Ramana Gogula turns producer

In the backdrop of several technicians turning directors, music director Ramana Gogula has decided to produce a film by launching his own banner, 'Green Mangoes'. Raj Pipaala is making his debut as director through this film where Sumanth would be the hero.

Venkatesh was the chief guest at the inauguration of the new production house. Thespian Akkineni Nageswara Rao unveiled the logo of the banner and formally inaugurated 'Green Mangoes'.

Speaking on the occasion, Akkineni said, 'Like Ramana's music, his banner's title is also very attractive. True to the Kalidasa's saying, let the production unit imbibe the goodness of the old classics, and the novelty in the future while making the films with different subjects and with good commercial values.'

Venkatesh said, 'The banner's name is novel. I hope his first film under the banner would maintain the novelty and earn good name among the audiences.'

Producer Ramana Gogula said, 'The director of my debut film Raj is one of my best friends. He had good experience in shooting ad commercials. As I liked the story narrated by him, I turned producer. Regular shooting of the film would begin in April. Of course, I will continue to be a music director, though I became a producer.'

K. Raghavendra Rao, Jayanth, D. Sureshbabu, Burugupalli Sivarama Krishna, Lagadapati Sridhar, Anitha Sukuri and others also participated in the function.
