Senior director and producer Dasari Narayana Rao was the chief guest at the audio release function of Premam, which stars Naga Chaitanya.
“Whenever I see Chaitanya or his movies, I always feel I am looking at a boy from my neighbourhood. There is magic in his smile and it is with that magic that he makes a heroine (Samantha) fall for him. I don’t know what ‘maya’ she has cast over Chaitanya that he too has fallen for her,” said Dasari, referring to the film, Ye Maya Chesave, starring Naga Chaitanya and Samantha.
The director further pointed out that love stories belong to the Akkineni family. “I directed ANR in 27 films and 20 of them are love stories. I had a long working relationship with ANR and our film Premabhishekam created a record in Tollywood. The legacy continued with Nagarjuna and now it’s Naga Chaitanya. I am confident that Akhil, too, will take it to another level,” says the veteran director.
Nagarjuna, who attended the function, left early to participate in his father’s birth anniversary programme. Among other celebrities that attended the function, were Shruti Haasan and Madonna Sebastian.
