Ace director Suresh Krissna, known for his impactful films, has recently unveiled his spiritual feature film “Anantha”. During the shooting of this film, he experienced what he describes as one miracle after another.
About ‘Anantha’
“Anantha” is produced by Girish Krishnamurthy and stars notable actors Jagapathi Babu and Suhasini Maniratnam in lead roles.
Director’s Emotional Journey
At the music launch event held recently, Suresh Krissna expressed immense gratitude, stating, “Words cannot express my happiness today. My heartfelt thanks to Girish for making this project possible. I have directed several commercial films, but when I was told to make a film on Sai Baba and that it should also have commercial appeal — I saw it as a divine challenge.”
The director excitedly shared a miraculous experience from 2009.
“A friend who wanted to make a biopic on Baba took me to Puttaparthi. When I stood before Baba, he looked at me and said in Telugu, ‘Where have you been all these years?’ and I broke down. Two years later, Baba attained samadhi. Years passed, and one morning, Baba appeared in my dream. That same day, my friend informed me they had just been discussing making Baba’s film with me,” disclosed Suresh Krissna.
The Vision for the Film
Following this profound experience, producer Girish approached him with the vision of creating a film that would resonate with devotees globally, aiming to introduce even those unfamiliar with Baba to his teachings.
“I asked for three days to reflect. But the next day, at 3 AM, inspiration struck. In one hour, the entire story flowed through me — as though Baba himself was writing it. The film tells several real-life stories where Baba’s presence and miracles are felt. Deva sir composed a song for the film in just 10 minutes — truly divine grace! Every single day of shooting, we witnessed one miracle after another. I was blessed with a wonderful team who worked tirelessly with devotion. I sincerely believe ‘Anantha’ will touch every viewer’s heart,” he expressed, filled with hope.
Music and Cast
The music for “Anantha” is composed by Deva, and the grand audio and teaser launch occurred recently in the presence of the entire cast and crew.
In addition to Jagapathi Babu and Suhasini Mani Ratnam, the film features a talented ensemble, including Y Gee Mahendra, Thalaivasal Vijay, Nizhalgal Ravi, Sri Ranjani, and Abhirami Venkatachalam.
