Tera Venuka Chitraalu


This is a very complex story, but I will try to put it as simple as I can.

As I already mentioned in my earlier post, M.S. Raju prepared a story for Allu Arjun which was named as "Veera”. After the script was completely developed, bunny dropped out for obvious reasons. Then Harish Shankar, who directed Ravi Teja starrer “Shock” for RGV narrated a story for M.S. Raju who immensely liked it and wanted to start shooting with Siddharth who was riding high on the success of “Bommarillu”. This movie was named as “Aata”.

But just a day before the film’s official launch, due to some unknown behind the screen politics, Harish Shankar was replaced with “Manasantha Nuvve” fame V.N.Aditya. The movie was then officially launched as “Aata” with a tagline “To win the hearts”.

On the Muhurath day, it was also released to the press and public that the story is provided by Harish Shankar and veteran actress Sharada was supposed to play a key role in the movie. A significant portion of the movie was also supposed to take place in Australia. (If you want to check on this, do a simple google on “Aata Movie Launch”)

Kaani, Harish Shankar didn’t give his story for M.S. Raju when he was removed from the director’s seat. So, keeping the same title “Aata”, the movie was completed with Veera’s story and the tagline was removed. And now as everyone sees, Aata is nothing but a rehashed version of Gudumba Shankar.

Deenini batti naaku artham ayyindhi enti antey, Tera meeda Bomma padey mundara, tera venuko ennenni chitralooo ……
