- Mamitha Baiju with Pradeep and Vikram Prabhu in Tollywood

After Thalapathy 69 , Mamitha Baiju has signed a film opposite Pradeep Ranganathan of Love Today. The film is directed by one of the associates of Sudha Kongara. Her forthcoming film in Telugu is Dear Krishna releasing in January end. It is a bilingual (Telugu-Malayalam) film directed by Dinesh Baboo. “We did not want to dub the film in Telugu because we wanted to retain the essence of the story. We believed that we can do justice to the story if we shoot in Telugu – hence we simultaneously shot the film in Telugu along with Malayalam version,” said Dinesh. “Dear Krishna film is inspired from real life incident that happened in Kerala,” says director Dinesh Babu. “The film is based on an incident that happened to Akshay Krishnan a plus two student in 2018. The story is a testament to the miracles that unfold when we surrender to a higher power. Such miracles can happen to any person who believed in God.” The director further clarifies that Mamitha Baiju is not playing Akshay Krishnan’s love interest in the film. “But she plays one of the central characters in the story and drives the narrative along with Aishwarya, Avinash, Sameer, Shanti Krishna and Lohit,” says Dinesh who is also the film's screenwriter, dialogues and cinematographer. Having directed two films in Telugu, Papa Kosam (1990) and Bhale Mogudu Bhale Pellam (2011), the director is excited to release ‘Dear Krishna’ in Telugu.
