The story behind Kalyan's debut film

While many are wondering how Chiranjeevi agreed for a small time director like Rakesh Shashi to direct his son-in-law Kalyan’s debut film, here’s the story behind it. Rakesh is a good friend of Satyanand master, who trains all the actors in acting and diction. When Rakesh got a story, he expressed it to Satyanand, but all the actors were busy with their respective projects.

“At that time, Satyanand told Rakesh about Kalyan and asked him to approach him with his story. Satyanand also put in a word with Kalyan about the same. Kalyan liked the narration and asked Rakesh to narrate the story to Chiranjeevi,” says the source. 

“Chiranjeevi was so impressed with Rakesh’s narrative that he didn’t ask for   too many changes and his nod. The Megastar was impressed at how Rakesh narrated the story without any fear, even though he is a small time director,” adds the source. He even called producer Sai Korrapati to praise the director.
