You all know me as co-director all these years. With this film, I am making my debut as director. The subject Chedugudu starts in a city and enters village backdrop and ends there. A village gets back the happiness after twenty years. The game Chedugudu is responsible for their happiness. We extensively shot in the areas of Rajahmundry, Palakollu and beautiful locations alongside river Godavari. Cameraman Sarath is a big asset to our film. Charkri gave wonderful music. We are going to shoot the left out two songs in Bangkok.”

Car driver said about Jayanth
“When I was thinking of introducing the right hero, a debutant or an upcoming hero, my car driver told me about actor Bhanuchander’s son – Jayanth. When I approached him, he said that Jayanth was still a boy and he preferred to launch him after he completed his studies. But, after hearing my subject, Bhanuchander immediately said he was giving his son for our project. The heroine – Swetha – was selected through the Net. Both will have excellent future with this film.”
