Adhira Shoot in Progress: Prasanth Varma, Kalyan Dasari, S. J. Suryah, and RKD Studios Join Forces
The era of Adhira has officially begun! Visionary filmmaker Prasanth Varma, who redefined Telugu cinema with his daring experiments like the zombie thriller Zombie Reddy and India’s first original superhero saga HanuMan, is now pushing the boundaries once more. His ambitious cinematic journey continues with Adhira, a grand superhero drama being developed under the banner of RKD Studios, led by Riwaz Ramesh Duggal.
A New Hero Emerges
The film marks the grand debut of Kalyan Dasari as a lead actor, stepping into the shoes of the superhero Adhira, while the versatile S. J. Suryah joins the cast in a powerful role. Directed by Sharan Koppisetty, this project is shaping up as one of the most ambitious ventures in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU), which aims to create India’s first interconnected superhero franchise.
Mythology Meets Modern Cinema
Adhira draws inspiration from Indian itihasas while blending in modern storytelling and visual spectacle. The story explores the clash between light and darkness, justice and chaos, as the hero rises to defend Dharma. Each installment in the PVCU carries its own unique premise but connects to a larger universe — and Adhira is set to be one of its most striking chapters.
The Poster Reveal
The recently unveiled poster teases a colossal showdown:
- In the backdrop, a volcano erupts violently, painting the skies with fire and ash.
- Emerging from the flames, S. J. Suryah appears menacing, with bull-like horns, fierce tribal attire, and a demonic aura.
- Facing him, Kalyan Dasari’s Adhira kneels in defiance, armored in futuristic battle gear, his eyes blazing with determination.
This striking imagery promises an epic confrontation between a fearsome demon and a rising superhero — a clash of destiny, power, and justice.
Technical Brilliance
The film reunites several talents from HanuMan:
- Shivendra takes charge of the cinematography, ensuring visually rich frames.
- Sri Charan Pakala brings his trademark intensity to the soundtrack.
- Sri Nagendra Tangala handles production design, creating larger-than-life sets.
More cast and crew details will be announced soon, further adding to the anticipation.
What to Expect
Adhira promises heart-stopping stunts, breathtaking visuals, and lightning-fast action sequences that will leave audiences on edge. With its blend of mythology, high-octane drama, and superhero spectacle, the film is shaping up as a cinematic “volcanic eruption” — raw, explosive, and emotional.
The journey of Adhira, a superhero who wields electrifying powers to protect justice, is all set to ignite theatres and spark a new wave in Indian cinema.
