Talking Idlebrain.com, Shyam Reddy, the producer of Anji confirmed that he is going to release Anji on 22nd December. He also informed that the shooting part of Anji would be finished by 15th of October. Upon asking about why he is not releasing it on 21st December, he replied affirmatively that on 21st Devi Putrudu is releasing. So he is giving 'Devi Putrudu' breather for a day. The more logical reason could be 22nd gonna fall on Friday, which is a favorite day for a movie release. On the other hand, Medikonda Murali Krishna, the transportation tycoon in AP who owns the 'Venkataramana travels' announced that his film with Balayya will release on 21st of December. This film was tentatively titled as 'Narasimha Naidu' as Balayya is playing the role of Narasimha Naidu in that film. One would get a doubt about why everyone is vying for the 21st December slot. There is a logical reason behind it. We have three festivals coming up in a gap of 20 days. They are Christmas (25th December), New Year (1st January) and Sankrathi (14th of January). If they release any day before 25th December, they can capitalize on the festival crowds. Well, for cinema lover the 21st December is going to be a festival!

Actress Jyothika who is being paired up with Kamal for the first time has been reported to be very happy about the opportunity to act with him. This film is being produced by SP Bala Subramayam (singer) in Telugu. KS Ravi Kumar of Bhamane satya Bhamane and Sneham Kosam fame is directing this film. AR Rehman is composing music. Shooting of this film is over, except for a couple of songs. AR Rehman seems to be having good time in London giving shows out there as the producer of 'Tenali' is desperately waiting for him to compose music for the two songs. Poori Jagannath's English Film
