          eagerly, the producer Anita Krishna announced the title of Sridevi arts

          is the director. Jayanan Vincent and Mani Sharma give photography and 
          Music respectively. According to the grapevine, this film is based on

        Chinna 
          release on 30th of March
         
        
  
          
 
           Dasari, as 
          usual, erred this time too. Not long ago, he announced that he would 
          release Chinna on 16th of February 2001, just two days before the Premabhishekam 
          release date (18th February). And due the turn of events caused by the 
          massive success of Narasimha Naidu, Dasari is forced to postpone the 
          release of Chinna. Narasimha Naidu is earning the title of movie-eater 
          as average films and above average films are flopping at Box office 
          as they appears minuscule in front of the gigantic Narasimha Naidu. 
          Dasari is doing a role of bus driver and is not missing the opportunity 
          to have a song pictured on him, which tutors the youth of AP not to 
          burn busses during turbulent times. This film is supposed to be released 
          in Srilanka too.
