HYDERABAD: The ‘11 pradakshina Visa Balaji’ will soon be immortalised on celluloid, says Tollywood director and producer Allani Sridhar about his new movie about the Lord at Chilkur.

The movie titled Chilukuri Balaji features Sai Kumar, renowned singer SP Balasubramanyam, Suman and the Varadu heroine, Bhanu Sri. The audio will be launched by Chinna Jeeyar Swamy at his ashram Jeeva Pranganam on Tuesday at 10.30 am.

Sai Kumar plays the devotee while Balu plays Tirumaldas, a singer. Bhanushree plays the devout wife of an atheist. The film has been shot at Ramoji Film City and at the temple premises, Sridhar adds. The small budget movie has all the ingredients of a movie that is bound to make every devotee of Chilkur Balaji connect instantly.

Written by Ramaravu Chintalpudi under the banner Filmedia Productions in collaboration with the Eenadu Group, the movie is all set to take people all over the state on a divine tour from the first week of July. “The story runs around the popular belief ‘Visa Balaji’. I hope youngsters will relate to the theme and enjoy this movie,” says Sridhar.
