Telugu audiences have always shown immense love for films, regardless of language. While non-Telugu heroes often enjoy wide releases in Telugu states, Telugu actors frequently face challenges in getting the same reception in other regions. Kiran Abbavaram, gearing up for his upcoming Diwali release K-RAMP, recently spoke about this issue in an interview.
Kiran’s previous Diwali release, KA, was a content-driven film that performed well at the box office. However, it was not released in Tamil Nadu, even in a dubbed version. “We tried our best to get screens for the Tamil version. The harsh reality is we were told we wouldn’t get screens in Tamil Nadu. Even the original Telugu version didn’t get proper screens until the first week was over. After that, we only got 10 screens, despite audience demand,” Kiran explained.
Asked why this happens, Kiran admitted he doesn’t fully understand. “Some say it’s logistics, some say it’s stardom. But I don’t get it. When young actors from other industries make good films, Telugu audiences support them. Recently, the Malayalam-to-Telugu dub Lokah ran houseful in Hyderabad. But when young Telugu actors attempt something fresh, other states don’t give screens.”
On the possibility of a Tamil release for K-RAMP, Kiran said, “I haven’t figured that out yet and need to check with my producer. For KA, it didn’t happen. Even if I wanted to, I know we wouldn’t get theatres. Tamil actor Pradeep Ranganathan’s film Dude is releasing this Diwali in Telugu and getting huge screens. I can’t get the same love for a Telugu film in Tamil Nadu. We love Tamil stars and support their films. We hope for the same in return.”
Kiran also shared plans for his next project, Chennai Love Story. “This film is set entirely in Chennai. We hope to plan a proper release in Tamil Nadu and reach the audience there,” he said.
K-RAMP stars Kiran Abbavaram and Yukti Thareja, directed by Jains Nani. Music is composed by Chaitan Bharadwaj. Produced by Razesh Danda under Hasya Movies and Shiva Bommak under Ruudransh Celluloid, the film is scheduled for a worldwide Diwali release on October 18, 2025.
