Delay of 'Saleem' has many reasons

The delay in the release of 'Saleem' directed by YVS Choudary and jointly produced by Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures and Reliance Big Pictures was attributed not to the director but to the leg injury to heroine Ileana and the marriage of hero Manchu Vishnuvardhan Babu.

Directed by YVS Choudary, the film’s audio was launched in Hyderabad recently. Speaking on the occasion, Mohanbabu says, “Director Choudary portrayed my son in a very different manner. The film was made with a whopping budget of Rs 23 crore. Though the budget is heavy the film came out satisfactorily. I too played a special character in this film.”

Dasari Narayana Rao says, “It is a surprise that Mohanbabu, who started his own banner to promote himself had produced 50 films on it. Films like ‘Pedarayudu’ and ‘Major Chandrakanth’ from the banner would remain in the history of the Telugu film industry.”

YVS says, “Audio launch is very important before the release of a film. I am confident that we will hold Platinum disc function even before the release of the film. Sandeep Choutha gave memorable tunes while Chandrabose penned impressive lyrics.” Sony is marketing the audio.
