The upcoming Telugu romance Deewana is creating a buzz following a high-profile song launch in Hyderabad. Star actress Samantha officially released the soulful track "Idi Prema" on social media, lending her support to the young team. The celebration continued at Prasad Labs, where acclaimed directors Venky Atluri, Nandini Reddy, and Ravikiran Kola joined as chief guests to cheer on the new talent.
A New Chapter for Harshith Reddy
After a promising start with Subham, actor Harshith Reddy returns as the lead in Deewana, a film he believes will be a career-defining milestone. During the event, Harshith drew inspiration from cinema greats, noting that just as Tholi Prema defined a generation, he hopes Deewana will earn him similar recognition.
Introducing Sneha Manimegalai (as Ammu) to the Telugu screen, the film is directed by Srikanth Sangishetty, who described the project as a raw and honest portrayal of a middle-class boy's journey.
