Director Vamshi has described that it is a blessing for his career to experience the making of ‘Thozha’, the forthcoming Tamil-Telugu bilingual that stars Akkineni Nagarjuna, Karthi and Tamannaah.
Vamshi said, ‘The journey was memorable and the people I worked with, especially Karthi, Nagarjuna sir and Tamannaah made 'Thozha' truly a blessing for my career. The bonding we shared was very special and I will treasure it all my life.’
Thozha was simultaneously shot as Oopiri in Telugu. The film is scheduled for theatrical release on 25 March 2016. It is an adaptation of French drama ‘The Intouchables’.
The director said that, ‘The original stayed with me for long. Although I wanted to adapt it into Telugu and Tamil, I never thought I'd make it after 'Yevadu', because I knew it was going to change the way I was making films.’
A bonding between a social disabled slumdog and physically challenged millionaire would be seen in the film. Nagarjuna played the millionaire while Karthi played slumdog.
Vamshi said that he found friends for life in Nagarjuna and Karthi.
