Some films are like comfort food, evoking nostalgia and joy, while others are bold experiments that test the palate. Allari Naresh’s upcoming movie, Bachhala Malli, seems poised to blend the two flavors mixing his signature comic charm with a more serious, story-driven undertone.

Helmed by Solo Brathuke So Better fame Subbu Mangadevi, Bachhala Malli promises to explore the depths of human emotions while keeping the audience hooked.

Known as the king of comedy for much of his career, Allari Naresh redefined himself with Naandhi, proving he could excel in intense, dramatic roles.
