Meeku Meere Maaku Meeme, starring Tarun Shetty and Avantika Mishra in lead roles, is directed by Hussain Sha Kiran. Hussain is better known as the one who triggered off the idea of Nannaku Prematho in Sukumar. The film is set to hit the screens on June 17.

Ahead of the film's release, Kiran says that it's a love story between an intelligent guy and a naive girl. (Note that Maruthi-written Rojulu Marayi is about the opposite; involving two pairs). The reason why the director chose the title is because the story of this film is inspired by a particular scene from 'Missamma'. 'Meeku meere..' is a song from 'Missamma'.

Produced by Nakama Planet Green Studios, which produced offbeat films like Shadow and Onti Ganta, the film was shot in Hyderabad.

"All the actors have played their parts well, thoroughly understanding their roles and brief well. I have produced the film with my friends. The audio has got a very good response," the director says.

Kireeti Damaraju, Jenny and Bharan are seen in other important roles. Shravan has scored the music. Cinematography is by Surya Vinay. Marthand K Venkatesh is the editor.
