It’s time for the release of NTR Jr’s next film, Ramayya Vasthavvayya (RV), produced by ‘Dil’ Raju and directed by Harish Shankar. The film has two pretty girls, Samantha and Shruti Hassan (in a special role).

The film was originally scheduled to release on September 27 but was deferred to October 11 due to the political turmoil in Andhra Pradesh.

Harish Shankar is riding a wave of success after the stupendous success of Gabbar Singh (the Telugu remake of Dabangg) with Pawan Kalyan and Shruti. He has cast Shruti again in RV

NTR Jr is known for his dancing and hi-voltage performances. In Ramayya Vasthavvayya he plays a college student which he has not done for a while. Being a trained classical dancer, NTR does the complicated steps easily. In RV he is said to have done some risky action scenes too in one take for the climax where 1000 junior artistes participated.

NTR Jr is cast opposite Samantha, the lucky girl who has been tasting success after success, most recently in Attarintiki Daaredi. Samantha and NTR had acted earlier in the ‘Dil’ Raju production Brindavanam.

Kota Srinivasa Rao, Rao Ramesh, P Ravi Shankar and Vidyullekha Raman also act in the film.
