While filmmaking has always been an arduous task, the challenges posed by the pandemic situation have been unprecedented for film production units across the world. The team of the Satish Vegesna-directorial Kothi Kommachi has indeed lead by example in this precarious hour, wrapping the entire outdoor shoot of the film in a month’s span. The film starring Meghamsh Srihari, Sameer Vegesna that went on floors on November 3, is complete but for a song shoot. M L V Sathyanarayana is producing the fun-filled entertainer under Lakshya Productions.
“The film went on floors right after shoot permissions were granted. Given that the film was extensively shot outdoors across Amalapuram, Visakhapatnam and Rajamundry in a single schedule, we ensured all safety precautions were in place. I am grateful to the entire team that made this possible. We’re looking forward to completing the song shoot and announcing the release date shortly,” the director Satish Vegesna added.
“Despite the scare posed by the pandemic, we completed the shoot without any hassles. The director Sathish Vegesna was extremely meticulous with his planning through the schedule. The cast and crew left no stone unturned to wrap the portions on time. The post-production work for the film has already commenced. We are sure to entertain the audiences in theatres,” the producer M L V Sathyanarayana exuded optimism.

The film reportedly avoids commercial clichés, instead focusing on strong writing, realistic emotions, and sustained psychological tension. The entire story is said to be firmly anchored by Sobhita’s powerful performance.
