Hyderabad, July 25 (IANS) The makers of director Venkatesh Nimmalapudi’s upcoming romantic drama, ‘Sundarakanda’, featuring actor Nara Rohith in the lead, will hit screens on August 27 this year, its makers announced on Friday.

The makers chose to announce the film’s release date as part of the birthday celebrations of actor Nara Rohith.

Sundarakanda, which is Nara Rohith’s 20th film, is being produced by Santhosh Chinnapolla, Gowtham Reddy, and Rakesh Mahankalli under the banner of Sandeep Picture Palace (SPP).

The film’s teaser, which was released some time ago, gave audiences a peek into Rohith’s character — a middle-aged bachelor navigating life with wit and charm. With its light-hearted tone and slice-of-life moments, sources say Sundarakanda will provide a refreshing experience to audiences.

Sundarakanda will hit the theatres on August 27 on Ganesh Chaturthi. The movie will have a long weekend advantage, being a Wednesday release.

The release date poster shows Nara Rohith and his two love stories across different phases of life. It features Nara Rohith in contrasting timelines, one alongside Sridevi Vijaykumar, capturing the innocence of first love, and the other with Vriti Vaghani, hinting at a more mature, possibly second chance at romance.

Leon James has composed the music for this film, and the first single ‘Bahusa Bahusa’, crooned by Sid Sriram, has turned out to be a chartbuster. The movie has cinematography by Pradeep M Varma, while Rohan Chillale is the Editor and Rajesh Pentakota is the art director. Sundeep is the executive producer of the movie.

Apart from Nara Rohith, Vriti Vaghani and Sri Devi Vijay Kumar, the film will also feature actors Naresh Vijaya Krishna, Vasuki Anand, comedian Satya, Ajay, VTV Ganesh, Abhinav Gomatam, Viswant, Rupa Lakshmi, Sunaina and Raghu Babu.

Lyrics for the songs have been penned by Sri Harsha Emani while stunts in the film have been choreographed by Pruthvi Master. Dances have been choreographed by Vishwa Raghu.
