Naga Chaitanya’s upcoming film Autonagar Surya finally went on floors today. Samantha is playing the lead role and Deva Katta is directing the film. Although he was quite happy with the first day’s shoot, the film unit had to face the ire of Telangana supporters. When the film’s shooting was in progress at Chinna Shapoor village near Hyderabad, a group of Telangana activists surrounded the unit and raised slogan. Despite repeated attempts to appease the crowd, the group of Telangana activists didn’t budge. The shooting was stalled for quite sometime which forced the film unit to relocate to a different venue.
The film is about a guy who rebels against the system and it has the backdrop of automobile industry in Vijayawada. Anup Rubens is composing the music. Srikanth Naroj is the cinematographer. Ravinder is the art director. Atchi Reddy is producing the film on Max India banner and RR Venkat is presenting the film on RR Movie Makers banner.
