He saw her in a saree… and lost his mind.
Plot of Saaree
The psychological thriller Saaree dives deep into the unsettling transformation of love into obsession. The story kicks off during a holiday trip, where a man while spending time with his group of friends, spots a woman draped in a strikingly elegant saree. Captivated at first glance, what starts as infatuation quickly spirals into an unhealthy fixation.
Swooned by her appearance and drawn to the idea of possessing her, he attempts to approach the woman and faces a harsh rejection. But instead of backing off, the man's obsession intensifies. Blinded by desire and consumed by ego, his behaviour grows more erratic and dangerous.
As the narrative progresses, his disturbing obsession takes a darker turn, unravelling his psychopathic tendencies. His actions begin to threaten not just the woman's safety, but also the well-being of her family and everyone connected to her. Saaree explores how unchecked desire can morph into something terrifying, blurring the lines between admiration and control.
Saaree stars Aaradhya Devi, Satya Yadu, Kalpa Latha, Sahil Sambyal, and Darbha Appaji Ambarisha in pivotal roles.
The film was written by Ram Gopal Varma, directed by Giri Krishna Komal, and produced by Ravi Shankar Varma.

Illegal betting app row: Hyderabad ED summons Rana Daggubati, Vijay Deverakonda, Prakash Raj; Telugu film industry in shock
The Hyderabad Enforcement Directorate (ED) has registered a case against Telugu film celebrities and issued summons to them for allegedly promoting illegal online betting apps on social media. According to TOI, actors Rana Daggubati , Vijay Deverakonda , Prakash Raj , and others are involved in this case. Celebrities accused of misleading youth In this recently filed case, celebrities and social media users with millions of followers are being duped by deceptive advertisements such as "You can earn money for free" and "You can win too", and celebrities are accused of inciting young people to participate in illegal betting apps. These apps have defrauded many young people and caused them to lose money. Summons issued for questioning As part of this operation, the Enforcement Directorate has now intensified the investigation. For this, summons have been issued to various celebrities for detailed questioning. Actor Rana Daggubati has been asked to appear at the ED office in Hyderabad on July 23, Prakash Raj on July 30, Vijay Deverakonda on August 6, and Lakshmi Manju on August 13. Case shakes Tollywood The case has created a stir in the Telugu film industry. As promoting betting apps through social media is considered a new type of crime, it will serve as a warning to many celebrities in the future. Furthermore, there is a growing possibility that the central government will formulate new guidelines to legally regulate betting apps. Meanwhile, it appears that the celebrities who were summoned for questioning are planning to present their response through lawyers. It is expected that many will argue that they were involved in these advertisements without their knowledge and are not guilty. While it is impossible to predict the outcome of this case at this time, it is an important case that will give the film industry a second thought on advertising regulation.
