Dulquer Salmaan and Pooja Hegde-starrer 'Sri Sri', directed by Ravi Nelakuditi, has reportedly wrapped up its Europe schedule, with the unit completing key sequences filmed in Hungary, according to sources close to the production. The pan-India romantic entertainer, produced by SLV Cinemas, is among the more keenly awaited multilingual projects currently in production.
Hungary Schedule Wrapped
Sources familiar with the unit confirmed that the team had travelled to Hungary to shoot important sequences and has since completed the schedule. The specifics of what was filmed abroad have not been officially disclosed by the makers. The film, which went on floors in August last year, is progressing through its production phases.
Star-Studded Cast and Crew
Beyond the lead pair of Dulquer Salmaan and Pooja Hegde, the film features a strong ensemble. Veteran actor Jagapathi Babu was welcomed on board in February this year, with production house SLV Cinemas announcing his inclusion via an X post on his birthday. The cast also includes Ramya Krishnan and Deekshith Shetty in pivotal roles.
On the technical side, GV Prakash — a two-time National Award winner — is composing the music. Anay Goswamy serves as cinematographer, Avinash Kolla heads production design, and Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao is the editor.
A Grand Mahurat in Hyderabad
The project was launched with a formal pooja ceremony in Hyderabad, where Natural Star Nani gave the clap for the mahurat shot and Buchi Babu switched on the camera. 'Dasara' director Srikanth Odela also attended the ceremony to bless the team.
Sharing glimpses from the launch, Dulquer described the film as 'a heartwarming contemporary love story,' adding that the event was graced by 'blockbuster directors' Srikanth Odela and Buchi Babu.
Pan-India Ambitions
Backed by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the SLV Cinemas banner, 'Sri Sri' is touted as a pan-India release, set to reach audiences in five languages. With the Europe schedule now behind them, the unit is expected to move into the next phase of production. A release timeline has not yet been officially announced.
Point of View
Pooja Hegde, Jagapathi Babu, and Ramya Krishnan together signal a film aiming well beyond its Telugu base. The five-language release ambition, backed by SLV Cinemas which has a track record of large-scale productions, puts this squarely in competition with the crowded pan-India space — a lane that has grown significantly more competitive since 'RRR'. Whether the romantic entertainer format can cut through that noise will depend heavily on GV Prakash's music and the chemistry the lead pair brings to screen.
