Seetha Payanam highlights the value of relationships & It will appeal to audiences of all sections: Action King Arjun Sarja at pre-release event
Arjun is a good human being and a true gentleman: Brahmanandam
Seetha Payanam, directed by Action King Arjun Sarja and starring Niranjan and Aishwarya Arjun as the lead pair, is produced under the Shree Raam Films International banner. With this film, Aishwarya Arjun makes her debut as a heroine. Action Prince Dhruva Sarja plays a crucial role. The film is set for release on February 14th. As part of the promotions, the team held a grand pre-release event on Tuesday, with Hasya Brahma Brahmanandam gracing it as a chief guest.
During the event, environmentalists and social workers Dr. Prakash Amte, Dr. Mandakini Amte, Tank Bund Shiva, and environmental activist Dushcharla Satyanarayana were felicitated by the Seetha Payanam team and contributed 1 lakh for each as financial support.
Speaking at the event, Director–Producer Arjun Sarja said: “Seetha Payanam is not just one person’s journey. I wanted to introduce my daughter with a meaningful and positive film. This is a story of a very different genre. I wanted this movie to be a gift to my daughter. We made this film with the responsibility of giving the audience a good movie. I crafted it with complete honesty.
Niranjan, Upendra garu’s elder brother’s son, is a very talented actor. He performed brilliantly as Abhi. About my daughter—it’s for the audience to judge. I believe everyone will appreciate Aishwarya’s performance. Sathyaraj garu was extremely professional with his dates and time. The father–daughter track and their emotional scenes will stand out. Prakash Raj’s character will also be loved.
Dhruva and I did cameo roles. Anup Rubens’ music and background score are major strengths. My AD Murthy worked very hard on this film; we made this film together. Cameraman Bala Kumaran captured stunning visuals. Though the movie deals with sensitive emotions, it has all the necessary commercial elements. We made this film straight from the heart. It’s a movie that highlights the values of relationships. It is crafted to appeal to all sections of viewers. We hope you watch and support it on February 14th.”
Heroine Aishwarya Arjun stated: “Seetha Payanam is not just a film for me. It is an emotion. It talks about love, family, and values. In this film, Sathyaraj garu plays my father. Many senior artists worked on this movie. I thank my director and producer- my father Arjun garu, for giving me this wonderful opportunity. I will do my best to uphold his name. We made this movie with sincerity and love. Please watch and support it in theatres on February 14th.”
Hero Niranjan said: “We all worked very hard on Seetha Payanam. Telugu audiences have always showered immense love on my uncle Upendra. I hope they show the same affection towards me and our film. Seetha Payanam is a perfect family entertainer releasing on February 14. I thank Arjun garu for introducing me to the Telugu audience, and Aishwarya for her support throughout this journey. I got the role of Abhi because of Dhruva anna. I hope you all watch and make our movie a success.”
Brahmanandam acknowledged: “I came here for Arjun- a good human being and a true gentleman. I was happy when he told me he was going to honour real-life heroes. Very few get the opportunity to felicitate such great people. I acted in Arjun’s Jai Hind 2. He never demands anything and is always calm and composed. I hope Aishwarya earns a great name and brings pride to Arjun. Anup Rubens is a wonderful music director. I wish Arjun, who is deeply spiritual, great success.”
Environmental & Social Worker Dr. Prakash Amte said: “Thank you for inviting us and honouring us at the Seetha Payanam event. Many people in the forests struggle without proper food or clothing; we have been working for them for years. When we go to help people, we also receive immense love from animals. Thank you to Arjun garu for inviting us for this film event.”
Environmental & Social Worker Dr. Mandakini Amte stated: “Thank you, Arjun garu, for inviting us. We live in the forests of Gadchiroli, where we have built a school and a hospital. We continue to work for the tribal communities there. Thank you to the Seetha Payanam team for honouring us.”
Tank Bund Shiva said: “Thanks to Arjun garu for inviting me. His daughter is entering the industry, and I wish her great success. I thank my wife Shantha, who has supported me in my journey.”
Environmental Activist Dushcharla Satyanarayana said: “Thank you to the Seetha Payanam team for inviting me. Everyone should contribute towards protecting the environment.”
Music Director Anup Rubens said: “I thoroughly enjoyed working on Seetha Payanam. I learned a lot from Arjun garu and spent quality time with him. Aishwarya will gain a strong name through this film. It is filled with values and is a perfect family entertainer.”
Actor Sathyaraj said: “Hats off to Arjun garu for honouring real-life heroes on stage. Seetha Payanam will be a remarkable film. Niranjan and Aishwarya look great together. The movie is releasing in four languages. I wish it massive success.”
Actor–Producer Ashok Kumar said: “The title Seetha Payanam itself radiates positivity, and so does this event. Arjun garu is introducing his daughter as the heroine. I’m confident this film will stand out as a good movie.”
Producer Prasanna Kumar stated: “Arjun garu works on set like a hardworking technician. It’s wonderful to see real-life heroes being honoured today. I wish Seetha Payanam great success.”
Dialogue Writer Sai Madhav avowed: “The title Seetha Payanam carries a lot of positivity. This movie will definitely be a big success. It is a film the whole family can enjoy together in theatres.”
A Beautiful Breakup to Release Worldwide on the 13th of This Month
Ilaiyaraaja’s Music to Be a Major Highlight; A Film Produced & directed by Telugu Filmmakers.
Starring Taksh and Matilda in the lead roles, the English feature film “A Beautiful Breakup” is a trendsetting romantic horror thriller. The film is written and directed by the talented Ajith Vasan Uggina.
Produced by 5 Natures Movies International and presented by Mudragada Rangarao and Uggina Satyanarayana Rao, the film has been made entirely in English, targeting a global audience. “A Beautiful Breakup” is all set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on the 13th of this month.
Prior to its global release, an exclusive premiere will be held in Dubai on the 12th. Following its English release, the film is planned to be dubbed and released in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.
On this occasion, director Ajith Vasan Uggina said:
“With the intention of reaching audiences worldwide, we made ‘A Beautiful Breakup’ entirely in English. Music is the biggest strength of our film. We are fortunate that legendary composer Maestro Ilaiyaraaja garu has composed the music for our project.
After watching the film, he himself came forward to be part of this project. With his music, he elevated the film to another level. His orchestral score has given the film its soul, emotions, and a timeless cinematic grandeur.
The core idea of this film is deeply human. A couple does not necessarily have to part ways with hatred; they can separate happily too. There is always a possibility of meeting again somewhere in life. In my view, permanent separation happens only through death. With this thought, we created a fresh, emotionally rich horror thriller.”
Hero Taksh shared:
“A major portion of A Beautiful Breakup was shot in India, in the forest regions of Chikkamagaluru, Karnataka, at a beautiful and serene estate. The mist-filled natural surroundings gave the film a haunting yet beautiful feel.
Cinematography is a major highlight of this film. Our Director of Photography, Gunasekaran, crafted the visuals so beautifully that even Western audiences responded with a ‘Wow.’
Music plays a crucial role in this story. Maestro Ilaiyaraaja composed the score with a full symphony orchestra, collaborating with the internationally renowned Bow Tie Orchestra. The orchestral music wonderfully elevates both the romantic and supernatural layers of the film.
To achieve international visual standards, we completed the color grading in the UK, giving the film a Hollywood-level finish. I extend my special thanks to Max Williams and Kamal Goyal for their support.
Editor Srikanth shaped the story with great care and emotional depth. Rajan’s sound design has added remarkable depth and immersion to the film.
This is not a regular horror film. The supernatural element in the movie is portrayed not as a terrifying ghost but as a sacred spirit. The story is inspired by a real-life incident from the life of a close friend of mine, blended with fiction.”
Expressing his gratitude, Taksh added:
“My heartfelt thanks to our Executive Producer Ravi Barnabas, who stood by me throughout this journey. His guidance at every stage played a crucial role in shaping the film.
Though he joined the project later, Dubai Chowdary gave us the right direction and guided us towards a strong release plan — special thanks to him.
I would also like to thank my co-star Matilda Bajar. Her dedication, hard work, and professionalism are outstanding. One could not ask for more from her.
Special thanks to Rajan for his excellent sound design work and for being associated with the project from start to finish.
Director Ajith Vasan Uggina and I sincerely thank every actor, technician, and crew member who worked tirelessly for this film. ‘A Beautiful Breakup’ is truly the result of collective effort.”
International Release Plans
Following its worldwide theatrical release, the team plans to roll out “A Beautiful Breakup” in additional countries in phases. The target markets include Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, the UK, USA, Canada, Caribbean nations, and major Spanish-speaking regions. The releases will be strategically planned to secure the right positioning in each market.

Perils After Dawn: Navigating the Early Hours in Hyderabad
While Hyderabad is often celebrated for its vibrant nightlife and late-night biryani spots, the hours immediately following dawn—roughly between 5:00 AM and 8:00 AM—present a unique set of hazards. As the city transitions from a slumbering giant to a bustling metropolis, early morning walkers, commuters, and travelers face specific risks ranging from traffic volatility to environmental dangers.
- The “Speed Trap”: Morning Traffic Hazards
One of the most significant perils in Hyderabad after dawn is the unpredictability of the roads.
- Reduced Visibility: During winter months (November to February), heavy fog can reduce visibility to a few meters, especially on the ORR (Outer Ring Road) and near water bodies like Hussain Sagar.
- The Lawless Gap: Before traffic police fully man the junctions (usually around 8:00 AM), some drivers treat red lights as optional. Speeding is rampant as private buses and heavy vehicles rush to enter or leave the city before daytime restrictions kick in.
- Drunk Driving Residuals: Though the city is strict with “Drunk and Drive” checks, the early morning hours occasionally see drivers returning from late-night parties who are still under the influence.
- Pedestrian and Jogger Vulnerability
For the city’s many “morning walkers,” the streets of Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills, and the Kothapet-LB Nagar stretch can be surprisingly dangerous.
- Speeding Accidents: Statistics show a rise in accidents involving pedestrians during early hours because drivers don’t expect people on the road.
- Stray Animal Encounters: Packs of stray dogs are often more active and territorial during the dawn hours, posing a threat to lone joggers.
- Infrastructure Risks: In the monsoon season, waterlogging can hide open manholes or loose electrical wires. Electrocution in parks has been a noted concern during the rainy months.
- Safety and Security Concerns
While Hyderabad’s crime rate is generally manageable compared to other Indian metros, the isolation of certain areas at dawn can be a risk.
Secluded Spots: Areas like the KBR Park perimeter or the Gandipet road can be quite isolated. Isolated walkers have occasionally reported “snatching” incidents (gold chains or mobile phones) by offenders on bikes.
Unauthorized Transport: Travelers arriving early at Secunderabad or Nampally stations may be approached by private, unauthorized cabs. These “scam taxis” often overcharge or, in worse cases, pose a security risk.
How Citizens Should Avoid These Perils
To enjoy the serenity of a Hyderabad morning without the risks, follow these proactive measures:
Risk Category Safety Measure
Visibility Wear reflective gear or bright colors if you are jogging. Use high-visibility lights if cycling.
Traffic Never assume a vehicle will stop at a signal before 8:00 AM. Always walk facing oncoming traffic so you can see vehicles approaching.
Commuting Use official apps (Uber, Ola, or the Pushpak Airport Bus). Avoid getting into private vehicles that don’t have a yellow commercial plate.
Stray Animals Carry a small whistle or a stick if walking in areas known for stray dogs. Try to walk in groups rather than alone.
Infrastructure Avoid walking near electric poles or heavy puddles during or after rain. Stick to well-paved tracks like those in Pala Pitta Cycling Park or Parade Grounds.
Pro-Tip: If you are a woman traveling alone early in the morning, utilize the “She Cabs” service or the “Hawkeye” app provided by the Telangana Police, which has a dedicated “Travel Safe” feature.
