Megastar Chiranjeevi and hero Srikanth are like brothers. Srikanth is die-hard fan of Chiranjeevi and the megastar treated Srikanth as his younger brother. They have acted together in films too. No wonder than that Srikanth has requested Megastar Chiranjeevi to unveil the first look of “Ra Ra” and Chiranjeevi did the same with much happiness. Srikanth is playing lead role in comedy horror thriller “Ra Ra” that is produced by Vijay and presented by Sreemitra Chowdhary.

After unveiling the motion poster at his residence, Chiranjeevi wished both Srikanth and producers a big success. “My brother Srikanth and Sreemitra Chowdhary are coming up with an interesting horror comedy. I liked the trailer and I am now eager to watch the movie. I am more excited when I have learnt that the film has games that would appeal to the children. The play between humans and demons would definitely entertain the audiences,” Chiranjeevi said excitedly wishing the team good luck.

Hero Srikanth recalled the hits of his movies like “Pelli Sandadi” and “Preyasi Raave” that were launched by the hands of Megastar Chiranjeevi. He thanked the megastar for launching the motion poster of “Ra Ra”. Srikanth also hoped that audiences would make this movie a big hit. “This is the first time that I am doing a horror comedy movie in my career,” he said.

Producers said the movie has completed its shooting and is gearing up for release next month. The movie is directed by Vizi Charish Unit.
