Young actors Harshith Reddy and Smeha Manimegalai are set to captivate audiences in Deewana, an upcoming romantic drama packed with love, pain, and intense emotion. Written and directed by debutant Srikanth Sangishetty, the film promises to be a deeply moving cinematic experience.
The trailer, released today, immediately sets the tone with a poignant opening dedication: “Dedicated to all one-sided lovers.” The glimpse offers a look at the male lead’s intense devotion, highlighted by a shot of him getting a tattoo of his lover’s name, ‘Ammu’.
His obsession runs deep. He fiercely defends her honor, even going so far as to slap his own friends or anyone else who speaks ill of her or behaves inappropriately around her.
Despite his overwhelming affection, Ammu does not reciprocate his feelings. Undeterred by her rejection, he continues to protect her and care for her every need, even distancing himself from his parents in a desperate attempt to win her love. Whether his unwavering devotion will eventually convince Ammu to accept a love unlike any other remains the central question, one that will be answered when the film hits theaters on June 19.
Harshith Reddy undergoes a striking transformation here, moving away from his usual breezy roles to portray an intense and rugged lover boy. Meanwhile, Smeha looks vibrant and charming in a performance that audiences will be eager to watch on the big screen.
The well-cut trailer effectively conveys the emotional depth the makers intended. Distributed by Geetha Arts, the film is produced by Arha Media, Vasudev Koppineni, and Sridevi Karyampudi. It also features supporting performances by Jhansi and Naresh, with a soulful score composed by Eshwar Chand.
