Maha Samudhram, starring Sharwanand and Siddharth in the lead roles is presently in filming stage. Ajay Bhupathi of RX100 fame is helming the film and it is billed to be an intense love drama.
Now, we have an exclusive update on the project and it is an interesting one.
As per our sources, Maha Samudhram is vaguely based on hit Telugu film Nalugu Sthambalata which released back in 1982.
Nalugu Sthambalata is a love drama starring Naresh, Poornima, Pradeep in the lead roles. The Jandhyala directorial has a hard-hitting plot and is regarded as one of the breakthrough films back then.
Apparently, Ajay Bhupathi penned a script which shares close similarities with Nalugu Sthambalata. Much like the Jandhyala directorial, Maha Samudhram will also have four actors in lead roles namely Sharwanand, Siddharth, Anu Emmanuel, and Aditi Rao Hydari.
Interestingly enough, Maha Samudhram script was turned down by Naga Chaitanya, and Ravi Teja before Sharwanand picked it up.
The makers of Maha Samudhram had previously announced that the film will be releasing on 19th of August.
