Making a period film is a tedious task for any filmmaker. If that is a period biopic then it requires much more effort. Director Nag Ashwin has taken up the challenge of presenting legendary Telugu actress Savitri's life on to the silver screen. It is known that the movie is produced by Swapna Cinemas. Renowned producer Ashwini Dutt's daughters Priyanka and Swapna handled the production.
Recently, they revealed how tough it is to handle a biopic like 'Mahanati' as producers. Speaking about her journey as a producer Priyanka said "We are inclined to film industry as we were brought up in cinema environment from childhood. When we were doing 'Yevade Subramanyam' dad didn't have confidence in us but it was mom who believed us and encouraged to pursue our dream."
Priyanka also revealed that her mother Vinaya Kumari has been a pillar of support in taking up 'Mahanati' movie. Priyanka added "When Nag Ashwin and I were planning Savitri biopic but things didn't work for us initially. Then my mother gave us Savitri autobiography book, things started working for us to move in the right direction."
Priyanka sister Swapna also revealed her experience with 'Mahanati'. She said that 'Mahanati' is a tough project because we know very less about Savitri garu and her lifestyle. She said they got some information when they contacted Savitri's daughter Vijaya Chamundeswari. She proudly declared they have a mini-museum of Savitri now.
