Ram Pothineni is headlining the upcoming slice-of-age drama Andhra King Taluka, for which Vivek-Mervin are composing the music. The first single of the film was released on Friday.
Sung by Anirudh, ‘Nuvvunte Chaley’ is a dreamy romantic number that starts on a gentle note but gradually acquires an intense and rousing quality. The use of piano and saxophone, merging with a groovy arrangement style further elevates the composition. Ram Pothineni himself has served as the lyricist for the romantic number.
The song video features Ram Pothineni and female lead Bhagyashri Borse coming closer to each other over many village fair visits, shopping sprees and shared soft drinks. Andhra King Taluka marks the Telugu debut for Vivek-Mervin, who have previously composed music for films like Pattas, Sulthan, and Hitler.
From the promotional material, the film promises to be a novel slice-of-life drama about a fan, capturing his adventures with humour and pathos. Also promising to show Ram Pothineni in a different avatar compared to his previous few releases, the film is directed by Mahesh Babu P, marking his sophomore directorial after Mrs Shetty Mr Polishetty.
The title glimpse of the film was unveiled two months ago. The film is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar under Mythri Movie Makers banner.
Kannada superstar Upendra plays the titular ‘Andhra King’ in a special appearance. The ensemble cast includes Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma, Satya, Rahul Ramakrishna, and VTV Ganesh. In the technical crew, Siddhartha Nuni helms cinematography, and National award winner Sreekar Prasad is in charge of editing. Production design is by Avinash Kolla.
Earlier this month, the makers of the film entered the last leg of their shooting stage in Hyderabad, which they expect to finish in a few days.
