The official trailer of the much-delayed film Patang was unveiled on Monday morning. After going through several hassles on both production and post-production stages, Patang will finally arrive in theatres on December 25.
So far, the teasers released by the makers primarily focused on the unique kite-flying backdrop for the narrative. The new trailer, however, establishes the complex dynamics between the three leads of the film — played by Preethi Pagadala, Pranav Kaushik, and Vamsi Pujit.
Vamsi Pujit and Pranav Kaushik play two close friends who have come a long way, and have stayed together since childhood. Vamsi plays Narayana, a small-time food vendor who is clearly in love with Aishwarya (Preethi). Aishwarya, on the other hand loves Chaitanya who reciprocates the affection. And yet, the two lovers struggle to keep Narayana out of their equation. It eventually takes a massive sports competition, much like mythological stories as Aishwarya points out, to decide a suitable boy. The sport in question – kite-flying.
Praneeth Prathipatti is the writer-director for the film. By the looks of its trailer, Patang looks extremely well made and fresh in terms of its aesthetics and visual design. Key technicians include cinematographer Shakthi Arvind, editor Chanakya Reddy Toorupu, stylist Meghana Sheshavapuri and production designer Venkat Saathavahana. The supporting cast includes SP Charan, SS Kanchi, and Gautham Vasudev Menon among others.
Jose Jimmy has composed the youthful, upbeat soundtrack for the film, and lyrics are by Shreemani.
Produced by Vijay Sekhar Anne, Sampath Maka, and Suresh Reddy Kothinti, Patang will have stiff competition at the box office from films like Shambhala and Champion. Suresh Babu is onboard as the presenter.
