The audio of maverick film producer M.S.Raju's directorial debut film, Vaana, was released at a gala function on the evening of 14th December at Ramanaidu Studios, though only the film's cast and crew and few close associates of M.S.Raju attended the function including Devi Sri Prasad, Dil Raju, D. Ramanaidu, Parachuri Brothers, Seeta, Naresh, Jayasudha, Arjuna Raju, Aditya Music Umesh Gupta and Sirisha. Vaana stars Vinay (of Nee Valle Nee Valle fame) and Meera Chopra in the lead roles.
"When I saw the Kannada film Mungaru Male I wanted to remake the film in Telugu. But Surya Prakash Rao had already bought the rights." Producer-director M.S.Raju said, "He was very generous and agreed to sell me rights readily. Off all the films that I have made so far, shooting for this film was the most strenuous. But after watching the onscreen appreance of the film, we just forgot about all the rainy days that we spent shooting in the hills of Sakleshpur in Karnataka". M.S.Raju also praised music director Kamalakar and said that he will be the next big thing in the Telugu music industry.
Lead actors Vinay and Meera Chopra also spoke during the occasion and thanked producer-director M.S.Raju.
Also praising M.S.Raju at the event was guest, producer Shyam Prasad Reddy "M.S.Raju is a very good story teller and a thorough professional. I am sure that he has done a fantastic job with his first directorial venture and I wish him all the best for the future".
