The villainous ones are also trying to reach the Manasa Sarovar for some reason. Tinu Anand plays the role of Mantrika. In this journey a lot of adventures and action sequences take place in the back drop of a forest. “5 talala pamulu garutmanthudu toka chookkalu pala puntalu bangaru jinkalu swapna lokalu etc".

Synopsis

The producer Shyamprasad Reddy had named all his films with the letter “A” after his film “Talambralu” like Ahuti, Ankusam, Aagraham, Ammoru. His sensational films like Ankusam and Ammoru had undergone many changes and had taken a long time to complete. Chiranjeevi describes the film Anji as a ‘Trailblazer’ in Indian cinema since it will be the first film with 3D animated characters.

Normally for any film Chiranjeevi will have 70-80 call sheets, but for this film the actor himself doesn’t know how many call sheets he must have worked. Since 5 years the actor has been working in different schedules for this film. Some time back when an actor from bollywood Jeetendra saw the way Chiranjeevi has been working for this film he said “A big actor working for a film for so many days will be a record in the film industry and should be included in the Guinness book of World Records”. From the above statement we know how much devotion and dedication is shown by Chiranjeevi while working for Anji.

Highlights of Anji are it is the first Indian movie to have 3D Digital Graphics. First Movie that has done shooting in Annapoorna Studios for more No. of Days. First Movie that has more No. of Sets erected in Annapoorna Studios. First Movie for which Chiranjeevi participated in shooting for more No. of Days in Annapoorna Studios
