Presented by Mrs. Chinta Varalakshmi under the banner of Sri Chakras Entertainment, Sri Chidambaram Garu is produced by Chinta Vinesh Reddy and Chinta Gopala Krishna Reddy, with Chinta Rajashekhar Reddy serving as co-producer. The film is written and directed by Vinay Ratnam.
Popular producer-distributor Vamsi Nandipati is releasing the film theatrically. Featuring Vamsi Tummala and Sandhya Vashisht in the lead roles, the film has already created a positive buzz with its recently released teaser, which received an unexpectedly overwhelming response from audiences.
Adding to the film’s growing anticipation is the soulful song “Velle Daarilo”, rendered by legendary music director M.M. Keeravani.

Ravi and Chandu deserve special appreciation for convincing a legendary composer like Keeravani garu to sing for this film. The story is mature, inspiring, and extremely relevant to today’s society, where youngsters often take extreme steps over small issues. This film teaches us that our weaknesses can become our greatest strengths. Vamsi’s performance—especially his expressive eyes—is outstanding. I wish the entire team great success.”

This film will definitely bring us meaningful recognition as artists.”
