After setting a release date for their film, the makers of Dhandoraa have now resumed the promotional activities. At a grand ceremony on Monday, the official teaser of the film was unveiled.

Produced by Ravindra Banerjee Muppaneni, Dhandoraa promises to be an energetic satire on the social customs that drive rural life. The teaser introduces all its primary characters — including a young, bumbling couple, a sex worker, a powerful village figure, a cynical Sarpanch and many more — in brief but impactful vignettes. After its light-hearted opening though, the teaser ends on a grim note, with Sivaji’s character warning a character, and indirectly the audience, about how when it comes to the workings of a village as a society, there’s lot more than what meets the eye. 

The concept of death, dignity and social rituals seem to to be at the heart of this social satire.  Ravindra Banerjee Muppaneni is producing the film under Loukya Entertainments. Actors like Navdeep, Nandu, Sivaji, Manika Chikkala, Mounika Reddy, Bindu Madhavi, Radhya and Aditi Bhavaraju play prominent roles. Muralikanth helms the direction.

In the technical team, Venkat R Sakhamuri is the cinematography. Srujana Adusumilli is the editor. Mark K Robin is the music director. Kranthi Priyam is the art director, and Rekha Boggarapu is the costume designer. 

Being released overseas by Atharvana Bhadrakali Pictures, Dhandoraa will have a theatrical release on December 25, clashing against Shambhala and Champion
