Director Teja who launched many heroes like Nithin, Uday Kiron, Navadeep and Adhi Pinishetty and others, is all set to launch his doting son Amitho with a big budget flick. “He has readied an exciting script for his son’s launch since he didn’t want to leave no stone unturned,’ says a source. He claims that his son Amitho has studied in the US and was planning to turn hero and specifically under the baton of his father who is a best in the business for new faces. “He is a kind of godsend director for aspiring actors and many made a career after his launch in Tollywood. Along with heroines like Reema Sen, Sada and Anita and others, actor Gopichand became a star villain only after ‘Jayam’ and didn’t look back ever since. He has given life to over 1000 artistes in various roles and many of them are ruling the roost in the industry,” he points out.
For the first time, Teja would be dishing out a supernatural thriller since he wanted a sensational launch vehicle for his son. “He has introduced many lover boys to the industry from Uday Kiron to Nithin and Navadeep to Adhi Pinishetty’ and so on. However, he has resolved to blend a mythological element to his love story with his son and it would be a gripping entertainer,’ he points out.
With socio-fantasies like ‘Karthikeya 2’, ‘HanuMan’ and ‘Kalki’ rocking the box office, director Teja also wants to dabble with mythological characters. “It would be very different from others and will have its unique mark,” he concludes. He has issued a casting call for this film and youngsters are lining up for auditions.
