Hyderabad, April 3 Telugu star Aadi Sai Kumar's next film, which is being directed by Phani Krishna Siriki, has been titled 'Sairabanu', its makers announced on Friday.
Well-known producer Razesh Danda, fresh off the sensational success of 'K-Ramp', is to finance the film under the Hasya Movies banner, with Krishnakanth Paruchuri as co-producer.
Bandhavi Sridhar has been roped in as the female lead opposite Aadi Sai Kumar for this film.
Sources say that Aadi Sai Kumar, who scored the biggest blockbuster of his career with 'Shambhala', is now moving towards concept-driven films with strong commercial appeal.
Titled fascinatingly 'Saira Banu', the film was unveiled through a visually delightful poster. The design radiates a vibrant, dreamy romantic tone. A giant heart-shaped pink cloud, brushed in soft pastel textures, floats across the top. Beneath it lies the tagline 'A Fun Filled Journey of Love, Faith & Destiny.'
The bottom half paints a striking fantasy-infused visual – a water-drenched Charminar, a peaceful Vizag beach road, and the Rajahmundry Godavari bridge, all set in a surreal, storybook-like landscape. The clear, serene sky and gently scattered clouds add to the whimsical, imaginative world the film seems to promise.
Hasya Movies took to its social media timelines to announce the title of the film. Sharing the title poster, it wrote, "A formal beginning... to a love story that breaks every boundary. #SairaBanu Pooja Ceremony commenced today. Clap by @Kiran_Abbavaram. Camera switched on by @RamAbbaraju. @saikumaractor garu Script handover by @konavenkat99 @JainsNani. First shot direction @filmsyogi. Shoot begins soon."
Sources claim that Phani Krishna Siriki has crafted a unique Hindu–Muslim love story laced with humour, with the narrative unfolding in Rajahmundry and Hyderabad. The project was launched on Friday with an auspicious pooja ceremony.
Backed by a strong technical team, the film aims to be a rich visual and emotional experience. The film is to have cinematography by Raam Reddy and music by Shekar Chandra. Chota K Prasad is to handle the editing of this film while Brahma Kadali will serve as the production designer.
