Junior NTR moved to tears by Nivetha Thomas’ performance in 118

Right from his debut in 2003, Kalyan Ram’s film journey has been a roller-coaster ride filled with ups and downs. After the back-to-back debacles of ‘MLA’ and ‘Naa Nuvve’, the 40-year-old actor is firmly determined to bag a solid hit in 2019 and looks like his latest project ‘118’ has all the ingredients to strike the right chord with modern viewers.Directed by popular cinematographer KV Guhan, the slick and stylishly cut trailer has already garnered positive responses from all corners.
Slated for a release on March 1, the pre-release event of 118 happened yesterday at the JRC Conventions in Film Nagar. Nandamuri scions Balakrishna and Junior NTR graced the event as Chief Guests and enthralled the fans big-time. Balayya Babu praised Kalyan Ram for his strong penchant to tell different stories and introduce new talents under his own production house, NTR Arts.
Speaking amid the constant cheering of fans, NTR termed 118 as the best movie and performance in Kalyan Ram’s career. “I happened to watch 118. Nivetha Thomas’ performance in a particular scene literally moved me to tears. She is truly one of the best actors in this generation. And Shalini will surely go places after the release.”
Bankrolled by East Coast Productions, the film features Nivetha Thomas & ‘Arjun Reddy’ beauty Shalini Pandey as the two female leads. Noted producer-cum-distributor Dil Raju has acquired the theatrical rights of 118 for both the Telugu states.
