The starry cast
Everyone working on the 'Rangasthalam' – right from Ram Charan, Samantha and Aadhi Pinisetty, to Jagapathi Babu, Anasuya and Prakash Raj – are said to have gotten into the skin of their characters to deliver their best. It is also refreshing to see the stars who usually play the urban heroes, play the roles of raw everyday men and women, devoid of all the chicness that usually surrounds them on-screen.
DSP's fun jukebox
While the teaser and trailer of 'Rangasthalam' were massive hits, the songs composed by Devi Sri Prasad and penned by Chandrabose have taken the film’s craze to a whole new level. The composer, looking for authenticity, brought in a lot of folk singers and musicians on-board for the film. Composing the songs in just a span of three and half days, everything from the titular ‘Ranga Ranga Rangasthalam’ and ‘Rangamma Mangamma’ to the special song ‘Jigel Rani’ with Pooja Hegde have been received with love.
Rathnavelu's DOP
Rathnavelu who has lent his expertise to films like 'Robo', 'Arya' and '1-Nenokkadine' has worked on 'Rangasthalam' too.
