Ilaya 
          Raja to score for Sumanth
         
        
  
          
Maestro 
          Ilayaraja will be scoring for a new Sumanth film that started a few 
          days back. This film is titled as 'Sabhash'. Sumanth is playing the 
          role of cop, who executes his operations smoothly without uttering ferocious 
          dialogues. A new heroine Chandni is making her debut with this film. 
          For a change, Sumanth is wearing a mustache in this film. He seems to 
          have realized that all the Telugu heroes should have mustache to succeed 
          in the modern era (Mehesh Babu is an exception). Jaya Babu who produced 
          films like Manavuri Pandavulu with Bapu in the past is producing this 
          film. The director of this film Hanumantha Reddy worked as assistant 
          director to Ravi Raja Pinisetty. Muhurat of this film happened on 3rd 
          February 2001 in Annapurna studios.
          
          Ram Prasad with Balayya
 
        
        
        
  
          
Ram 
          Prasad, who gave a sensible hit Chiru Navvuto with his debut in the 
          last year, would be directing a film with Balayya. Bhagavan and Danayya 
          who produced a different film like Samudram would be producing this 
          venture. Incidentally, Ram Prasad is a protégé of B Gopal. 
          Ram Prasad seems to have impressed Balayya when he worked as a associate 
          director for B Gopal. This film will go on floors in April 2001. Balayya 
          has taken a different approach after the film 'Vamsoddarakudu'. He is 
          doing all his films with new directors except for the proven ones like 
          B Gopal and Kodi Rama Krishna. And he is also making sure that all the 
          heroines are imported from Bollywood.
