Director Vijay Kanakamedala spills the beans on ‘Bhairavam'
Director Vijay Kanakamedala's much-anticipated action thriller Bhairavam is all set to hit the big screens on May 30. Starring Bellamkonda Sai Srinivas, Nara Rohit, and Manoj Manchu, the film has already garnered significant buzz through its gripping promos. Produced by K.K. Radhamohan under the Sri Sathya Sai Arts banner and presented by Dr. Jayantilal Gada of Pen Studios, the film features Aditi Shankar, Anandi, and Divya Pillai as the female leads.
At a recent press meet, Vijay revealed that Bhairavam is a remake of the Tamil film Garudan, which he felt had powerful commercial appeal and emotional depth. 'We retained the core emotion but tweaked the presentation to match the Telugu audience's tastes. It will feel fresher than the original,' he stated.
The film marks a unique collaboration of three leading men. 'Sai was finalized first, and then both Manoj and Rohit gave the nod. Despite the star power, they were very cooperative and friendly on set,' Vijay added. He also noted the challenge of handling massive sets with over 900 people, especially during an intense 14-day night shoot.
Aditi Shankar's performance is another highlight. 'She shares fantastic chemistry with Sai Srinivas and adds vibrant energy to the story,' Vijay said. Music by Sri Charan Pakala has already struck a chord with audiences, with another upbeat track set to release on May 21.
Bhairavam blends friendship, family drama, action, and a devotional touch, promising a complete summer entertainer.

Rana Naidu 2 actor Rana Daggubati on online negativity against cinema: Art has to disturb those who are comfortable
Actor Rana Daggubati, who recently returned with season 2 of the web show Rana Naidu, continues to balance his presence between the big screen and the OTT space. No stranger to long-form storytelling - having made his streaming debut in 2023 - Rana says he has developed a measured understanding of cynicism often disguised as opinion - and how to rise above it. 'Art has to disturb the guys who are comfortable and create some kind of satisfaction to those who are disturbed and I believe in that,' says Rana, as he goes on to talk about online trolling. Rana Daggubati takes on trolls and shares with negativity. Sharing how he remains unfazed by online negativity, the 40-year-old says, 'Commenting is everybody's job and social media is a real thing. Everyone feels the need to say something and that necessarily doesn't have to be right or wrong - it's just someone's opinion.' Also Read| Exclusive| Rana Naidu 2 actor Rana Daggubati: Globally, theatres are on a decline Rana, who has worked across the Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi film industries, is well-versed in the different cultural expectations and the varied emotional responses of audiences when a film falls short of those expectations. 'When you take the size of a country like ours, the cultural understanding of people is very different,' Rana says. Recalling his experiences promoting films across India, he adds, 'We travel so many kilometers with a sense of what they (audience) understand, and it can be very different from how we choose to live our own lives.' He acknowledges that in a country as vast and diverse as India, different opinions are inevitable and one should take it in their stride. 'It just gives us a sense of understanding of those people because our jobs will not change. I have been doing this for 15 years and I will continue to do it,' he says before signing off, 'As creators, it's our job to say, 'Here's a story, let's see how many people it reaches.' That's what we need to focus on.'
