“I try and focus on doing good films but their result is not in my hands. I can’t always sign a film hoping to score a hit. It’s important that we give a good product and whether it will succeed or not is for the audience to decide,” Nani had told IANS.
Jointly produced by DVV Danayya and Kona Venkat, the film has music by Gopi Sundar.
Rana Daggubati, recently, during the screening of Ninnu Kori, said Nivetha Thomas is Telugu cinemas best find in recent times. Post the screening, he tweeted: “Saw a beautiful film with some exceptional performers. ‘Ninnu Kori’. So happy and proud that I’m working in a time of such brilliant people.”
Rana went on to add, “Nivetha, you are Telugu cinema’s best find in recent times”.
Also, director Shiva Nirvana said that Ninnu Kori will be the most emotional film in its lead actor Nani’s career. “It’s a romantic film about the emotional conflict between the lead characters. This is easily the most emotional film in Nani’s career. But it’s not a sad film. It has a great scope for comedy, but it’s not forced to make audiences laugh,” he said.
