“Okka Adugu,” an upcoming film produced under the Siri Creations banner, is being written, directed, and headlined by Shekhar Model. The film’s title and first look were officially launched by noted film personalities VN Aditya, Ashok Kumar, Samudra, Padmini Nagulapalli, Rama Satyanarayana, and Satya Master in a grand event.
The film features music composed by Subhash Anand, cinematography by Satish Muthyala, and editing by Raghavender.
Speaking at the event, actor Murali Garu said, “Greetings to everyone. As a teacher, director Shekhar Garu’s command and dedication amazed us. We initially thought we should support him in every possible way, but he came forward confidently with his own vision and determination.”
Satya Master Garu said, “Every film needs the blessings of elders. I thank all the senior personalities who attended this event. I’m very happy that Shekhar Model is part of our studio family. He has come forward with the intention of encouraging newcomers. I wish ‘Okka Adugu’ brings him great recognition and becomes a successful film. Just like Prabhas Garu’s famous dialogue became popular among audiences, I hope this film too reaches everyone and becomes widely recognized.”
MV Raghu Garu conveyed his best wishes to the team and hoped the film achieves great success.
Producer Padmini Nagulapalli Garu said, “I wish Shekhar Model, who is coming forward as writer, director, producer, and actor, great success with this film. If the story is fresh and unique, success is guaranteed. I hope ‘Okka Adugu’ becomes a major stepping stone in Shekhar’s life and career.”
Film Chamber Secretary Ashok Kumar Garu said, “Making a film comes with many challenges. Handling every responsibility single-handedly for a film like this is truly commendable. Content is the most important factor for any film, as it is what brings audiences to theatres. I strongly believe this film has that strong content.”
Director Samudra Garu said, “Thank you to everyone who attended the title launch event of ‘Okka Adugu.’ Interestingly, legendary actor Krishnam Raju Garu once considered using this title. It is a powerful title, and I hope the film achieves huge success.”
Directors’ Association President VN Aditya Garu said, “I’m very happy to share the stage with many people I deeply admire. With ‘Okka Adugu,’ Shekhar has taken three important steps as an actor, producer, and director. He is coming forward to prove himself. I wish the film reaches audiences successfully and also brings profits to the producer.”
Dr. Kiran Garu said, “I share a wonderful bond with many people present on this stage, which makes me very happy. Shekhar Model is multi-talented and has a strong understanding of production. I wish the film grand success and extend my best wishes to the entire team.”
Actor, director, producer, and writer Shekhar Model Garu said, “I offer my heartfelt respects to all the distinguished guests and seniors who attended our ‘Okka Adugu’ title launch event. The film industry is a disciplined and structured field. I created this opportunity for myself and am coming before audiences with this film. I gained knowledge in various aspects of filmmaking to make this project possible. I worked with Devakatta Garu and did extensive groundwork for this film. The blessings of industry seniors are extremely important. I personally share a bond with all the guests who attended today’s event, and they have all inspired me in different ways. Some of them have even worked with me directly. Making a film may be easy, but making a successful film and taking it to audiences is very difficult. In today’s circumstances, getting opportunities in cinema has become challenging. For this film, I conducted auditions and selected talented newcomers to move forward with. I thank the media for supporting our film and request everyone to bless our project.”
