In that fight, one could find the goodness, comedy, steadfastness and glamour. As the hero leads the family in getting out of the problems, we decided to give it a title as 'Maharathi'. Almost everyone gave a positive response to the title. In fact, Balakrishna is the brain behind the subject. About a year ago, he asked me to prepare a good story. We both sit together and zeroed in on a storyline. And I expanded it. Balakrishna himself selected Vakada Appa Rao as the producer and P Vasu as director. The film is a clean family entertainer and works on a wonderful screenplay. Each and every character in the film is equally important. Especially the character being played by Jayaprada is excellent and she also performed well. I too played a role in this film. Pradeep Rawat did villainy. We started the film on April 29 and completed it by October 12. The characters played by Balakrishna in this film are quite good. It is a different character and done never before by Balakrishna. We are sure that it would be a big hit.' Producer Vakada Appa Rao says, 'I and Kodi Ramakrishna together started this 'Sri Lalitha Kalanjali' banner some 22 years ago. After some gap, Balakrishna gave me a good chance to produce a film. Vasu had an experience of directing over 52 films. He knows how to extract the kind of performance from every artiste.
