Chitralahari, starring Sai Dharam Tej and directed by Kishore Tirumala, went on floors today in Hyderabad. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film also features Kalyani Priyadarshan and Nivetha Pethuraj as the female leads.

The story delves into a father-son relationship and will revolve around a resto-bar named Chitralahari. Incidentally, the names of the female leads in the film are rumoured to be Chitra and Lahari.

Devi Sri Prasad, who earlier worked on Kishore Tirumala's previous films, Nenu Sailaja and Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi, has been roped in to score the music for this romantic drama. The film, which will be shot in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and other locations, is slated for release next summer.
