Veteran filmmaker A. Karunakaran, known for his National Award-winning debut Tholi Prema and signature feel-good entertainers, is officially making his comeback. The director has begun work on a new romantic comedy starring Bellamkonda Ganesh, marking Production No.1 from Golden Turtle Entertainments.
The project was launched with a traditional pooja ceremony. Renowned director V. V. Vinayak gave the ceremonial clap, while Anudeep KV, who is also handling the dialogues, switched on the camera and handed over the script. Music for the film will be composed by Bheems Ceciroleo, adding to the promising technical team.
Karunakaran’s Legacy of Romantic Entertainers
A. Karunakaran has built a strong reputation for emotionally rich romantic storytelling over the years. After winning a National Film Award for his debut Tholi Prema, he went on to earn a Nandi Award for Ullasanga Utsahanga. His filmography includes several beloved titles like Darling, Vasu, and Happy_—all known for their heartfelt emotions and strong family appeal.
A Refreshing Change in Today’s Market
