Niharika Konidela’s Pink Elephant Pictures has officially launched its second feature film production with a traditional pooja ceremony at the Glass House, Annapurna Studios, in Hyderabad.
It is currently tentatively referred to as ‘#PEP2’ and is described as a “fantasy-comedy”, aiming to blend imaginative elements with humor for all audiences.
Manasa Sharma is making her feature film directorial debut with this project. She previously directed successful web series like ‘Oka Chinna Family Story’ (which Niharika also produced and Sangeeth Shobhan starred in) and ‘Bench Life’.
The film features a fresh pairing of Sangeeth Shobhan and Nayan Sarika in the lead roles. The ensemble cast also includes popular actors like Vennela Kishore, Brahmaji, Tanikella Bharani, Ashish Vidyarthi, Getup Srinu, and others.
Manasa Sharma has written the story, and she co-wrote the screenplay and dialogues with Mahesh Uppala.
The launch event was graced by prominent industry figures, including directors Nag Ashwin (who gave the first clap), Mallidi Vassishta (who switched on the camera), and Kalyan Shankar (who directed the first shot).
