Rag Mayur is playing the lead role in the upcoming film Anumana Pakshi, directed by Vimal Krishna of DJ Tillu fame and produced by Rajiv Chilaka. As part of the promotions, the makers unveiled the first song, 'Gulab Jam', composed by Sricharan Pakala.
Interestingly, the song has been sung by popular singer and music director Ramana Gogula, adding extra buzz to the launch.
Speaking at the event, Rag Mayur said, “This is the first time in my career that the very first song from my film is being launched, and it is even more special because it is sung by Ramana Gogula garu. It is a very happy moment for me.”
The actor added that he strongly felt the song would work well only if Ramana Gogula sang it. “As we wished, he came to the studio and recorded the song. While he was singing, all of us got goosebumps,” said Rag Mayur.
According to him, Ramana Gogula’s voice has elevated the song to another level. Speaking about the film, Rag Mayur said that Anumana Pakshi has original content and a strong character-driven story.
“Director Vimal has written a unique story and I feel lucky to be a part of it. This is the first time I am playing a full-fledged lead role in a film,” he said, thanking both the director and producer.
Rag Mayur also shared an interesting anecdote about the shoot. “We filmed in Kashmir, and after the Pahalgam incident, ours was the first film unit to shoot there. Kashmir is a beautiful place, and I hope more films will be shot there in the future,” he said.
He also revealed that senior actress Raasi is playing an important role in the film. “This is my second film with Raasi garu after Garividi Lakshmi, which is currently under production,” he added.
The actor also praised leading lady Merin Philip for her performance. “Her eyes are very expressive, and she has done a fantastic job in the film,” he said.
Director Vimal Krishna thanked producer Rajiv Chilaka for giving him complete freedom. “Because of that support, I was able to finish the film in just 31 days,” he said.
Describing the film, the director said, “Anumana Pakshi is an entertaining psychological suspense drama. Audiences will experience a complete fun ride in theatres.”
He further said that just as audiences supported his debut film DJ Tillu, he hopes they will support this film too. “After this film, people will definitely talk about Rag Mayur. I am confident that he will become a star,” said Vimal Krishna.
Chief guest Dil Raju said he already knows the story of the film and likes its content. “After DJ Tillu, Vimal was supposed to do a film for me, but it did not happen. Rajiv is an old friend of mine and his company is very strong in animation,” he said.
Dil Raju added that he has already seen some portions of Anumana Pakshi. “The film has a lot of fun and the team is planning to release it in May. Once I watch the entire film, I will speak more about it,” he said.
