Arjun Reddy fame Vijay Deverakonda is turning producer with the Telugu movie Meeku Maathrame Cheptha. Announcing the film, Vijay Deverakonda wrote, “We share all our secrets with our best friends and if the secret is embarrassing - you will be ragged for the rest of your life! No mercy! #MeekuMaathrameChepthaTeaser My Best Friend's Secret! https://youtu.be/VifLV61mjo4.”
The teaser reveals how the hero lies about himself to his girlfriend and is in the process of covering it up, which is told with huge doses of humour.
Director Tharun Bhascker is playing the lead role in this flick while Abhinav Gomatam, Naveen George Thomas, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Vani Bhojan, Avantika Mishra and Pavani Gangireddy also form a part of the star cast.
Shammeer Sultan has directed and scripted the film. The technical crew of Meeku Maathrame Cheptha includes Mathan Gunadeva to crank the camera, Sivakumar for music composition and Sreejith Sarang for editing. Plans were to release Meeku Maathrame Cheptha in October but with some biggies taking up the theatres, Vijay Deverakonda has decided to release it on November 1. Trade circles consider it to be a smart move from the actor turned producer.
While his maiden production venture is in progress, Vijay is busy with his acting assignments. The shooting of his untitled film is currently under progress. Debutant Vinod is wielding the megaphone for this venture with V Ananda Prasad bankrolling it under his banner.
The film is touted to be a family drama and set in Guntur. Reports are that it is about the travails of a middle-class family and Vijay Deverakonda plays a boy from such a family. Varsha Bollamma has been roped in to play the female lead in this family drama.
