthwhile. Starring Anushka as the protagonist, Kodi Ramakrishna has directed the movie, produced by Shyam Prasad Reddy.

Producer Shyam Prasad and director Kodi always have a niche for making a step ahead in graphical visuals and `Arundhathi' is no different. The glam doll Anushka is now donning the role of a princess who gets reincarnated in contemporary times. She is clad in traditional costumes which gives a fresh look for the riveting actress.

Sankranthi always bought good luck for many producers and Shyam Prasad Reddy is one among them who released `Anji', a hit movie earlier and is now pinning hope on `Arundhathi'.

Revenge is a theme that has been made in cinema since it's inception but this movie has the backdrop of a Royal family from Gadwal Province and reincarnation amalgamated with it which raises expectations. Anushka plays the role of a young woman in the present and a fearless princess in the past.

Sonu Soodh will be seen in the role of a wizard who has a vendetta on Arundhathi and tries to kill her in the next birth. Shayaji Shinde is her protector in the role of a faker. The promos displayed an elegant Anushka at first and a daring princess who faces hurdles from her enemies during the end. Made in a budget of more than 13 crores, the flick boasts of spectacular graphic visuals, extravagant sets and a novel theme. Anushka has got enough scope to perform and it might give an image makeover for her.

Dialogues are written by Chinthapalli Ramana, lyrics by Dr M.S.Reddy, Dr C.Narayana Reddy, Vetturi, Ananth Sriram and choreography by Siva Shankar, Suchitra Chandra Bose.

Editing is done by Marthand K.Venkatesh, stunts by Vijay and cinematographer is K.K.Senthil Kumar. Music is being composed by Koti, art by Ashok. Story & screenplay is by the creative team of Mallemala Productions.

Produced by Shyam Prasad Reddy and directed by Kodi Ramakrishna, `Arundhathi' is all set to be released on Sankranthi festival (15th January).
