'Mahanati' Teaser: Brace up for true-blue biopic
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,April 14 2018]
'Mahanati', directed by Nag Ashwin and produced by Priyanka Dutt, will hit the screens on May 9 in three languages - Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam.
The teaser, released on Saturday evening, minces no words. 'Anaganaga oka Mahanati', says Samantha's Madhuravani. Cut to the past, a gracious, sari-clad Savitri (Keerthy Suresh charms us in black-n-white frames) is seen waving at her fans. A legend she was, we conclude when an old man does a Pranam to her.
Dulquer Salman as Gemini Ganesan and Vijay Devarakonda as Vijay Antony are two of the important male characters in the movie.
Since it's set in a bygone era, the glossiness of the glitzy world is old-worldly. It seems Avinash's art direction, Thota Tharani's art supervision and, of course, Dani's cinematography are set to make this biopic a visual spectacle.
Director Nag Ashwin, in fact, had put in years of research in writing the biopic. Music is by Mickey J Meyer. Production design is by Shivam. Editing is by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao.
