Sivaji, who earned a recognition as an artiste, turned a producer and purchased the remake rights of a successful Kannada film ‘Taj Mahal’ and is making it in Telugu with the same title under his own banner Sri Sivaji Productions. The logo of the film was launched by Dr D Ramanaidu recently.

Speaking on the occasion, Ramanaidu says, “I too played a small role in this movie. I am very happy that Sivaji chose a title with which I produced a film few years ago. I wish this film too would be a big hit on the lines of its Kannada original.”

Sivaji says, “I did never expect that I would become a hero. But I dreamt of becoming famous one day since my childhood. Luck favored me and I became a star. Likewise, I did never think of becoming a producer. But I was impressed with this Kannada film and turned a producer. I am introducing Arun Singaraju as director through this movie and I have an acquaintance with him when I was doing ‘Indumati’. He brought out the film well. Shooting part was completed and post-production works are in progress. We are launching the audio on November 2.”

Director says, “When Sivaji told me to wield the megaphone for the film, I was shocked and am afraid of taking such a huge responsibility. But he encouraged me and boosted the courage in me. I am confident that the film would be the career-best for Sivaji.”

Shruti is making her debut as heroine through the movie, while Kota Srinivasa Rao, Brahmanandam, Nazar, MS Narayana, Venumadhav, Raghubabu, LB Sriram, Jeeva, Chitram Sreenu, Vijay Sai and others are in the cast. Story is by R Chandru, dialogues are by Gangotri Viswanath, music is by Abhiman, and camera is by V Srinivasa Reddy, while Ramesh Boyinapalli is the executive producer.
