Vijay Antony’s latest film, Love Guru, marks his first foray into the romantic entertainer genre, with Mrinalini Ravi as the leading lady. Produced under Vijay Antony’s own banner, and co-produced by Meera Vijay Antony, the film is directed by Vinayak Vaidyanathan. Slated for release on April 11, Love Guru will be distributed by Mythri Movie Distribution. The pre-release event for the movie was held in Hyderabad yesterday. On this occasion, Director Vinayak Vaidyanathan shared, “My love for Hyderabad began when I worked in the direction department of Oke Oka Jeevitham. After directing a short film and contemplating my next steps, Vijay Antony called me to discuss Love Guru. The story emphasises that love can make anything possible in this universe.
Producer Ravi Shankar said, “Vijay Antony is a versatile actor. His movie Bichagadu is still a favorite among family audiences. Apart from Tamil Nadu, Vijay’s films are also loved in Telugu. Mrinalini has become famous by acting in many Telugu films. This movie will further recognise her talent.”
Heroine Mrinalini Ravi said, “I played the character of Leela in Love Guru. This is the best character I’ve gotten in my career. Mine is a role that has equal importance in the story as that of the hero. I think I have done justice to Leela’s character. Vijay Antony sent me to acting classes for Love Guru. I don’t know if another producer would do this. After watching this movie, you will fall in love with your life partners once again.”
Meanwhile, Vijay Antony said, “My dream was to be associated with Mythri Movie Makers. I’m happy to see that dream come true with Love Guru. They don’t just look at it from a business angle. I would like to work with Mythri on more movies! After hearing the story of Love Guru, I told director that it would be the biggest hit in my career after Bichagadu. I plan to make this movie in Hindi too, under his direction! I want my friends to collaborate on that project. I can also say that the leading actress will win the National Award for this movie. She acted so well.”
