First Look: Attractive Pair Shaurya & Malavika In Avasarala’s ‘PAPA’!

Talented actor Avasarala Srinivas is a skillful director too. He made two films namely ‘Oohalu Gusagusalade’ and ‘Jyo Achyuthananda’ which were clean entertainers. Both of them were successful at the box office but Srinivas took a lot of time for this third directorial. He teamed up with his favourite hero Naga Shaurya once again and made ‘Phalana Abbayi Pahalana Ammayi’. The film brings back Naga Shaurya and Malavika Nair together after their hit-collaboration ‘Kalyana Vaibhogame’.

People Media Factory has backed two big commercial successes in 2022, namely ‘Dhamaka’ and ‘Karthikeya 2’. They are bankrolling this project along with ‘Dasari Productions’ banner. This is a feel-good romantic film which is written as well as directed by Avasarala. He is aiming to score a hattrick with Shaurya this time. The team released a very attractive first look poster.

Lead actors Naga Shaurya and Malvika Nair are seen listening to music while donning formal winterwear and leaning onto one another over a journey. The feel-good vibe is all over the poster. The aesthetic costumes, the cute on-screen pairing and the floral borders make the poster even more appealing. The eye-catchy poster instantly piques your curiosity.

A special announcement video was also released recently. We can see the lead actors get together on a call with Srinivas Avasarala, discussing the absence of any updates surrounding the film. When Shaurya even says, ‘Even RRR has released in theatres’, Srinivas Avasarala cheekily responds to him that RRR had three letters while Phalana Abbayi Phalana Ammayi has four (when read as PAPA) before confirming the launch date. Kalyani Malik, who scored the music for Naga Shaurya-Srinivas Avasarala’s earlier collaborations is the composer for this film too.

This movie is going to be a romantic entertainer spanning over a decade. It revolves around the highs and lows in the relationship of a couple. The film takes the viewers through their journey as they age from 18 year-olds to 28 year-olds. The romance element in the film is expected to be very realistic, mature and sensible and the director has claimed he would be presenting love in seven different hues, akin to a rainbow. Srinivas Avasarala’s conversational dialogues are a major USP of the film.

Apart from Shaurya, Malavika and Avasarala, the cast includes Megha Chowdhury, Ashok Kumar, Abhishek Maharshi, Sri Vidya, Varanasi Soumya Chalamcharla, Harini Rao, Arjun Prasad and others. Sunil Kumar Nama is the director of photography while Kiran Ganti is the editor. T G Vishwa Prasad and Padmaja Dasari are the producers. The release date is expected to be announced soon.
