Mahanati, the much-awaited biopic based on the life and legacy of yesteryear legendary heroine Savithri, is having its shoot in Hyderabad. Keerthy Suresh is reprising Savithri in the movie.

The latest update from the film’s makers reveals that noted Hollywood cameraman Dani Sanchez-Lopez is working on this prestigious project.
