Trailer Launched by Senior Journalists
Hyderabad:
“Vruksho Rakshati Rakshitah” — the elders have always said that those who protect trees are themselves protected. Carrying this timeless message to the hearts of the audience, ‘Kalivi Vanam’ brings forth the importance of forest conservation in an emotional and thought-provoking manner.
Set against the serene backdrop of Telangana’s rural landscapes and lush greenery, the film is written and directed by Raj Narendra and produced by Mallikarjun Reddy and Vishnuvardhan Reddy under the A.R. Productions banner. With the theme “Worship Nature, Love Nature, Protect Nature,” ‘Kalivi Vanam’ is all set for a grand theatrical release on November 21.
The film features Raghu Babu, Sammeta Gandhi, Vijayalakshmi, Bithiri Sathi, Balagam Satyanarayana, Mahendra Nath, Satish, Sri Charan, and Ashok in key roles, while Naga Durga makes her debut as the female lead.
To mark the completion of the film, senior journalists Ravichandra, Phani, Keshava Chary, Cine Josh Rambabu, Shiva Mallala, and Radha Krishna unveiled the trailer and release date poster in Hyderabad.
Actor Sammeta Gandhi said:
“This film beautifully showcases how vital trees and forests are to our lives. Director Raj Narendra and producers Mallikarjun Reddy and Vishnuvardhan Reddy worked tirelessly day and night, without compromise, shooting in forest areas around Jagtial. This isn’t a small film — it’s a big film with a powerful message. I believe the media will play a key role in taking ‘Kalivi Vanam’ to the people,” he said.
Music Director Madeen S.K. shared:
“Even audiences who come without expectations will definitely love this film 100%. I thank director Raj anna and the producers for giving me this opportunity to compose music for such a meaningful project,” he said.
Director Raj Narendra stated:
“In today’s times, it’s difficult to bring even one guest to support a small film. But our true strength is the media — they are our real supporters. That’s why we felt honored to have the trailer launched by media friends.
Our poster carries the line — ‘Cinema is not only entertainment but also enlightenment.’ This is a family film that every parent should watch with their children. It helps children understand the bond between humans and nature. Instead of saying ‘God makes it rain,’ we should tell kids that ‘a drop of rain falls when you plant a tree.’
The movie aims to plant the seeds of environmental awareness and love for nature in the minds of children — lessons that will stay with them forever,” the director explained.
