‘Avataram’ based on real incident

Filmmaker Kodi Ramakrishna’s forthcoming Telugu fantasy thriller “Avataram” is loosely based on a real incident in Kerala. He said that it’s about a woman’s fight against a devil and the graphics used will be the biggest highlight of the film.

He said that the story is loosely based on an incident in Kerala I came across recently. It’s about a woman who takes a devil head on with her ability to do something extraordinary. He said that he made changes to the story and adapted it for screen.

“Like ‘Ammoru’ and ‘Arundhati’, this film too shall be high on graphics, he said. This time they have upped the ante and roped in foreign technicians to work on the visual effects, which is sure to catch the attention of the film goers, he feels.

Kannada actress Radhika will be playing the lead in the film, which senior southern actress Bhanupriya will be seen in an important role as well. The film is slated to release Feb 27, and the director said it’s a very important film because it took him two years to complete. The film also features Bhanupriya, Rishi, Annapoorna and Sathya Prakash in important roles.
