Nara Rohith: ‘Sundarakanda’ is a lively fun film

Nara Rohith is gearing up for release of his 20th film, Sundarakanda, directed by debutant Venkatesh Nimmalapudi. The film is set for release on August 27. Speaking at a press conference, Rohith shared insights about this film.

“Actually, my comeback should have been with Sundarakanda. We began script work in 2022. When Venkatesh Nimmalapudi narrated the idea, I was initially doubtful about how audiences would receive it. But after watching Malayalam film Bro Daddy, I felt this concept could work if handled in a similar vein. Venkatesh came with 30 well-written scenes that I loved, and that’s how the project took off. This film will keep audiences smiling throughout. It’s lively, fun, and lighthearted,” said Rohith.

Calling the film a “clean entertainer,” Rohith added, “This is a fresh story for today’s generation. My character has certain limitations, and the fun arises from those complications. It’s about a man still searching for his ideal partner after 30, and I thoroughly enjoyed playing it. The arc is complex yet entertaining, and I had clarity about it from the very beginning.”

The actor also praised his director: “Venkatesh has translated his vision onto the screen wonderfully. He wrote a unique story and treated it with great sensitivity. He’s a very sensible filmmaker.”

Interestingly, Nara Rohith’s fiancée Siri Lella will be making a cameo appearance in the film. “Her role is short but interesting. I consider her my lucky charm,” he revealed.
