The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Potugadu (transl. Hero) is a 2013 Indian Telugu language film written and directed by Pavan Wadeyar. It is a remake of his 2012 Kannada film Govindaya Namaha. It was produced by Sirisha and Sridhar under the Ramalakshmi Cine Creations banner. The film stars Manchu Manoj and four heroines: Sakshi Chaudhary, Simran Kaur Mundi, Rachel and Anupriya Goenka. Achu scored the music, and two tunes from the Kannada film - including the "Pyarge Aagbittaite" - were used in the Telugu version. The shooting was wrapped up in a single extensive schedule and the post-production work was simultaneously in progress. Reportedly Potugadu was going to be the biggest movie in terms of budget in Manoj's career. The film released on 14 September 2013 and was commercially successful at the box office.
