Ravindra Benerjee Muppaneni of Loukya Entertainments, who produced the National Award-winning film Colour Photo and Bedurulanka 2012, is now presenting his latest film, Dhandoraa. The film features Shivaji, Navdeep, Nandu, Ravikrishna, Manika Chikkala, Mounika Reddy, Bindu Madhavi, Radhya, Aditi Bhavaraju, and others in key roles.
Directed by Murali Kanth, the movie is set for a grand release on December 25, 2025. Today, the team launched the teaser, giving a sneak peek into what the film attempts to convey. The teaser begins on a humorous note with a lover trying to kiss his girlfriend, who reacts playfully.
The next scenes introduce two key characters. Navdeep plays a sarpanch, appearing stylish with cooling glasses and a confident attitude. Shivaji is introduced next, delivering a bold dialogue: “Go to Hyderabad… go to America… go anywhere you want. But if you die, you must come back here.”
Navdeep’s sarcastic dialogue delivery adds a comic touch to the teaser set in a rural backdrop. Another character, played by Nandu, is shown scolding his wife (Mounika Reddy) and daughter. Bindu Madhavi appears as a sex worker, delivering a powerful line: “Who said I’m doing something wrong? They’re paying money… I’m giving them a service.”
The teaser then shifts into an emotional segment. A dead body is being carried away, and a child asks why they are taking his grandmother so far. Shivaji’s response hints that the film explores deeper themes about the struggles, situations, and emotions a person faces between birth and death.
Dhandoraa appears to tackle a socially relevant theme, highlighting how atrocities still occur when girls from dominant castes fall in love or marry outside their caste. Set in rural Tel0angana, the film weaves together age-old traditions, satire, humor, and strong emotions.
The teaser suggests that the director is aiming for a powerful narrative, raising expectations. The songs are being released via T-Series, while Atharvana Bhadrakali Pictures is managing the overseas distribution.
