The film ‘Shashtipoorthi’ is produced by Rupeysh under the MAA AAIE Productions banner, with Rupeysh and Akanksha Singh in the lead roles, and directed by Pavan Prabha. The movie features the actor Dr. Rajendra Prasad and Archana in key roles. The film is set to release on May 30. As part of promotions, songs and the teaser released so far have created a buzz among the audience.

On Saturday, the trailer launch event was held at Tummalapalli Kalakshetram in Vijayawada. Chief guests for the event included Vijayawada East MLA Gadde Ramamohan and Penamaluru MLA Bode Prasad. 

Speaking on this occasion, actor Dr. Rajendra Prasad said ‘When I first heard the title ‘Shashtipoorthi’, I was surprised. I wondered am I the only one getting age appropriate roles? I have tried to escape my real life ‘Shashtipoorthi’, but now it has happened in the film. That’s my luck as an actor. I thank my brothers Ramamohan and Prasad for being here today.

‘Our film reflects Telugu culture and tradition. Children usually don’t get to see their parents’ wedding but ‘Shashtipoorthi’ is a celebration where children witness their parents remarry,’ the actor said.
