Nagarjuna's penchant for working with first-time directors finds him in Telugu film "Mass Damunte Kaasko", a debut directorial venture by leading choreographer Lawrence.

Nagarjuna has in the past similarly worked with directors like Ram Gopal Varma and Dasarath.

"He has totally impressed me with his picture-perfect narration," is how Nag explains putting big money on a debutant.

The lanky star adds: "I have always liked working with freshers since they are brimming with new ideas."

Recalling that the choreographer "forced me to perform the most difficult steps in my career", Nag says Lawrence "will surprise audiences with his slick action scenes".

The actor has roped in two pretty girls, Jyothika and Charmi, for the female lead roles.

Lawrence claims to have narrated his 'love story' to two other stars, but found only the son of legendary A. Nageswara Rao responsive. "I was thrilled when Nag told me that I would be directing it."

At the function to release the film's audio, Nag shook a leg and announced that he was playing to the gallery this time without any pretensions.

Composer Devisri Prasad has belted out foot-tapping numbers with the title song already a chartbuster. The audio has been selling like hot cakes despite some of the tunes sounding similar to those of "Shankardada M.B.B.S.".
