As festival season draws to a close, plenty of promising films line up for release and one among them is ‘Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum’ opening in theaters worldwide on November 30th. This Krish’s much-anticipated follow-up to his ‘Gamyam’ and ‘Vedam’ features Rana
Daggubati as B Tec Babu and Nayantara as Devika, a documentary filmmaker. Inline with recent controversial national issues like Coalgate, director Krish, this time took the subject of displacement of villagers from their lands due to land mining and depicts how the hero fights against it. This Telugu/Tamil bilingual film written by Krish himself is a full-fledged entertainer with enough of commercial elements.

After portraying the role of a romantic chap in ‘Naa Ishtam’ and aggressive police cop in ‘Department’, Rana, the actor who’s hungry to explore different roles, played B Tec Babu who works for Surabhi Drama Company in KVJ. Altogether Rana has portrayed three entirely different roles in 2012. Similarly, the character Nayantara played in KVJ is a dramatic contrast to her previous role in ‘Sri Ramarajyam’. However the actress is said to have played a crucial role in this film as well and is expected to receive critical acclaims for her performance in this film too. KVJ will introduce Milind Gunaji in the role of antagonist to Telugu audience.

KVJ has cinematography by V S Gnanasekhar. The Telugu audiences have already seen his stunning camera work in ‘Vedam’,
hence Krish seemed to have no second thought to team up with him once again for this film. Music Brahma Mani Sharma needs no introduction. When it comes to action part, Rana was trained in martial arts by fight master Vijayan. Rana’s new love “six pack body” adds spice to the role.
