Suresh Kondeti, who brought several films like “Premiste,” “Shopping Mall,” and “Journey” to Telugu audiences, also released the movie “Pizza” in Telugu.Thammareddy Bharadwaja, presented this film under the Charitha Chitra banner and brought it to Telugu audiences. Directed byKarthik Subbaraj, “Pizza” was a huge success in Tamil.Vijay Sethupathi and Remya Nambeesan played the lead roles in this film.At that time, nearly 40 producers competed for this film, but Suresh Kondeti secured the rights.Just like in Tamil, this film was also a huge success in the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh. Suresh Kondeti as the producer and Samanya Reddy as the co-producer brought this film to the audience. Released on October 19, twelve years ago, this movie became a super hit.After doing this movie, Vijay Sethupathi continued to act as a hero in films while also excelling in negative roles.In addition to Telugu and Tamil films, Vijay Sethupathi is now impressing audiences in Hindi films as well. There’s no need to elaborate on the fan following that Sethupathi has.
Suresh Kondeti revealed that he cannot forget the support Vijay Sethupathi provided during the promotions of the film, mentioning that they promoted it while traveling in his car. He also stated that the dubbing for this movie took place at Santosh Studios, with voices contributed by Mega Brother Nagababu, Shivaji, and Uttej.He says it feels like all of this happened just yesterday, and he can hardly believe that it has already been twelve years.In the early days of my journey as a producer, a wise person once told me, “A producer should never hesitate to present a good film that tells a good story to the audience.The film “Pizza” is the result of my desire to present a good story that resonates with my heart to Telugu audiences.The film “Pizza” paved the way for “Pizza 2” and “Pizza 3” to be released in Telugu.
On the occasion of the twelfth anniversary of “Pizza,” I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the actors, the supportive audience, and the technical experts who worked on the film.I would also like to extend my heartfelt regards to Thammareddy Bharadwaja, who served as a presenter for this film, and to Samanya Reddy, who acted as the co-producer.

Furthermore, we all know how outstanding a director Karthik Subbaraj is. I express my sincere respects to each of them by name.
