'Aata' audio launch on April 27

The audio of 'Aata' directed by VN Aditya and produced by MS Raju on the banner of Sumanth Arts with Siddhartha and Ileana in the lead is ready for launch on April 27.

Devisri Prasad scored music for this film.

Producer MS Raju says, 'The hero in this film keeps doing his own job and lives happily. Suddenly, a girl enters into his life. Along with that girl, a problem would also surface. How the hero solved the problem of that girl and won her love is the subject. Like Maheshbabu was found apt for the film 'Okkadu', Siddhartha would be very apt for the hero's role in 'Aata'. In 'Okkadu' also the hero resolves the problem of the heroine and wins her love. In our latest film also the same kind of theme repeats but with a different thread.'

Indiaglitz wishes that the latest film of MS Raju, 'Aata', would be a big hit, as the producer is known for giving more preference to the movement of the story rather than the real subject.
