When we were told 'Nartanasala' is a dance comedy, we were hardly looking forward to a dancer's caricature. Unless it's a misleading presentation of the hero's character in the movie, the teaser makes it clear that Naga Shaurya is playing a "gay". And when a "gay" is around in most Telugu movies, hitting below the belt and playing to the gallery follow naturally.

Produced by IRA Creations, the film has been directed by Srinivas Chakravarthi. After 'Chalo', in which he played a mildly atypical college goer, Shaurya plays an ill-bred son whose sexual orientation is of the 'wrong' type because of his upbringing.

Kashmira Paradesi and Yamini Bhasker play the heroines, while Shivaji Raja plays an embarrassed and benumbed father. Ajay has a role. Jayaprakash Reddy, Gemini Suresh, and Rocket Raghava are part of the cast.

Music is by Mahathi Sagar. Cinematography is by Vijay C Kumar. Stunts are by Venkat.
