First look: Anushka Shetty in Panchakshri

After the super-successful Arundhati, Anushka Shetty is choosing her roles carefully. This time around she will be seen in yet another woman-centric Telugu film, Panchakshari where she has a double role.

The film also stars Vijay Samrat, Nazar, Chandramohan, Brahmanandam, Pradeep Rawath, Ali, Raghubabu, MS Narayana, Uttej and Sudha.

Bommadevara Ramchandra Rao (Chandra to many), a makeup man in the industry for more than three decades who has worked with many actors (he is Nagarjuna's personal make-up man and in fact did make-up for Anushka when she entered the industry with Super) is turning producer with this film. V Samudra is the director and Chinna is the music director.

The entire ANR family including Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya, Sumanth and Sushanth were present at the audio release recently to support Chandra. Chandra seems to have worked hard on the script which seems to be the strong element of the film.

The buzz is that Panchakshari is similar to Arundhati. But Anushka dismisses this rumour. "Panchakshari is not like Arundhati. While Arundhati was a revenge drama with the theme of rebirth, Panchakshari is a simple story about two girls."
