Minister releases Ankusam audio

Ankusam, directed and produced by V.K. Vijaykumar under Pakhya Celluloid banner, stars Srinath and Sriman with Keerthi Chawla and Sangitha as the glam factor. The audio of the movie was launched recently. State Cinematography Minister Anam Ramnarayana Reddy released the first audio CD to Tammareddy Bharadwaja at a function held at Prasad Labs recently. Ankusam is the dubbed version of a Tamil hit film Naayaghan. The minister stated during the audio release function, “Earlier, Shyamprasad Reddy produced another film titled Ankusam in Telugu and it was a big hit. Now Vijaykumar Reddy is producing a film with the same name. Incidentally, both are from Nellore. This film also carries a nice message on the lines of the earlier movie.” Keerthi Chawla commented, “Each song in the film is melodious. I wish my second innings had started in Tollywood with this movie.” Sriman said, “This is my 98th movie. Though I am a native of Andhra, I was successful in the Tamil film industry. My father produced a film Dharma with me in Telugu. Though he had spent Rs 1.8 crore, we got only Rs 1 crore in return. But I will do one more straight film in Telugu. Maria Manohar scored very good music for this flick. The producer has made the film with commitment. We hope that the audiences give the movie the reception that it deserves.”
