Director Prabhakar Jaini, who presented the pain of surrogate mothers through the film ‘Amma Neeku Vandanam’, is coming up with another film titled ‘Ampasayya’ with Vjayalakshmi as producer. Few decades ago, a famous writer Ampasayya, who put the novel name as his sir name, has penned a story and it is really an adventurous thing that the story is being carved out as a film. Now, ‘Ampasayya’ was filmed at Osmania University. Jaini Creations and Om Namo Bhagavathe Vasudevaya Films are jointly producing the film that features Shyam Kumar and Pavani as hero and heroine respectively. The film has only one song. Music director Sandeep has provided musical scores, while Sri Hemachandra has rendered his voice to the song. A father in the film, due to his poverty, was unable to arrange Rs.200 (In 1960 to 1970) for his son for studying MA. Then the student’s mother gives her silver anklets to sell them and get money. But they get only Rs.150 and therefore father tells his son to adjust with that amount. When the son tells his father the fees is Rs.200, tears rolled down his father’s cheeks for his helpless position. The only song in the film will comes as montage song in that situation. Director Prabhakar Jaini and producer Vijaya Lakshmi Jaini played the father and mother roles. Lyrics will touches everyone’s hearts.
The song comes in the lines “Koduka, Komaruda, Putruda, Vamshaniki Varasuda, Koti Aashala Phalama, Punnama Narakanni Datinche Theerama….” As the film is set in the backdrop of 1960 to 1970, the film reflects that atmosphere, costumes, desires, beliefs, caste system and houses of that era.
“Plans are going on to release the film simultaneously in Tamil and Malayalam as well. We are making improvements by taking the suggestions of some experts. DI has been completed. Recording is being done by GV,” said the film unit.
Shyam Kumar, Pavani, Monica Thompson, Sarath, Yogi Diwan, Radha Krishna, Valmiki and Swathi Naidu and some Telugu University students have played in the film.
Akella Raghavendra will appear in the song.
