All the rain shots are natural in Vaana, MS Raju film

MS Raju's directoral debut Vaana is releasing on 15th of this month. MS Raju, Paruchuri Bros, Sekhar V Joseph and KV Krishna Reddy met the press to discuss on the film.

Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao said: Okkadu released on Jan 15th of 2003, the day of Sankranti, and now Vaana is releasing on 15th Jan of 2008, on Sankranti again. I already saw the rushes and I can vouch that the film came out brilliantly. MS Raju directed the film as if he had experience of directing 100 films. One of the specialities of the film is Suman. Even though the film is based on a Kannada film, we modified it to our nativity and added good comedy. And one more interesting thing is that all the rain in the film is natural. There is one place - Sakileshpoor - which sees rain through out the year. And it was our camera man Sekhar Joseph's excellent work that brings this beauty on to the screen.

Paruchuri Gopalakrishna said: Vaana audio is super hit. Kamalakar gave excellent music. In fact, he reminded of OP Nayyar. Also, Sirivennela penned excellent lyrics. In the past we have moulded several remakes into Telugu that became super hits like Gharana Mogudu, Assembly Rowdy. In fact, they turned to be better than their originals. Vaana will fall into the same category.

MS Raju said: I invested good efforts into the film as producer and director. I fell for the story in the first hearing itself. I approached Suryaprakasa Rao, who had the rights of the film. He proposed that we both work together for this film. I have to thank him for that. Movie came out very well. Vinay and Meera Chopra did very well. Mainly, it is the story that has good feel.

Sekhar V Joseph said: As soon as I came to know that MS Raju is directing this film, I gave up a project in Tamil to do this film. It came out very good.

Editor KV Krishna Reddy expressed his confidence on the film.
