The makers of Telusu Kada, the upcoming romantic drama starring Siddu Jonnalagadda, announced that the first single titled ‘Mallika Gandha’ will be out on July 28. The film is set to hit theatres on October 17, in Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada, coinciding with the Diwali weekend.

Directed by debutant Neeraja Kona, Telusu Kada features Siddu alongside Raashi Khanna and Srinidhi Shetty. The rom-com is set to be about a protagonist caught in a love triangle between two women. The first single is going to be focused on Siddu and Raashi Khanna’s love thread. With music by S Thaman, Krishna Kanth has penned the lyrics while Sid Sriram gave vocals.

Produced by TG Vishwa Prasad and Krithi Prasad under the People Media Factory banner, Telusu Kada marks Neeraja Kona’s transition from costume designer to filmmaker. The film also features Viva Harsha in a supporting role.

On the technical front, Thaman S is composing the music, while cinematography is being handled by Gnana Shekar. With the shoot currently in progress, the makers are expected to continue unveiling promotional material in the coming months leading up to the release.
