Director Osho Tulasiram, who set a trend in Telugu cinema with women-centric movies like Mantra and Mangala, is back with his latest film, Dakshina. Produced by Ashok Shinde under the banner of Cult Concepts, the film stars Sai Dhansika, known for Kabali, in the lead role, with Rishav Basu from Mahabharat Murders in a pivotal role. The pre-release event of Dakshina was held grandly in Hyderabad, with actor Shivaji and music composer R.P. Patnaik gracing the occasion as chief guests, alongside the film’s team.
During the event, actor Shivaji shared his thoughts: “Osho Tulasiram made waves with the film Mantra, which grossed over 10 crores. It’s a blessing to work with such a talented director. Given a good producer, Osho can create cinematic wonders. I’m confident that Dakshina will be a huge success, and I hope Osho will continue making great films after this.”

Music director Balaji, writer Veligonda Srinivas, and the entire team have done excellent work on this film.

I’m grateful to everyone supporting the film, and a special thanks to Shivaji and R.P. Patnaik. Dakshina has all the ingredients of a super thriller.”
