Producers Dil Raju and Shirish of Sri Venkateswara Creations are backing a new project featuring young actor Ashish, who made his debut with Rowdy Boys. The film is being directed by newcomer Aditya Rao Gangasani, who is said to be presenting a story deeply rooted in Hyderabad’s culture. The makers had earlier revealed the first look on Ashish’s birthday.
The team is now set to release the film’s first glimpse on March 24. The glimpse poster hints at an intense and fiery tone, dominated by dark shades of black and red. It showcases the protagonist performing a fire-breathing act, with his face deliberately kept hidden as he is shown from behind.
Titled De Thadi, the film is expected to offer a mix of high-energy emotions and unique, community-based themes that are rarely explored in mainstream Indian cinema. Ashish is undergoing a complete mass makeover for the role and will be seen speaking in authentic Hyderabadi slang.
Music is being composed by Junaid Kumar, while Prasanna Kumar Bezawada is handling the screenplay and dialogues, along with serving as the creative head. The film is currently in the shooting stage.
