- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,November 17 2014]
'Naa Bangaru Talli', the film which won three national awards and five international awards, is all set for a release on November 21st. Rajesh Touchriver is the director of this film and Sunitha Krishnan, the founder of Prajwala foundation, is the producer of this film.
Chiranjeevi has recently watched the film and praised it. Sunitha Krishnan said, "I never forget the compliments of Chiranjeevi after watching the film. He not only launched our audio, but also gave a good message at the event. This film, which revolves around Human Trafficking, is my first film as a producer. This film will show the beautiful relationship between a middle class father and his daughter. We have faced many problems to produce this film. But I understood that the real problem is with releasing the film. No one came forward to help us. At that time, Akkineni Amala helped us and helped us in selling the satellite rights. She also suggested me to collect money trough crowd funding. In only 10 days, 543 people have funded 32 lakhs. Especially a donor from Bangalore donated 12 lakhs. As he requested, we couldn't reveal his name. I think this is the first film to be releasing through crowd funding. We are releasing the film on Nov 21st in over 100 theatres. The film will also release in big cities like Chennai, Bengaluru, Delhi and also in U.S.A. I hope the film will be successful".
Rajesh Touchriver said, "This film is based on a very delicate point. I took time as I don't want the film to have vulgarity, so that the whole family could watch it. I met many victims of human trafficking and has done a lot of research to do this film. I hope this film will be received well"
