It’s been an interesting journey.”

Music Director Vamsikanth Rekhana said. “I am happy to be part of a good film like ‘Hello It’s Me.’ The film shows how today’s youth should and should not behave. After Varun Sandesh joined the project, I became even more excited. He liked all the songs very much.”

Producer VSK Sanjeev said, “After we announced the film, I received questions from my circle asking why a successful businessman would enter filmmaking, where there is no guarantee of success. People also asked why we made a heroine the director. But when Shagna narrated the story, her passion was very clear. She is a girl with strong determination to achieve something. Even after becoming a heroine, she didn’t stop; she is now directing the film. I wanted to support someone with such passion. Varun Sandesh has been like a brother to us, and we will never forget his support. Our team is working passionately, and after seeing their dedication, I started going to shoots every day. Soon, we will release the film with good content.”

This film, made with so much effort by our team, will definitely impress the audience.”

Director of Ninda, Rajesh Jaganatham (RJ) said, “It is very rare for a young heroine to act and direct a film at the same time. Shagna deserves our appreciation. Producers Sanjeev, Sandeep, and Sankeerth are very passionate. I am working with them on the film Athreyapuram Brothers. Varun Sandesh has been doing consecutive thrillers, and in this film, we will see him in a good family romantic-comedy genre.”

Heroine & Director Shagna Sri Venun said, “This is my first film as a director. I am making it with a strong story. Every boy and girl can relate to it, and the youth will connect with our film. When the film was announced, people spoke negatively about a heroine directing a film. But our producers trusted me and made the film without paying attention to doubts. There is no gender difference in direction; what matters is whether the scene turns out as imagined. For that, the team’s support is essential, and I am fortunate to have such a supportive team. Varun Sandesh supported me immensely. I narrated the story to him for several hours, and he listened patiently and cooperated fully. Only a few shooting days are left. I thank our editor Chota K Prasad, DOP, music director, my direction team, and all the artists.”

Hero Darshan Madamanchi said, “When Shagna narrated this story, I found it very interesting and immediately wanted to perform this character. Such opportunities don’t come often; it took me a few years to get an offer like this. Every artist has their time, and today it’s our turn. This film will make audiences remember all of us.”

Hero Varun Sandesh said, “My recent project Nayanam received good appreciation. I have been doing thrillers continuously, and at such a time, I am doing a clean family love film with ‘Hello It’s Me.’ This film beautifully shows the problems youth face due to misunderstandings. Shagna narrated the story in a next-level way, and I immediately believed she would make a good film. My recent project Nayanam was also directed by a woman director, Swathi, and became a hit. I trust Shagna will continue that success. Audiences still love songs from my previous films like Kotha Bangaru Lokam and Happy Days; this film’s songs will fill that gap. Vamsikanth has given excellent music. I wish passionate producers Sandeep, Sanjeev, and Sankeerth great success with this film. I request everyone to support our team.”
