“Sangeetha's powerful portrayal in Dhanam would fetch her national award”, says director Siva.

Speaking about the movie, the debutant director says, “Dhanam is a powerful story of a Devadasi, a system prevalent in some parts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka and other places in the country. Apart from the lead actor Prem, senior actors Kota Srinivasa Rao, Ashish Vidyarthi, Girish Karnad, Manobala and Ramesh Kanna are in the cast”.

“We have completed a major portion of the movie and all have come out well so far”, Siva says and adds, “Ilayaraja has come up with a catchy music and Sangeetha with one of the strongest performances. We shot the movie at a huge set erected at Ramoji Rao Studio in Hyderabad at a cost of Rs 30 lakhs”.

Jeeva is the cinematographer and B Lenin edits the film for producers Nandhivaram Sampath Kumar and S Kousalyarani plan to release the film in August.
