Guna Sekhar has donated a cheque for 5 lacs rupees to the victims of Nilam though CM fund.
Speaking on the occasion Gunasekhar said, “Rudramadevi is India’s first historical stereoscopic 3D film. I wanted to do this film after the release of Arjun film. It’s very important to have a quality pre-production. That’s why I took so much of time. I was impressed by Anushka’s performance in Arundhati and decided to cast her as Rudramadevi. Eega proved that you don’t need to have a star in film to make it a blockbuster. Rajamouli has made us all proud. I am also producing Rudramadevi as it’s an inspiring subject. I am announcing the film today as tomorrow is Anushka’s birthday. Lot of producers have shown keen interest on producing this movie. But I am keen on producing it. I have lot of creative freedom and ability to choose artists and technicians as per the demand of the script. This is the first time I am working with the maestro Ilayaraja. Dr. Mudigonda Siva Prasad, MVS Prasad, Thota Prasad and Madhubabu who have grip on history are assisting in script work. Costumes and sets are getting ready. There is no risk in producing this movie. I am never satisfies as a director so far. I haven’t made a film that justifies my standard so far. But I am sure that Rudramadevi is a visual feast. The budget of this film is the remuneration of all our technicians. Nobody knew about the greatness of Alluri Seetaramaraju till that movie is released. Likewise, Rudramadevi’s greatness and patriotism will be known to the people after watching this movie.”
