Facebook Logo Launch

R P Patnaik’s next directorial venture under Dr Malla Vijay Prasad’s Welfare Creations banner is ‘Facebook’. The logo of this film was released today at Prasad Labs in Hyderabad. K S Rama Rao graced the function and released the logo while the film’s first look was unveiled by VV Vinayak.

Later while speaking producer Dr Malla Vijay Prasad said, “I was impressed with the message in the story when RP Patnaik narrated me. I normally expect to pass on some message to audience through the films I make. We are going to show the advantages and disadvantages of Facebook through this film. We made this film without any publicity because we intend to do some wonder. I’m confident that the audience will watch and enjoy this film just like our films in the past. I was shocked when RP Patnaik insisted to shoot the a part of the film in USA. But then he managed to shoot the film within the budget limit. He is a committed person.”

VV Vinayak said, “RP Patnaik worked for my ‘Dil’ film. He is not only a good actor and music director but also a good human being. Everyone is aware about the success of his first directorial film ‘Broker’. I congratulate Malla Vijay Prasad garu for making this film.”

Mehar Ramesh said, “A Hollywood film based on the social networking site was a huge hit. I wish this film will also become a big hit. Malla Vijay Prasad garu is producing my current film ‘Power’ with Ravi Teja in the lead.”

K S Rama Rao said, “At the time the industry was feeling happy to see a great music director after a very long time, RP Patnaik changed his gear to acting and then to direction. He is a multi-talented person. Malla Vijay Prasad is a good producer who decides on films instantly and at the same time he makes meaningful films. I wish to see him make more and more films in the near future.”

Dasarath said, “RP Patnaik always does what he believes. He earned good reputation as a music director, actor and director. I wish to see this film becoming a big hit.”

RP Patnaik said, “Malla Vijay Prasad garu okayed the film in the first meeting itself. We started to shoot the film in June and completed it in 47 days. He supported me a lot by providing whatever required. One fine day he came to the studio and saw the first half of the film and later asked when we can have the press meet. I’m happy that he liked the film. We all have worked hard for this film. Many have opined that I’ve missed the commercial elements in ‘Broker’. However this film will have all required elements. There are lot of people in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu who are living with Facebook. Nevertheless this film will not be as per their predictions.”
