Director Srikanth Addala, known for his family-oriented films, surprises audiences with his latest project, Peddha Kapu-1, a political thriller in collaboration with Miryala Ravinder Reddy of Dwaraka Creations. Debutant Virat Karrna takes the lead in this new-age drama.
The teaser of the film has made its debut online. The teaser begins with the popular political speech of legendary actor Sr NTR about Andhrula Athma Gouravam (self-respect). The film revolves around a common man challenging two dominant forces in a village, portraying themes of oppression and confrontation.
Srikanth Addala shows his brilliance in the story-telling. The character arc of the protagonist is presented brilliantly from a common man to his battle against two powerful forces. Virat Karrna didn’t look like a debutant. There is intensity in his performance which is required for the portrayal of the character.
The dialogues are thought-provoking. While Rao Ramesh and Aadukalam Naren are remarkable as the leaders of the village, Tanikella Bharani and Naga Babu make their presence felt. The appearance of Srikanth Addala towards the end of the teaser was another surprise. Chota K Naidu’s camera blocks are excellent, wherein Mickey J Meyer adds up the intensity with his pulsating BGM.
The film is presented by Miryala Sathyanarayana Reddy, edited by Marthand K Venkatesh, with action direction by Peter Heins and choreography by Raju Sundaram. The makers have announced that the film is set to release on August 18, 2023. Alongside Virat Karrna, the movie also features Pragathi Srivasthava, Brigada Saga, Rajeev Kanakala, Anusuya, Eeshwari Rao, Naren, and other notable actors in significant roles.
