It is about six years since Darshaka Ratna Dasari Narayana Rao acted in films. This all-round personality is well known for his directorial skills, acting abilities and also for being a Journalist.
Dasari had been into active politics as a Senior Politician and Central Minister for about six years, and interestingly is making a comeback on the silver screen playing the lead role in a film titled 'Mesthri'.
The film is expected to be a big budget extravaganza hovering around the Rs. 22 Crores mark. Dasari himself is producing the film and the director is a pupil of his. Interestingly, this pupil never had an opportunity to work with him in any film.
Apart from the fact that Dasari is playing the lead role in the film, the rest of the cast is yet to be finalized although big names are expected to fill in.
The timing of the movie's release is quite interesting with general elections around the corner. The title of the film also seems to be aptly chosen because Dasari is referred to as Guguvu and Mesthri by many in the film industry.
The movie is expected to start filming very soon and plans are on to get it released by the New Year in a bid to compete with films that get released during the Sankranthi festival.
