When it comes to delivering fresh and engaging stories, Swapna Cinemas always takes the lead. Their upcoming venture, Champion, has already sparked curiosity with its intriguing promotional content. Produced in collaboration with Anandi Art Creations and Concept Films, and presented by Zee Studios, the film stars Roshan and Anaswara Rajan, with Nandamuri Kalyan Chakravarthy and Archana in pivotal roles.
Meanwhile, the film’s second single-Sallangundaale has been dropped. Ahead of her wedding the bride sits quietly, saddened by the thought of leaving her home and village. Her father comes to comfort her, and that’s where the song begins. As he blesses her to stay happy and peaceful, the entire family- and eventually the whole village- joins in, marking the start of the wedding celebrations.
The way each family member talks about the gifts they are offering for the wedding beautifully captures the true essence of a traditional ceremony. And the emotions that surface during the Appagintalu (the moment of giving the bride away) resonate deeply with everyone.
Speaking of melodies, Mickey J Mayer has been creating magic lately.Sallangundaale is yet another wonderful composition- filled with both emotion and celebration. This blend gives the song a refreshing charm. Chandrabose’s lyrics vividly portray every ritual and sentiment that unfolds in a wedding. Singers Ritesh G Rao and Manisha Eerabathini lend their voices so beautifully that the song becomes a delight to listen to. Brinda Gopal Master’s choreography fits the situation and mood perfectly.
Nandamuri Kalyan Chakravarthy and Archana shine as the bride’s parents, while the lead pair Roshan and Anashwara Rajan bring vibrant energy to the song with their lively dance.Sallangundaale is all set to become a staple at every wedding celebration, although the song and the movie is set in period backdrop.
Coming to the other technical crew, production designer Thota Tharani brings the pre-Independence period to life with careful detail, while cinematographer R Madhie enhances the story with rich, engaging visuals. The film is edited by Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao.
Champion is scheduled to hit theatres on December 25, just in time for Christmas.
