The Brahmanandam-Sreenu Vatila combination became a huge brand with the hilarious success of the comedy scenes in films like Ready and Dhee. Since then, all Sreenu Vaitla films featured Brahmi in a special role to enthrall audiences with special antics and rib-tickling humour. However, the duo’s comedy in Aagadu couldn’t manage to set the screens on fire.

Now, the combo is back with Bruce Lee as Sreenu Vaitla designed a special character for Brahmi called Suzuki Subramanyam alias Peter and alias Pakodi. Those who watched Brahmi in the trailer could already expect the upcoming humor festival once the film releases on 16th October.
