“Vrukscho Rakshati Rakshitaha” — Our elders have wisely said that when we protect trees, they protect us. With this meaningful message, “Kalivi Vanam” has been made with a backdrop of Telangana’s rural environment, focusing on the importance of conserving forests. The film features Raghu Babu, Sammeta Gandhi, Vijayalakshmi, Bithiri Sathi, Balagam Satyanarayana, Mahendra Nath, Satish, Sri Charan, Ashok and others in key roles. Nagadurga will be introduced as the female lead.
The film is produced by Mallikarjun Reddy and Vishnuvardhan Reddy under the AR Productions banner, with Raj Narendra as director and writer. Having completed all production works, the film’s trailer and November 21 release poster were launched by senior journalists Ravi Chandra, Phani, Keshava Chary, Cine Josh Rambabu, Shiva Mallala, and Radha Krishna.
Actor Sammeta Gandhi said:
“This film beautifully portrays how important forests and trees are to our lives. The movie has come out really well. Our producers Mallikarjun Reddy and Vishnuvardhan Reddy did not compromise anywhere during production; whether day or night, we shot continuously in the forests around Jagtial. This is not a small film—it’s a very meaningful and big concept film. I truly trust that the media will strongly promote Kalivi Vanam.”
Music Director Madeen S.K said:
“I believe that every viewer who comes to this film without any expectations will definitely like it. I thank Director Raj and producers Mallikarjun and Vishnuvardhan Reddy for giving me the opportunity to compose music for such a beautiful film.”
Director Raj Narendra said:
“These days, bringing a special guest to support a small film is very difficult. We tried a lot but no one could come forward. In the film industry, not even one guest is coming to encourage a good movie. Today, it is only the media friends who stood by us. They are our strength, they are our support, and they are the ones who will carry this film to the audience.”
He added:
“I have written the quote on the film’s poster: Cinema is not only entertainment, it is also knowledge.
This is a film that parents must watch along with their children. Nowadays we often hear that parents and children cannot watch many movies together. But this is a complete family film, which can be watched together with children. It contains both entertainment and valuable learning.
For example — if a child asks how rain comes, we should not say ‘God sends it.’ We should teach them that planting a tree leads to rain. When we teach children about nature from a young age, that understanding grows with them like a tree. Nature must be respected and loved along with God. That is the purpose of this film.”
He concluded by asking the audience to support the film releasing on November 21.
