Blending humor with emotion, Bakasura Restaurant is a film designed with the goal of entertaining the audience for two and a half hours. The team says that watching this film will feel like having a grand feast.
Character artist and comedian Praveen, who has gained good recognition for his acting and dialogue delivery, is playing the lead role in Bakasura Restaurant. Actor Viva Harsha plays the title role. The film also features Krishna Bhagavan, Shining Phani, KGF Garuda Ram, and others in key roles.
This film marks the directorial debut of SJ Shiva and is being produced by Lakshmayya Achari and Janardhan Achari under the SJ Movies banner. Positioned as a “hunger comedy entertainer,” the movie is set for a worldwide release on August 8. The songs and trailer released recently have received a good response. The pre-release event was held in Hyderabad, where actor Sudheer Babu was the chief guest.
At the event, Sudheer Babu said:
“Praveen is one of my favorite actors. Whenever a director asks me for suggestions, I always mention his name. He is always passionate about making any film successful. Now he’s stepping into the lead role with this movie. He’s not just a good actor but also a good human being who respects everyone. I hope this film will be a big break for him. Congratulations to the producer for making such a fun-centric film. I wish the entire cast receives great recognition. Laughter should never be postponed — everyone should enjoy this movie together in the theater as a family.”
Producer Janardhan Achari said:
“The story is the hero of this movie. The director has executed it very well. Along with actors Praveen, Viva Harsha, and the rest of us, we’ve prepared a delicious dish at Bakasura Restaurant. We hope everyone enjoys it. We’re releasing the movie under Dil Raju’s SV banner.”
Director SJ Shiva shared:
“I worked in the direction department for Virupaksha, and that experience helped me become a director. That film was a great learning opportunity. My brother has now turned producer for my debut film. This story got amazing music. Composer Vikas Badisa has a bright future ahead. Praveen agreeing to do this film is the main reason it materialized. We carefully selected talented actors that suit the story. Roles played by Viva Harsha and Phani will stand out. The film will go beyond what the trailer promises. It has many surprises and is a complete family entertainer that will make everyone laugh out loud.”
Actor Praveen said:
“It feels great that the hero of Prema Katha Chitram, the film that became a turning point in our lives, came as the guest today. I sincerely thank the director and producers for believing in me and making me the central part of the story. Vikas Badisa’s music has become the talk of the town. All the technicians gave their best. When Shiva narrated the story, I had full confidence he could make a great film. Bakasura Restaurant is a must-watch family and emotional entertainer.”
