Tollywood usually gives big attention to new heroes who come from film families or deliver successful films. But a new face has now become a talking point in the Telugu film industry. His name is Anish Reddy. Interestingly several big celebrities are supporting his debut film Itlu Arjuna.

The film will hit theatres on November 13. Director Venky Kudumula has taken a special interest in this project. He has spent nearly one and a half years working on the film. Venky has also produced the movie instead of directing it himself.

Akkineni Nagarjuna presents the film while Jr NTR launched its trailer. Music director Thaman and several popular technicians have also worked on this project. The makers are planning big promotions before the release. Reports suggest that the film has a budget of around Rs. 40 crore.

This level of support has made audiences curious about Anish Reddy. Many people want to know who he is and why the industry is backing him.

Anish is the younger son of Mahesh Reddy who is the head of AMR Group. AMR group is one of Hyderabad’s leading construction companies. Mahesh Reddy shares a close bond with Nagarjuna and several other film personalities.

He also produced Nagarjuna’s films Shirdi Sai and Om Namo Venkatesaya. This connection explains Nagarjuna’s association with Anish’s debut film.

Meanwhile Anish has chosen an interesting role for his first film. He plays a mute character in Itlu Arjuna. The film’s teaser and trailer have already created some interest among movie lovers. Malayalam actress Anaswara Rajan is another major attraction.

The makers have invested a good amount of money and brought several popular names together for this film. However, the film’s strength itself can finally decide whether Anish can impress Telugu audiences with his performance or not.

The film’s release on November 13 will give audiences the answer.
