Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas, who was last seen in the super hit Kishkindhapuri, is gearing up for the occult thriller Haindava.
Directed by debutant Ludheer Byreddy and produced by Mahesh Chandu under the Moonshine Pictures banner, the film had its teaser unveiled today.
The teaser introduces a village gripped by fear and uncertainty after two disturbing incidents. Idols mysteriously disappear from an ancient temple, while a villager is found murdered.
As the circumstances surrounding these incidents remain unclear, the temple priest makes a startling prediction that the missing idols will return within a specified period.
The investigation is handed over to an atheist police officer, setting up an intriguing conflict between religious belief and rational thinking.
Director Ludheer Byreddy appears to have chosen a distinctive narrative that blends occult mystery, devotional elements and high-voltage action.
Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas commands attention as the police officer. His strong screen presence and action-oriented portrayal add considerable intensity to the character.
Samyuktha plays the female lead, while Mahesh Manjrekar essays the role of the temple priest. Saurabh Sachdeva and J. D. Chakravarthy are also seen in important roles.
Production designer Siva Kamesh D creates the film’s mystical setting, while cinematographer Harish Kannan captures the narrative through striking visuals. Sam C. S. heightens the suspense with an intense background score.
With its intriguing blend of mysticism, suspense and action, the teaser has heightened curiosity around the secrets surrounding the village.
The makers have also confirmed that Haindava will hit theatres on November 27.
