'Hey Pillagada' censor done, release in October

How about watching Dulquer Salman and Sai Pallavi in a film. It’s coming. After ‘OK Bangaram’, the Malayalam star will be seen as a romantic hero opposite Sai Pallavi, Telugu cinema’s newest heartthrob after ‘Fidaa’.

The Malayalam hit ‘Kali’ (meaning ‘Rage’) will be released in Telugu as ‘Hey Pillagada’. The film has undergone its Censor formalities and is all set to hit the screens this very month.

DV Krishna Swamy, a prominent distributor of Ceded territory, is producing it on Lakshmi Chennakesava Films. He says, “The original, titled ‘Kali’, was a big hit in Malayalam and Tamil. This is a distinct love story. The chemistry between the lead pair is amazing. Both the young and family audiences are going to love ‘Hey Pillagada’. We are happy that our film has got a clean ‘U’ certificate. Gopi Sundar’s music and background score and Girish Gangadharan’s cinematography will be two of the major highlights.”

Directed by Sameer Thahir, the action-thriller has dialogues by Basha Sri, whereas the lyrics are by Surendra Krishna. It’s presented by Sooreddy Gopalakrishna (USA).
