Anushka prays to Goddess Kanaka Durga

 Actress Anushka, whose films  Vedam and Panchakshari are going to release in a few days, created a flutter with her presence atop the Indrakeeladri hillock, abode of Goddess Sri Kanaka Durga, at Vijayawada on Tuesday.

Over 5000 film buffs and fans of Anushka thronged the hillock, the entry and exit points from the temple to have a glance at the ravishing actress, and get her autograph.

Accompanied by the unit members of Panchakshari, Anushka arrived at the venue two hours behind the schedule at 12.00 noon, despite which the surge of people stayed under the scorching sun. The police had a tough time in controlling the crowds.

Director V. Samudra said that even before the launch of the film, he prayed at the temple keeping script at the feet of the Goddess. He said that the output had been tremendous with thrilling graphics.

Later, the temple authorities presented the temple prasadams and portrait of the Goddess to the heroine.
