Nara Rohith's ‘Sundarakanda' locks Ganesh Chaturthi release
The teaser, released earlier, offered a delightful glimpse into Rohith's character — a witty, middle-aged bachelor navigating the ups and downs of love and life. The light-hearted tone, humorous moments, and emotional depth promise a refreshing cinematic experience.
The release date announcement was made today as a birthday treat to Nara Rohith's fans. The accompanying poster reveals two romantic phases of his character — one featuring Sridevi Vijaykumar, evoking the charm of first love, and the other with Vriti Vaghani, suggesting a mature, possibly second-chance romance. The dual timelines tease a layered narrative filled with emotion, nostalgia, and heartwarming moments.
Musically, the film is already a hit with its first single Bahusa Bahusa, sung soulfully by Sid Sriram, becoming a chartbuster. Leon James has composed the film's soundtrack, while Pradeep M Varma handles cinematography. Rohan Chillale is the editor, and Rajesh Pentakota serves as art director. Sundeep is on board as the executive producer.
With just over a month to go, the team is gearing up to ramp up promotional activities, ensuring Sundarakanda reaches audiences far and wide during the festive season.
