The concept poster of Amar Akbar Anthony which was released on Wednesday has captured the attention of the film buffs in a big way. Starring Ravi Teja in the lead role, the movie is being directed by Srinu Vaitla.
The story of the film is written jointly by Srinu Vaitla and Vamsi Rajesh Kondaveeti while the former is directing the venture. Amar Akbar Anthony is bankrolled by Naveen Yerneni, Y. Ravi Shankar, Mohan Cherukuri (CVM) and Praveen Marpuri under the banner of Mythrie Movie Makers.
The film has Ravi Teja and Ileana D’Cruz playing the lead pair. Scheduled for release on October 5 this year, a 53-member crew is camping in the US until September 14. During this time, some very important scenes and songs will be shot, say sources in the know. We hear that the entire talkie portions of Amar Akbar Anthony would be completed during this US schedule and one song would be shot in Hyderabad soon after returning to India.
The supporting cast includes Sunil, Laya, Abhimanyu Singh, Vikramjeet Virk, Sayaji Shinde, Ravi Prakash, Rajveer Ankur Singh, Tarun Arora, Adithya Menon, Srinivasa Reddy and Vennela Kishore. The technical crew of Amar Akbar Anthony includes S Thaman for music, Venkat C Dileep for cinematography and MR Varma for editing.
The shooting of the film is underway in the US and the team is expected to return after completing a major schedule there.
Director Srinu Vaitla and hero Ravi Teja have a good track record of working together in three films - Nee Kosam (1999), Venky (2004) and Dubai Seenu (2007). They are teaming up for the fourth time after more than a decade which has raised the expectation levels.
With the director in need of a big hit, his fans hope that Amar Akbar Anthony holds the key for it considering the good track record he has with Ravi Teja.
