Sammathame, starring Kiran Abbavaram and Chandini Chowdary in lead roles, is a musical romantic film directed by Gopinath Reddy. The short glimpse released today introduces the lead characters.
The characters are named Krishna and Sathyabama, in what might be a modern day retelling of the mythological story. The teaser opens with shots of Chandini Chowdary drinking beer and smoking. The characters then play a game where they have to not sing a song but say it. While Krishna picks a classic from Coolie No.1 – 'Kotha Kothaga Unnadi' sung by S.P. Balasubrahmanyam and Chitra, Sathyabama picks 'Andamga lena' from Godavari sung by Sunitha. Both of them essay the role of a corporate employee and lead a common urban person's life. The teaser sets an expectation of a fun and breezy romantic drama.
Kiran Abbavaram was last seen in SR Kalyanamandapam, which was a family drama. Chandini Chowdary's Colour Photo was much acclaimed.
The film is the first to be produced under the banner of UG Productions, bankrolled by Kankanala Praveena. The teaser also gives the audience a glimpse of Shekar Chandra's music. The film has Sateesh Reddy Masam as the cinematographer and Viplav Nyshadam as the editor.
