Hyderabad, April 3 :

‘Carmeni Selvam’ is a bilingual film made in Telugu and Tamil under the Pathway Productions banner, produced by Arun Rangarajulu and directed by Ram Chakri. Versatile actor Samuthirakani plays the lead role, while Gautham Vasudev Menon appears in a key role. The film also stars Lakshmi Priya, Abhinaya, Karthik Kumar, Badava Gopi, Kothandam, Karan Chakravarthi, Shankara Narayanan V, and Haritha Parakod in important roles. The movie is set for a grand theatrical release on April 3 in both Telugu and Tamil, distributed by PVR INOX Pictures.

On this occasion, director Ram Chakri shared his thoughts:

‘Carmeni Selvam,’ the film is based on middle-class life. Everyone who watches it will connect with the story. Especially for those who are struggling with debt, this film will give them courage. Debt is quite common in middle-class families, and we are showing how it affects relationships within the family and the decisions they make. The film is very realistic. Samuthirakani garu has brought out every shade of his character brilliantly. As a middle-class husband and father, he has delivered a deeply emotional performance. Along with him, Gautham Menon garu, Lakshmi Priya, and Abhinaya have also delivered performances that will impress the audience.

I would also like to thank our producer Arun Rangarajulu garu for believing in this story and supporting us in making the film with high quality. Through this film, I want to convey an important message. Many elders in families are working abroad while their families stay here. I sincerely request them to return and spend time with their families at least once or twice a year. This film will connect strongly with every middle-class family.”
