This summer, two films with many similarities are being released. Vimanam (Aeroplane) and Prema Vimanam (Love Aeroplane) are aspirational stories revolving around children.
Prema Vimanam’s story is set in the 1990s and it was a dream then to travel in a plane. “My father’s salary was meagre and flying was just impossible.” Santosh recalled.
Santosh Kata asserts that the story of Prema Vimanam is different from that of Vimanam, though the two movies have a common factor — boarding an aeroplane.
Pawan Kalyan-starrer Kushi (Happiness, 2001) inspired Santosh Kata to pursue a career in the film industry. He struggled for around 12 years to become a director.
