Patang brings together two debut production houses—Cinematic Elements and Rishaan Cinemas—along with Monsoon Tales, the banner that recently delivered a blockbuster with Raju Weds Rambai. Positioned as a youthful, celebratory entertainer, the film is designed to appeal to both families and young audiences, weaving together themes of friendship, love, and vibrant community spirit.
One of the film’s biggest highlights is a thrilling 30-minute kite competition climax, promising a visually spectacular and emotionally charged finale. With its quirky characters, fresh faces, and lively storytelling, Patang aims to stand out as an ambitious small film that dreams big within its creative limits.
Music for the film is composed by Jose Jimmy, while the visuals are brought to life by cinematographer Shakti Aravind. The cast features Pranav Kaushik, popular singer from Zee SaReGaMaPa and an award-winning short filmmaker; Vamsi Poojith, who makes his acting debut and is also known for his strong filmmaking background as well as being actor Saanve Meghana’s brother; and Preethi, a well-followed social media influencer who makes her acting debut with Patang and has already signed her second film.
The film is produced by Vijay Shekhar, Sampat Maka, Tarun Kumar, and Ramya Vemulapati, with Praneeth Prattipati serving as writer-director and Nani Bandireddy as creative producer. Nearly ten newcomers are introduced through the project, many of whom have already caught the attention of major production houses.
Set against the festive backdrop of Hyderabad, Patang celebrates friendship in all its colours while delivering humour, emotion, and strong visual flair. The makers promise a refreshing cinematic experience packed with laughter, heart, and vibrant characters—making Patang a must-watch on the big screen.
Deva Katta’s Bold Claim Raises Expectations for Rajamouli’s ‘Varanasi’
Ace director SS Rajamouli is set to return with another colossal cinematic venture titled Varanasi, featuring Mahesh Babu in the lead role. Touted as one of the most expensive projects in the history of Indian cinema, the film is currently in its production stage and is already generating massive buzz across the industry.
Adding fuel to the excitement, noted filmmaker and writer Deva Katta, who is associated with the film as one of its writers, recently made a striking remark about the scale and ambition of the project. He stated that if Magadheera, Eega, Baahubali, and RRR were all combined and taken to an even higher level, the result would be Varanasi. His powerful comparison has significantly heightened expectations among cinema lovers.
Deva Katta also expressed deep admiration for Rajamouli’s extraordinary storytelling abilities. Speaking candidly, he admitted that even if the Varanasi script were handed over to him, he might not be able to deliver it with the same impact. According to him, Rajamouli operates on an entirely different creative plane, seamlessly blending emotion, spectacle, and imaginative world-building like no other filmmaker.
The film boasts a stellar cast with Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran playing key roles alongside Mahesh Babu. Adding further strength to the project, Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani is composing the music. Varanasi was officially launched at a grand event in Hyderabad, and even the title announcement created a massive wave of excitement.
With its ambitious scale, powerful team, and sky-high expectations, Varanasi is shaping up to be one of the most awaited and talked-about films in Indian cinema.
