So far, the ‘Shashtipoorthi’ team has released three romantic songs. Now, justifying the film’s title, they have released a thematic song that reflects the essence of Shashtipoorthi. This song was launched by noted director Nag Ashwin, who conveyed his best wishes to the team.

The newly released thematic song was penned by Chaitanya Prasad, sung by Karthik and Vibhavari Apte Joshi, and choreographed by Swarna master.

Talking about the song, director Pavan Prabha said:

“Veyi Venuvula Naadam Mogey Haayi Haayi Hridayana! Prema Mantramula Gaanam Saage Ee Muhurta Samayana! Saradale Sarigamalai Palikina ShubhaveLa… Aravai Lo Iravailaa Virisina Varamala…”
This song, so beautifully written by Chaitanya Prasad, will now be a must-play at any Shashtipoorthi celebration. What more can one say about the music of maestro Ilaiyaraaja? I was overwhelmed watching the song being recorded live.
Veteran art director Thota Tharani exquisitely recreated a traditional manduva logili (a courtyard house) for this song. Watching this song gives you the same emotional high as being at a real wedding. Rajendra Prasad, Archana, our leads Rupeysh and Aakanksha Singh have truly brought life to it. This is a song that will be remembered for a long time.”

Over the years, he has earned a reputation for choosing roles that combine compelling concepts with deep emotional resonance.

His films are seen not just as entertainment, but as meaningful cinema that engages the viewer on multiple levels.

One such upcoming film is Ace, directed by Arumuga Kumar, with Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role and Rukmini Vasanth playing the female lead. The film is produced under the banner of 7Cs Entertainment by Arumuga Kumar himself.

Meanwhile, the Telugu distribution rights for Ace have been acquired by Shree Padmini Cinemas. Under the presentation of Smt. Padma, Shree Padmini Cinemas, headed by B Shiva Prasad, will be releasing the film across both Telugu states.

Kajal Aggarwal, who once shone brightly in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi cinema, is currently taking on roles of lesser significance. While this might be a bit disappointing for her fans, she’s adhering to the adage “out of sight, out of mind” and accepting offers as they come.

Kajal will be seen as the devoted wife of Dashakantha (Ravana).
This epic is being made in two parts, with Part 1 expected to release in 2026.
