Marking the occasion of Nikhil Siddhartha’s birthday on Tuesday, June 1, the makers of his next film, 18 Pages, released the first look poster of the movie. Upcoming Tollywood movie 18 Pages is written by Sukumar and directed by Palnati Surya Pratap. The romcom features Anupama Parameswaran and Nikhil in the lead roles. The first look poster features Anupama writing on a piece of paper which is used as a blindfold for Nikhil. Some fans have taken to Twitter to post their own theories about the meaning of the intriguing poster.
Sharing the first-look poster, Nikhil wrote, “1st Page... from #18pages @ga2pictures @aryasukku @sukumarwritings @bunnyvas @suryapratappalnati @anupamaparameswaran96 (sic). “Anupama, who will be seen as Nandini in 18 Pages, also shared the poster on social media. In the caption, the actor gave a brief introduction to her character in Telugu. The translation reads, "My name is Nandini. I like writing on paper like this rather than using mobile to type messages. The words that are typed do not have emotions and are the same no matter who typed them. But every handwritten letter has a feeling and has the writer’s signature in it. I don't know why but I like saying like this. #18PagesFirstLook (sic).”
The shooting for 18 Pages commenced in October last year. Gopi Sundar will be composing the background score and soundtracks for the movie, while A Vasanth is on board as the cinematographer. Navin Nooli has been roped in as the editor for the venture.
నా పేరు నందిని. నాకు మొబైల్లో అక్షరాలను టైప్ చెయ్యడం కన్నా ఇలా కాగితం పై రాయడం ఇష్టం. టైప్ చేసే అక్షరాలకి ఎమోషన్స్ వుండవు ఎవరు టైప్ చేసినా ఒకేలా ఉంటాయి. కానీ రాసే ప్రతి అక్షరానికి ఒక ఫీలింగ్ ఉంటుంది. దాని పై నీ సంతకం ఉంటుంది. నాకెందుకో ఇలా చెప్పడమే బాగుంటుంది. #18PagesFirstLook pic.twitter.com/JE32WXbrdv
