KAD Entertainment/Touring Talkies - Taking Godavari to audiences World over

In August 2004 Megastar’s Shankardada MBBS was released across the world with huge fan fare with about 300 prints. On the same day another film with little known names also was released with just 3 prints across A.P. No body gave much importance to this till about after a week the film was declared to be a spectacular, trend setting hit. The film was 'Anand' and the Man behind it was Sekhar Kammula.

After nearly two years Sekhar Kammula is preparing to release his second film titled 'Godavari'. It has Sumanth and the Anand girl Kamalini Mukherjee in the lead. The anticipation this time around is tremendous for Sekhar Kammula’s film and going by the reports, 'Godavari' promises to be a heart warming celluloid delight.

Anand was distributed across the world territories by KAD Entertainment. In fact Anand achieved first notable success for a film by new comers, with the overseas audiences after about 5 years. (The previous occasion being Nuvve Kavali, but Nuvve kavali had stalwarts like Mr. Ramoji Rao & Mr. Ravikishore handling the production.) In the DVD version, Anand for the first time was released as a collector’s edition with a second disc that included features like Making of the film and Deleted Scenes and was a raging success with the overseas audiences. Anand won several awards including prestigious Nandi Awards Best Director for Sekhar Kammula and Best Actress for Kamalini Mukherjee.

Now 'Godavari' too is bagged by KAD Entertainment for overseas distribution and home video products. It is a matter of great joy for KAD Entertainment to distribute 'Godavari', representatives of KAD said and added that we thoroughly enjoyed working with the team of Anand the last time and we are very glad to be working with them again. And we are confident that Sekhar‘s film will appeal even more to all the audiences this time.

KAD entertainment will be distributing 'Godavari' in association with Touring Talkies- USA. Touring Talkies is promoted by Sekhar Kammula’s friend and long time associate Mr. Manohar Reddy. He was also the associate producer of 'Anand' and executive producer of Sekhar Kammula’s national award winner 'Dollar Dreams'. Touring Talkies intends to make low budget, independent films in Telugu and other south Indian languages promoting local talent.
