Fresh from his block buster success Yamadonga in the direction of S.S.Rajamouli, NTR in his slim avatar looks even more macho with stubble in the first images circulated of KANTRI. It may be recalled that NTR was successfully introduced in a lead role in the film Student No.1 few years ago also directed by S.S. Raja Mouli and produced by Vyjayanthi’s associate production house Swapna Cinema. Now for the first time NTR stars in a film by Vyjayanthi banner that bears the image of the legendary Sr. NTR as their logo.

KANTRI is reported to be a fast paced Action, Romantic Entertainer with extraordinary production values - a trademark of all Vyjayanthi Productions. Music is by Manisharma whose consistency for chart busting music is unquestionable. The Music launch would be done through the hands of All India Super Star Rajini Kanth in the third week of March’08.

Hansika Motwani who stole young hearts of A.P. with her first film Desamuduru and later of the whole of India with her debut film in Bollywood teams up with NTR for the first time. The second female lead is the ravishing Tanisha (Bollywood Top Star Kajol’s sister) who makes her debut in Telugu.

KANTRI is slated for a mid-summer release towards the end of April. KAD Entertainment has acquired the Overseas Theatrical and home video rights of this much anticipated movie. This is the second major acquisition by KAD in a row, close on the heels of another summer release Parugu. The Summer seems to be hotting up.
