Director Gautham Vasudev Menon is the latest to praise veteran filmmaker Singeetham Srinivasa Rao's recently released film. Taking to X, Gautham wrote, "So inspiring that Singeetham Srinivasa Rao sir is still making a difference, treading untold areas in cinema and making it work too. Sing Geetham, what a concept and so brilliantly performed and executed. A great watch in the theatres."
The filmmaker also gave a shout out to producers Nag Ashwin and Vyjayanthi Movies for backing the film. In response, Vyjayanthi Movies wrote, "Thank you so much Gautham Vasudev Menon sir for your kind words and immense love for Sing Geetham."
The filmmaker's appreciation comes a day prior to the release of the film's Tamil version. AGS Cinemas is set to release it across Tamil Nadu on June 26, Friday. Earlier, the film hit theatres across the country in Telugu and has already earned much positive appreciation.
The film looks at themes such as environmental destruction, greed, and the significance of safeguarding nature. It features actors Ahilya Bamroo, Ayaan, Shalini Kondepudi, Siva Narayana, Banerjee, and Wamcee, among others. The writers of the film are Singeetham Srinivasa Rao, Gautami Challagulla, Shashank Chintalpudi and Rathna Sreekar, Nanda Kishore Emani, and Rahul V Rajeshwar.
It is worth noting that Singeetham Srinivasa Rao is 94 years old. According to reports, he is the oldest active filmmaker in the world following the retirement of director Clint Eastwood. Recently, Clint Eastwood's composer son Kyle announced his retirement from filmmaking at the age of 96 after an illustrious career, spanning seven decades. This has made Singeetham Srinivasa Rao the oldest filmmaker to still have an active career.
Coming back to Sing Geetham, an excerpt from our review for it reads, "The beauty lies in how naturally the message is woven into the narrative without becoming preachy. This ability to blend entertainment and meaning is what keeps Singeetham's storytelling timeless... At an age when most people would choose retirement, he has delivered a film that feels innovative and relevant."
