'Damarukam' treat for Nagarjuna's fans

Akkineni Nagarjuna's last Telugu release "Shirdi Sai" may have failed to create a stir at the box office, but director Srinivasa Reddy says he has whipped up a treat for the star's fans in the form of "Damarukam".

"I'm always indebted to my producers R.R. Makers and hero Nagarjuna for believing in me. They never compromised one bit in the production department and gave me everything I asked for. This film ('Damarukam') will be a treat to Nag's (Nagarjuna) fans across the globe," Reddy said at the music launch of "Damarukam" here Monday.

Set to release Oct 19, the Telugu socio-fantasy is loosely based on the bestseller "The Immortals of Meluha" and also features Anushka Shetty. Model-turned-actor Ganesh Venkataraman will be seen in a prominent role.

Devi Sri Prasad has composed music for the film.
