Santosh Soban is playing the lead in the film Couple Friendly, with Manasa Varanasi as the female lead. The film is being grandly produced in Telugu and Tamil by UV Concepts and presented by the reputed production house UV Creations. Ajay Kumar Raju P. is the co-producer. The film is directed by Ashwin Chandrasekhar. Made as a musical romantic love story, Couple Friendly is set to release in Telugu and Tamil on February 14, on the occasion of Valentine’s Day. Passionate producer and distributor Dheeraj Mogilineni is releasing the film in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The pre-release press meet of the film was held today in Hyderabad.
Producer and distributor Dheeraj Mogilineni said, “The censor board asked us to change the title Couple Friendly. However, the film was made with this title, and all promotions were also done with the same name. With only a few days left for release, we felt it was not right to change the title now, so we decided to continue with it. As a result, the film received an A certificate. In Tamil, the same title received a UA certificate from the censor board. There are some rumours that the film contains adult content, and I want to clarify that. Couple Friendly is a pure love story. You can even call it a family entertainer. The hero and heroine come from good family backgrounds, and their family members play important roles in the film. Audiences of all sections can watch this film comfortably. I strongly believe this film will give Santosh Soban a big success and help him join the league of star heroes. Every youngster will connect with his performance, and we will feel his emotions as our own. Manasa Varanasi has given life to her character and never once stepped out of it. She is a Telugu girl, and I hope she gets many more opportunities. I also wish UV Creations continued success with this film and their upcoming projects. We are planning premieres on Thursday in Chennai, Hyderabad, Tirupati, Nellore, Vizag, and Vijayawada. Though the film releases on the 14th, shows will begin in all theatres from the evening of the 13th.”
Heroine Manasa Varanasi said, “After the trailer of Couple Friendly was released, we received very positive feedback. I got many calls and messages saying the trailer was good. Our director wrote the script in Tamil, and we adapted the dialogues into Telugu, practicing carefully to ensure the rhythm and timing remained intact. Everyone works hard in every film to make a name for themselves, but with this film, I truly understood what teamwork means. Every member of the team worked with the intention that everyone should get recognition and that the audience should like the film. You will clearly see the effort Santosh Shoban put into this movie. After Dheeraj garu joined our team, we felt a lot of added energy. I request everyone to definitely watch our film in theatres.”
Hero Santosh Soban said, “Everyone is supporting Couple Friendly wholeheartedly. The promotional tour we recently did received a very good response. Many people want me to succeed, and seeing all this makes me very happy. After Dheeraj garu came on board, we felt a new strength in our team. Just like me, our producer Ajay anna and director Ashwin, Dheeraj garu is equally invested in this film. When the title was first suggested, even I had my doubts. The reason for choosing this title will be understood when you watch the movie. It is a very apt title for this story. We have deliberately not revealed the soul of the story, and you must watch it in the theatre to know what it is. This film is the journey of Mitra and Shiva. How Shiva’s life changes after meeting Mitra, and how far Shiva goes for Mitra, will be shown in an engaging and interesting way. What we truly want to convey through this film can only be experienced in the theatre. Even before we asked him, Prabhas anna shared our trailer on Instagram. That felt like pure love towards us. We couldn’t have asked for anything more.”
