Venkata Krishna Karnati and Seetha Karnati are producing the film under their Skanda Vahana Motion Pictures LLP banner. The film is hitting the screens on October 9, and the teaser was unveiled on Saturday.
Sree Vishnu is playing a theatre owner and a fan of actor R Narayanamurthy, who made several revolutionary films. The story is set in villages along the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha border in 1992. His life is going smoothly until a girl from Odisha enters his life. After falling in love with her, his circumstances change, and he eventually turns towards Naxalism. From there, the story takes another turn.
Though the Naxal backdrop is a serious subject, director Janakiram has shown through the teaser that the film is packed with entertainment. While there are a few scenes related to Naxalism, most of the teaser suggests that the film is going to be a hilarious one. Brahmaji, Srikanth Iyengar, Vennela Kishore, Satya and Sudharshan provide plenty of laughs.

Talking about the title, Sree Vishnu said that ‘Comrade’ means friend and ‘Kalyan’ means good. “Comrade Kalyan is always wishing good things for others, hence the name Comrade Kalyan. The film is going to be a hilarious one, and I am confident that everyone will like it,” said Sree Vishnu at the teaser launch event.
Bhanu Bhogavarapu and Nandu Savarigana, who have previously worked on films featuring Sree Vishnu and others, have penned the story and screenplay. Sree Vishnu praised the two writers for their work and also thanked Kona Venkat for bringing the story to him.
