“We Made ‘Maya lady’ Believing Purely in Content”: Hero-Producer Rakesh Varre at the Pre-Release Press Meet Ahead of November 13 Release
Versatile actor and passionate producer Rakesh Varre—who previously earned widespread acclaim for content-driven hits like Evariki Cheppoddu and Pekamedalu under his banner Crazy Ants Productions—is gearing up for his next big theatrical outing, ‘Maya lady’. Directed by Prashanker and starring Madhumita Sarkar as the female lead, the film is locked for a grand worldwide theatrical release on November 13.
To celebrate the impending release, the makers hosted a vibrant pre-release event in Hyderabad, graced by the film’s cast, crew, and special guests including directors Mahesh Babu P. and Shashikiran Tikka.
Rakesh Varre: “If the Content Is Strong, It Will Win No Matter How Many Films Clash”
Addressing the gathering, lead actor and producer Rakesh Varre opened up about the journey behind Maya lady and why he placed complete faith in the script:
“After Evariki Cheppoddu and Pekamedalu, I was searching for the right subject when I heard Prashanker’s script. Two primary reasons drew me to this project: the brilliant narrative and Prashanker’s unmatched passion as a director. We didn't start with a massive budget, but once Madhumita and music director Vishal Chandrasekhar came on board, the project accelerated. We built a wonderful core team including Suresh, Satya, Madhurima, and Lavanya. I know November 13 is a crowded and tough release date, and even our distributors questioned it. But we believe that if you have strong content, your film will find love amidst any competition. Come to the theaters with your family and friends; I promise you will walk out happy.”
