Young hero Havish is teaming up with hitmaker Thrinadha Rao Nakkina for the upcoming commercial entertainer Nenu Ready, and the makers have recently unveiled a special Christmas poster, raising excitement among fans. Produced by Nikhila Koneru under Harniks India LLP, the film stars Kavya Thapar as the female lead.
The newly released poster showcases Havish in a refreshing yet intense avatar. Sporting neatly styled hair, a well-groomed beard, and black-rimmed glasses, he appears as a grounded, everyday professional. His checked shirt, dark trousers, office ID card, and crossbody bag add a realistic touch, while his body language hints at a character ready for action. The look subtly teases both the humor and intensity that the film promises.
Director Thrinadha Rao Nakkina, known for delivering crowd-pleasing entertainers, presents Havish in a humor-driven role with multiple shades, blending comedy with commercial elements. The film is progressing rapidly, with a major schedule already completed in Hyderabad and a recent song shoot wrapped in Pondicherry. Post-production is underway simultaneously.
The earlier title glimpse of Nenu Ready received an encouraging response, boosting expectations further. Strengthening the project is a solid supporting cast, including Brahmanandam, Srilakshmi, Vennela Kishore, Murali Sharma, and VTV Ganesh. Music is composed by Mickey J Meyer, cinematography by Nizar Shafi, editing by Praveen Pudi, and the story and screenplay are penned by Vikranth Srinivas.
With its mix of comedy, commercial elements, and a strong ensemble cast, Nenu Ready is shaping up to be a fun-filled entertainer for audiences.
Ram Gopal Varma Hails ‘Dhurandhar’ as a Gamechanger in Indian Cinema
Filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has described the blockbuster “Dhurandhar” as a gamechanger that the Indian film industry cannot ignore. According to him, the film challenges the traditional “VFX-heavy, expensive sets, item song-filled, star-centric” formula and sets a new benchmark for filmmakers.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), RGV wrote:
“Whenever a path-breaking and massive hit like #Dhurandhar comes along, industry insiders tend to ignore it because they feel threatened by their inability to match its standards. They think of it as a nightmare, which disappears only when they return to their own films.”
He added that this is particularly true for the so-called Pan-India biggies currently in production. Many of these projects were conceptualized based on older templates, which are the exact opposite of what Dhurandhar has achieved. RGV emphasized that the film has become one of the most-discussed films in the last 50 years, making it impossible to overlook.
Comparing the film to a “large, scary dog,” RGV said:
“Even if you try to ignore it, you can’t help noticing it. Every production office working on upcoming big films will feel its presence. They may avoid mentioning its name, but it keeps lingering in their minds.”
Unlike formulaic, star-driven masala films, Dhurandhar has earned acclaim for its storytelling and craftsmanship, rather than just its star power. RGV described it as a “horror film” for filmmakers still clinging to the old hero-worship template:
“With the film being celebrated instead of the star, makers stuck in masala traditions will feel crucified in their own creations. No matter how much they wish it away, the impact of #Dhurandhar will be felt whenever their next film releases.”
Varma concludes that Aditya Dhar Films has held up a mirror to the industry, compelling filmmakers to rethink their approach and measure their work against the high cinematic standards set by Dhurandhar.
