Gita Krishna is directing and producing ‘Koffi Bar’ on the banner of Blue Cinema with Sashank as hero. The film is all set for release through Lakshmi Ganapati Films on March 11.

Speaking on the occasion, the director cum producer says, ‘The film is being released simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil and Kannada languages. We got the film censored in Karnataka as per the Kannada film industry rules. Later, we submitted the Telugu version to Censor Board in AP. We are releasing the Tamil version in 110 screens, and in Kannada in 35 theatres through Blue Fox. The film was made with mind game in the backdrop and the film is of suspense thriller genre. We concentrated on the value of money and the problems arise from the money besides anti-terrorism element. In Tamil there is a rule that there should not be English titles so we titled the Tamil version as ‘Namidangal’. Likewise in Kannada we gave the title as ‘Coffee Shop’. Our film has good depth and hence we are confident that the film would be liked by all classes of audiences.’

Sashank says, ‘I played the hero in all the three languages. We worked very hard for the film and Gitakrishna extracted the right performance from me. I learnt a lot about acting and it is a good experience for me. The film would also be a musical hit.’
