Prakash Raj-directed 'Mana Ooori Ramanayam' is a bilingual film ('Idolle Ramayana' in Kannada) starring himself, Priyamani, Sathyadev and others. The news is that the human drama will hit the screens on Oct 7. Certified with a clean 'U', this one drives home the point that there is a Rama and a Ravana in each one of us.

The talented actor-director Prakash Raj has said that Abhishek Pictures is releasing the movie in both AP and Telangana. Talking about the film's major highlights, he says that it's the story line and Maestro Ilayaraja's music.

Elaborating on the characters for the first time, the makers say that the story of four souls reflect characters from the epic Ramayana. Prakash Raj says, "They are at vantage point in their lives. The four characters are – Bujangaiah (a Dubai returned businessman that has dreams of doing things his ways), Susheela (an escort who is materialistic at core), a rikshawala (who has his yes on unfulfilled Dubai dairies), and Garuda (a movie director who is obsessed with his dream movie project). The plot thickens when their paths cross and events unfold to take them on a journey where their instincts get the better of them, eventually leading them from a sense of excitement to fear of humiliation and ultimately to self-realization."

The makers further say, "A line from a 'harikatha' goes like this: 'If ever Lord Rama transforms into a 'rakshasa', his greatest disciple Hanumantha wouldn`t stay a confidante'. This summarizes the thought and the characters of this movie."

Dialogues are by Ramana Gopisetti and Prakash Raj. Cinematography is by Mukesh. Lyrics are by Bhaskarabhatla Ravikumar. Editing is by Srikar Prasad.

The movie will lock horns with several other Dasara releases.
