Renowned singer-composer Devi Sri Prasad is embarking on a new journey in his career. For the first time, he will take on the role of a lead actor. This exciting development comes with the upcoming film Yellamma.
A Pan-Indian Rural Emotional Drama
The film is a pan-Indian production. It will be directed by Venu Yeldandi, who gained fame with Balagam. Yellamma is described as a rural emotional drama. Its roots lie deeply in Telugu life and culture.
Director Venu Yeldandi shared insights about the project. He explained the story's setting and core themes. "The story is set in a village," Venu said. "It reflects our people, our beliefs, and our emotions. At its heart, this is an emotional drama."
Natural Casting Process and Divine Inspiration
The casting for the lead role happened organically. Venu Yeldandi revealed his approach to writing the script. "I wrote the story without any specific actor in mind," he stated. After completing the script, he approached Devi Sri Prasad.
"I approached Devi Sri Prasad garu," the director continued. "He liked the script very much. He immediately agreed to come on board." The composer-turned-actor is now fully engaged in preparation. He is studying and understanding his character in depth.
Venu Yeldandi also highlighted the film's distinct identity. Despite its rural backdrop, Yellamma will be different from his previous hit, Balagam. The director spoke about the inspiration behind the film's title.
"While writing, I felt a divine guidance," Venu explained. "That profound experience led me to explore the magic of a higher, superior force. This exploration is the reason the film is titled Yellamma."
Dual Role for Devi Sri Prasad
Devi Sri Prasad will not only act in the film. He will also handle another crucial responsibility. The talented artist will compose the music for Yellamma. This dual role adds a unique layer to the project.
Fans of Telugu cinema and Devi Sri Prasad's music have much to anticipate. The announcement marks a significant shift for the popular composer. His entry into acting is a major event for the industry.
The film promises to deliver a heartfelt narrative. It aims to connect with audiences through genuine emotions and cultural authenticity. The collaboration between Venu Yeldandi and Devi Sri Prasad is generating considerable buzz.
