Manoj Manchu's 12 faces in Mr Nookayya

Manoj Manchu begins this year with Mr Nookayya directed by Ani Kaneganti. It also stars Kriti Kharbanda and Sana Khan.

D S Rao has produced this film on a big budget. After much deliberation, Mr Nookayya (which was initially titled Mr Nokia) is finally releasing on Thursday, March 8 in 400 theatres.

While the director himself has penned the story and screenplay, the Parachuri brothers have written the dialogues.

The film is a love story with a tagline that goes, 'No caption, only action'.

Manoj has performed some daredevil stunts himself, and they are expected to be the highlight of the film. He also appears in 12 different get-ups. 

Kriti Kharbanda comes back after Teenmaar last year and Sana Khan after Gaganam. Others in the cast are Brahmanandam, Brahmaji, 'Vennela' Kishore and Ranadheer.

The film was shot in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam and Bangkok. Yuvan Shankar Raja is the music director and he has used some of his Tamil tunes for the songs in this film. Rajasekhar is the cinematographer and Gautham Raju edits the film.
