Telugu superstar Ravi Teja is back in action with 'Amar Akbar Anthony'. Mythri Movie Makers took to their official Twitter handle to share pictures of first day from the sets.
Directed by Sreenu Vytla, the film stars 'Mass Maharaja' in the lead role along with Anu Emmanuel opposite him.
Filmmaker clarified that this Telugu film has no connection with Manmohan Desai's 1977 comedy featuring Amitabh Bachchan, Vinod Khanna and Rishi Kapoor in the lead. Sreenu told Telugumirchi.com, “I am very excited to work with my hero Ravi Teja. Seed for this film Amar Akbar Anthony was sown one year back. A simple one-minute idea was expanded into a full-fledged script with ten months of hard work by my team members. This is one of the back bending and exhaustive script I ever worked on. Raviteja and my producers felt that the script has come out extraordinary.”
Anu Emmanuel is kicked to work with Ravi Teja and tweeted pictures from the sets of the film.
Director Sreenu even said, “ Entire 100% shoot is planned in the United States and just a meagre 10 days of production will be shot in India. Locations like New York, Detroit, Salt Lake City and many more are to be covered in the forthcoming schedules. None of the Indian movies are shot so extensively in US which promises to be a treat for movie lovers. Thanks to my producers and their wide network in USA made these schedules possible in reality.After succeeding as a hero with many hit films to credit, Sunil is joining our team as a full-length comedy artist in this flick while yesteryear heroine Laya, her daughter Shloka are also a part of this film. One more highlight of Amar Akbar Anthony will be Raviteja’s son Mahadhan in a superb role.”
