Bheema Gani Sudhakar Goud, acclaimed for meaningful children’s films such as Aditya, Vicky’s Dream, and Dr. Gautam, has once again brought a thought-provoking story to the forefront with his latest short film, Abhinav (Chased Padmavyuha). Produced under the Santosh Films banner and presented by the Srilakshmi Educational Charitable Trust, the film aims to instill strong moral values in young minds. The cast includes Sammata Gandhi, Satya Erra, Master Gagan, Geetha Govind, Abhinav, Charan, and Baby Akshara in pivotal roles.
At a press conference held at the Hyderabad Film Chamber, Sudhakar Goud shared his vision for the film. He emphasized the importance of nurturing patriotism in children from an early age. Drawing comparisons to international practices of teaching children about national defense, he underlined the need for similar efforts in India. He also expressed concern about the growing influence of drugs, even in rural areas, and highlighted the importance of guiding children through activities like NCC, Scouts, yoga, and meditation to keep them away from such vices.
“Abhinav (Chased Padmavyuha) inspires children to walk the path of righteousness and understand their role in national defense. We’ve submitted this film to various film festivals and are also sending it for consideration for the National Awards,” he stated.
