At a time when the likes of Sumanth Ashwin and Tejaswi Madivada are branching out into web entertainment, Lakshmi Manchu, who has earlier tried international television before being a silver screen artiste, has done a short film.

The Decision`, written and directed by Srinu Pandranki, is the one. The teaser of the same was released today.

Set in Washington, It is a 21 minute short film which narrates the story of a young woman who has to make a critical decision.

Srinu Padranki got an inspiration to create this short film after coming across a short story which was published in Andhra Jyothi in October 2014.

The film narrates a story about a woman who has suffered an abortion earlier. While she`s having another experience of pregnancy, she is told that the child is likely to suffer Down-Syndrome. The decision revolves around this very aspect.

Lakshmi Manchi says, “Doing a short film like this one is always very challenging for an artist to enact a role with such difficult sides. As a mother, I really connected with the film because it emotionally touched me deeply and I hope every parent who watches this movie gets something out of this. It was amazing working with the entire team and I think the location brought an extra depth to the film”.

It's produced by Vishwa Prasad and has music by Anup Rubens.
