Prominent political leader and businessman Gali Janardhan Reddy’s son, Kireeti Reddy, is making his debut as a hero with the youthful entertainer Junior, directed by Radha Krishna. Sreeleela stars as the female lead, while Genelia plays a pivotal role. The film is produced by Rajani Korrapati under the Vaaraahi Chalana Chitram banner. The movie’s songs have become chartbusters, and the teaser and trailer have received a tremendous response. Junior is set to release on July 18, with the makers hosting a grand pre-release event attended by the legendary director SS Rajamouli as the chief guest.
Speaking at the pre-release event, SS Rajamouli said: "Greetings to all. When Sai garu started this project, I assumed it would be a small film with a good story. However, with the addition of talents like Sreeleela, Genelia, Ravichandran garu, Devi Sri Prasad, Senthil, and Peter, it became clear that this is no ordinary film. The team has assembled a stellar cast and crew, as one would expect from a grand production. The fact that Junior is releasing on over 1,000 screens reflects the immense audience interest. The anticipation to watch this film on the first day is palpable, and I congratulate Sai garu for elevating the project to this level.
Genelia looks as vibrant now as she did years ago, and I’m confident Senthil will showcase a fresh side of her in this film. Devi Sri Prasad, as always, elevates the movie with his music. The song Viral Vayyari has already gone viral, and it’s the track that has sparked this excitement to watch the film on day one. Speaking of Senthil, it feels like praising someone from our own family. He is an exceptional technician who never compromises on quality and ensures the director doesn’t either. He is a major asset to this film.
Peter is a passionate visionary, always striving to push boundaries. He works tirelessly, and when both Peter and Senthil praise a newcomer like Kireeti, it’s the highest accolade one can receive in the film industry. Their commendation is a testament to Kireeti’s talent, and I’m certain this film will propel him to great heights. Sreeleela is a phenomenal dancer with the potential to reach even greater stardom.
Radha Krishna has dedicated three years to this project, pouring his heart into it. He has crafted a remarkable film, and I’m confident it will bring him well-deserved acclaim. Junior releases on July 18, and I urge everyone to watch it in theaters. It’s a paisa-vasool (value-for-money) movie. Thank you all!"
