The first single from Kothapallilo Okappudu, titled ‘Ranga Nayaki,’ was released on Monday, offering a taste of the film’s light-hearted rural setting. Composed by veteran music director Mani Sharma, the song blends a vintage folk sound with contemporary storytelling, staying true to the film’s slice-of-life tone.
Sung by Dhanunjay Seepana with lyrics by Chaitanya Prasad, ‘Ranga Nayaki’ is a breezy dance number where the protagonist tries to charm his love interest. The track evokes classic Telugu folk stylings aimed at grounding the film in its Andhra village backdrop.
Recently Kothapallilo Okappudu’s trailer was released. Billed as a light-hearted rural satire set in an Andhra village, the film marks the directorial debut of Praveena Paruchuri, who produced highly acclaimed content-driven films like C/o Kancharapalem and Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya. Rana Daggubati is presenting the slice of life tale.
The trailer revolves around Ramakrishna, played by debutant Manoj Chandra, who is a recording dance organiser whose life turns topsy-turvy after a weird incident. Kothapallilo Okappudu appears to explore the quirks and social dynamics of village life through a mix of satire and realism. The cast also features Monika T and Usha Bonela in debut roles, alongside supporting actors Ravindra Vijay, Benerjee, Bongu Satti, Phani, and Premsagar.
The film’s story and dialogues are penned by Gurukiran Bathula. It is produced under the Paruchuri Praveena Vijaya Arts banner. Cinematography is handled by LA-based director of photography Petros Antoniadis. Kothapallilo Okappudu is scheduled for theatrical release on July 18.
