Popular YouTuber Shanmukh Jaswanth, who made his film debut as a lead last year with Leela Vinodham, has signed his next film titled Premaku Namaskaram. The film was officially launched two weeks ago. On Friday, the makers released a new teaser, introducing Sivaji’s character in the film.

The teaser contains no dialogues, and chooses to build up purely on the elevation shots of Sivaji as he slowly enters the frame against a stylistically lit backdrop, smoking a cigarette with great swagger. The teaser then establishes Shanmukh, who stands besides him.

Sivaji will be seen playing a character named Mahadeva Naidu in the film. By the looks of it, it will be a character with grey shades, but not necessarily antagonistic. It is to be noted that Sivaji made a major comeback to cinema earlier this year with his appearance in Priyadarshi starrer Court - State vs a Nobody, where he played the main antagonist and won a lot of acclaim. His upcoming films include an untitled project directed by Sudheer Sriram, where he will reunite with his Missamma co-star Laya.

More details about the primary cast of the film are yet to be announced.

Premaku Namaskaram is written & Directed by V. Bhima Shankar, who had made his directorial debut in 2023 with the Aha original film Kranthi. 

Anil Kumar Ravada and Bharghav Manne serve as producers, bankrolling the film under AB Cinemas. RR Dhruvan, alongwith Gyaani, is the music composer for the film. Gyaani has also composed the background score. The cinematography and editing are by Kishore Boyidapu and KCB Hari, respectively.

A release date announcement from the makers is expected soon. 

Shanmukh, who began his career in 2012, shot to fame with his role in the YouTube web-series The Software DevLOVEper.
