'Bangari Balaraju' stars Raghav and Karonya Katrin in the lead. Produced by KMD Rafi and Reddam Raghavendra Reddy, it has been directed by debutant Kotendra Dudyala. Set to hit the screens on Oct 25, the movie has music by Chinni Krishna-Chitti Babu duo.

Speaking about the movie, the hero says, "The story is based on a real-life incident that took place in Rayalaseema. It has honour killing at its centre. Nowadays, some parents are going to any horrible extent in the name of protecting honour. But if you understand the beauty of love, life can be amazing. We have seen how the instance of Pranav and Amruta in Miriyalaguda has shaken the conscience. We have made 'Bangari Balaraju' in an attempt to bring a closure to such honour killings. We all should try to the extent possible to prevent such incidents from happening. We have dealt the story from the perspective of both children and parents. A good story with sentiment and action, our film has all the ingredients."

Talking about the sentiment in the film, Raghav comments, "The sentiment is between father and his children. With their music, the Chinni Krishna-Chitti Babu duo has done a great job. I won't forget the cooperation extended by the producers. Karonya, the heroine, is popular for the TV serial 'Ramulamma' and as the winner of a game show. The entire technical team has put in a great effort."

"I am the son of Raghavendra Reddy, one of the producers. I wish this film becomes a success. The director is a great person. He used to narrate every scene in detail during the shoot. He has acted in the super-hit song 'Anitha O Anitha'. His tele-film 'Railway Track' has won the Nandi Award. I am very happy t have worked with him," he signed off.
