Rakshit and Nakshatra play lead roles in Palasa 1978 that will be releasing on the 20th of this month. The film set against a cashew business backdrop in Palasa, a place in Sreekakulam district becomes the nucleus of the story. It is the story of Mohan Rao, a folk artiste who takes up violence.
What are the circumstances that led a peace-loving man to take up a weapon forms the crux. The film is being released by UV and Geeta Arts banner. Yesterday the film was screened to a few film people, primarily the Koneru family who made Rakshasudu.
They perhaps wanted to check out if that can be dubbed and released in Tamil. Those who saw the film say it is an award-winning venture, hard-hitting and very engaging with great performances. A preview for the media and one for the celebrities will be held soon.
