Mahanati is one of the crazy projects in Telugu film industry right now. The film is based on the life of legendary actress Savitri. The biopic is directed by Nag Ashwin who made his directional debut with Yevade Subramanyam. The makers released the teaser of the film which is nothing short of a visual feast. The tremendous response to the film’s teaser reveals how people are waiting to watch the movie.

The film has become one of the rare films in the recent times which was short with film stock. This is certainly a rare achievement from the makers as it is not really very easy to shoot the film with livestock. The film’s track featuring Samantha and Vijay Devarakonda was shot on film while Keerthi Suresh’s track was shot on Digital.

The film is going to hit the screens on May 9th.

Samantha at various events stated that Chinmayi Sripada’s fascinating voice is one of the major reasons for her success. She indeed didn’t show much interest to dub for her roles in films, though she can speak Telugu fluently.

As per latest reports, Samantha is dubbing for herself in Mahanati, a biopic on legendary actress Savitri. Since director Nag Ashwin requested Sam to lend her voice for her role in his latest directorial as to bring realness, Sam has readily accepted his proposal.

Currently, the film is in post-production stages. Mahanati has Keerthy Suresh playing Savitri in the prestigious venture bankrolled by Priyanka Dutt under Vyjayanthi Movies Banner.

The film also has Naga Chaitanya, Dulquer Salman, Vijay Devarakonda and Nani in key roles. Mahanati will be released simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil on May 9th.
