‘Shashtipoorthi’ features Rupesh as the protagonist. The film is particularly noteworthy because it reunites the iconic ‘Ladies Tailor’ movie pair, Rajendra Prasad and Archana, after a gap of 37 years.
Directed by debutante Pavan Prabha, ‘Shashtipoorthi’ explores the significant life event of reaching the milestone of 60 years. The storyline revolves around filling the void of not witnessing one’s parents’ wedding.

The director, Pavan Prabha, shared that the film spans various life stages and includes a retro episode shot in Tathapudi near Yanam, where Rajendra Prasad and Archana appear unchanged from 30 years ago. The shooting has covered 80 locations, primarily in the Rajahmundry vicinity, showcasing the natural beauty of the Godavari region.
The film’s musical journey comprises five songs, with one shot in Ramoji Film City and the others in the Godavari region. The renowned composer Isaignani Ilayaraja is contributing to the film’s music.

He expressed joy in working with seasoned actresses like Rajendra Prasad and Archana, highlighting the commitment to delivering quality cinema with high technical standards. Currently, 80 percent of the shooting is complete, and preparations are underway for the next schedule.
