Simha's unit to leave for Vizag

Shooting of Simha directed by Boyapati Srinu and produced by Paruchuri Kireeti on the banner of United Movies with Balakrishna, Nayanatara, Namita and Sneha Ullal in the lead is progressing at a fast pace without any break.

Speaking on the occasion, director says, "Balakrishna's characterization, dialogue modulation and performance would be different and novel. There is a very good response to the title. He is playing the character which had the title. Chakri has scored very good tunes for the flick while the action part had also come out very well. Nayanatara's character would be the highlight of the movie."

Producer Kireeti adds, "This is the costliest film of our banner. At the same time it has a powerful subject and we are sure that it would be a sensational film in Balakrishna's career. As we got a fantastic subject, we have decided not to compromise in film production."

"We will continue the shooting in Hyderabad till January 20. Later we will leave for Vizag for about five-day shooting in which we have to shoot some scenes. Again we will resume shooting in Hyderabad from January 26 to February 10. With this, we almost wrap up the shooting but for the canning of three songs. We are planning to choreograph the balance three songs between February 10 and March 10 in an abroad schedule. We are making efforts to release the film in April as a summer special," says Executive producer B Mahendrababu.
