Plot[link]

Abhiram or Abhi (Sharwanand), as called by his friends and family, is the son of a multi-millionaire called GK (ArunKumar). He is born and brought up in comfort and luxury; for him life is just a game and he is accustomed to a lavish lifestyle. He is portrayed to be a happy-go-lucky character and quite popular with the women. He comes across Janaki (Kamalinee Mukherjee), a young, charming doctor. Abhi tells his friends that he will make her fall in love in few days. Abhi invites Janaki for coffee after a dance programme and proposes to her.

Janaki, being an orphan, is very kind toward poor people and is a good Samaritan. She mingles with poor people and provides succour to them. Abhi hates those people. However, Janaki's free-spirited nature takes him very near to her, and he develops an intimate friendship. At the same time, Janaki keeps maintaining some distance and does not express her love. Though she likes him, she can't love him for he's not sensitive to the people and things around him. A privileged upbringing makes him myopic to the hard realities of life. By the time, she wants to express her love, she learns that Abhi has challenged his friends about his love and decides to keep herself off.

While driving her to her hostel in his car after a party, Abhi tries to convince her that he is really in love, but she does not listen to him. In the process, Abhi has an accident, where a woman dies and her son is orphaned. Janaki survives the accident, while Abhi wakes up from injuries in hospital. After gaining consciousness, Abhi cannot find Janaki and he decides to go in search of her on his bike.

In the process, he meets a motorbike thief called Gaali Seenu (Allari Naresh). Though Seenu is a vehicle thief, he is good at heart. The journey Abhi takes changes his life drastically: He is exposed to the hard realities of rural life and its simple joys. The landscapes and the people he meets takes him through an emotional journey that alters his perceptions forever. Be it a teacher who supports orphan kids, a disillusioned ex-militant, a prostitute who craves for love, or his companion Gaali Seenu, they all aid in his journey to self-discovery.

Background[link]

Director Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi completed his graduate studies in the United States and returned to India with the sole intention of becoming a filmmaker. Because his parents were not supportive, he started an education consulting firm. Meanwhile, he worked as an assistant to Rasool, who directed Okarikokaru. After a year and a half of success, Jagarlamudi returned to his dream of making films. When travelling across the state of Maharashtra during a research on a film topic, he connected with his vehicle driver. From here, he obtained the initial inspiration and wrote a story about two people with different outlook towards life travelling together.^[1]

Initially, Jagarlamudi wanted to make this story in Hindi. With Aaj Jeeyenge as the title, one of his ideas was to picturise the story starting in Delhi, travelling through Bihar and ending the film's climax in Chattisgarh. On occasion, he met Nagaraju Gandham, a Nandi Award-winning theatre writer. With Gandham, Jagarlamudi prepared the script. When the daughter of a popular producer of Telugu films approached him if he had any scripts for a small-budget film, he narrated the story which was now based in the state of Andhra Pradesh. To further tighten the loose ends in his script, Jagarlamudi consulted with his family, friends and well-wishers in the film industry such as K. Raghavendra Rao, Gunnam Gangaraju and Sirivennela Sitaramasastri. After undergoing several modifications and changes, the eighth version of the script was decided to be the final one. Without commitment from any producer, he decided to produce the film.^[1] Eventually, his father Saibaba Jagarlamudi produced the film.^[2]

Rao Ramesh^[1] is an Indian actor and is the son of renowned Tollywood actor Rao Gopal Rao. He never wanted to become an actor. He wanted to become an acclaimed still photographer. But the destiny has other plans for him. He became a late bloomer in Telugu film industry. His character as reformed Naxalite in Gamyam film changed his future forever.

Early life[link]

Rao Ramesh was born in Srikakulam and brought up in Chennai. He completed his B. Com in Chennai. He wanted to drop out of school in his +2. He got interested in still photography during that time and used to go to British library & American library to study books on photography. He used to be so much passionate about reading that he usually forget shaving his beard.

Career[link]

Rao joined KS Prakasa Rao (Son of K. Raghavendra Rao) as an assistant. But Rao was not provided with any petty work because of the respect Prakasa Rao carries towards his father. During that time cinematographer VSR Swamy encouraged and sent him to a friend of his at Bangalore. He learnt about industrial photography over there. They used Cinar cameras which costs around 16 lakhs each. He also applied for a course in live action and animation in The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, California. But his parents did not want Rao to pursue it.

Later he penned a couple of stories and wanted to direct films. But his mother encouraged him to pursue acting in line ela his father. Initially he was reluctant about acting but his mother but he could later pursue the one. Ghantasala Ratna Kumar was doing TV serials and he made me act in one such serial. The opening shot was about getting intimate with a girl and he was all nervous. That serial was stalled in the middle.

Then he got an offer to act as the brother of Simran in Bala Krishna’s Seema Simham. It was a small and passive character without a dialogue. Afterwards he couldn't get many offers. Then he was back in Chennai and started acting in serials like Pavitra Bandham, Kalavari Kodalu etc. He worked on TV serials for over 4 and half years.

Breakthrough[link]

Bibo Srinivas, Murali Srinivas and Panguluri Srinivas were his classmates in Chennai. Director Krish is the brother-in-law of Bibo Srinivas. Krish was trying to direct a film for around three years and as Rao was an avid reader of poetry and very fond of C. Narayana Reddy’s work ‘Kavitha Naa Chirunama’, they made him to narrate some poetry to Krish. Krish liked the ferocity in Rao's narration and promised him a role in his film. It took over three years to start Krish’s Gamyam. Shambo Shiva Shambo (2010). -In Kollywood Films he started Easan (2010) directed by Samuthirakani.
