Venkatesh's Savitri

Savitri is said to be the title under consideration for veteran mass director P. Vasu's Telugu remake of Kannada blockbuster Aptha Rakshaka (2010), which is also being remade in Tamil as Chandramukhi 2.

It is noteworthy that Venkatesh’s earlier films with female titles. including Lakshmi and Tulasi turned out to be highly successful at the box office. The makers seem to expect the same magic to work in Savitri too.

The Telugu version has Victory Venkatesh in the lead with five heroines: Anushka, Priyamani, Sraddha Das, Sneha and Richa Gangopadhyay. It was launched recently at Rama Naidu Studios in Hyderabad.

The film is produced by Bellamkonda Suresh of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Productions. Guru Kiran will score music, while Shyam K. Naidu handles the camera. The film is set in a horror backdrop.
