The trailer of Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya starrer “Epic – First Semester” is out. Directed by debutant Aditya Haasan, the film is a youthful love story set against the backdrop of college life in London.
The trailer captures the fun, friendships and relationships that are part of college life. Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya play the lead pair, and their chemistry appears to be one of the film’s strengths.
The conversations are also refreshingly candid, with the characters openly discussing topics such as sex, periods and relationships. The trailer ends on a cheeky note, with Anand asking Vaishnavi whether she got her period, to which she replies, “Are periods an Amazon order to arrive whenever we want?”
What starts off as a fun college romance gradually takes an emotional turn. The trailer suggests that the film will explore the relationship beyond the usual romantic moments, while keeping the situations relatable for youngsters.
Aditya Haasan, who directed the successful web series 90s, makes his feature-film debut with Epic – First Semester. Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya previously paired up in the blockbuster Baby.
Produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, the film is presented by Srikara Studios. Hesham Abdul Wahab has composed the music. “Epic – First Semester” is slated for theatrical release on September 11, 2026.
