The promotional campaign for the out-and-out family comedy Mr. Middle Class kicked off on a high note with a grand teaser launch event in Hyderabad. Helmed by prominent comedy director G. Nageswar Reddy, the film stars Meka Srikanth and Laya in the lead roles, with veteran actor Natakireeti Rajendra Prasad portraying a highly critical character.
The event was attended by legendary filmmaker S.V. Krishna Reddy and senior producer K. Achi Reddy as the chief guests, who formally unveiled the teaser alongside the film's production unit.
Event Highlights and Team Statements
The promotional teaser showcases a highly hilarious narrative built around the everyday realities of a traditional middle-class household, infused with a major supernatural twist involving divine intervention.
Srikanth (Lead Actor)
"It feels wonderful to return to the lead space with such a relatable script after quite a long gap. The moment G. Nageswar Reddy came on board, my confidence doubled because his comedy timing is unmatched. Reuniting with Laya felt nostalgic—she is just as brilliant as she was during our Swarabhishekam days.
A major highlight of the film is Rajendra Prasad garu, who has portrayed the character of Lord Venkateswara Swamy with absolute dedication and honesty. With fantastic support from character actors like Muralidhar Goud playing my father, sharp dialogues by Diamond Ratnababu, and high-energy music by Sai Kartheek, this film will deeply connect with every middle-class family."
Laya (Lead Actress)
"Working on Mr. Middle Class felt exactly like shooting with family because I have already shared screen space with almost everyone in this ensemble cast. When the director first narrated the script, I couldn't stop laughing. It has been a while since I did a wholesome family entertainer, and I am confident that audiences will thoroughly enjoy the hilarious situations in this movie."
G. Nageswar Reddy (Director)
"I will forever remain indebted to my mentor, S.V. Krishna Reddy garu, from whom I learned the ropes of filmmaking. This project is going to be a strong comeback vehicle for Srikanth. Structurally, the screenplay deals with the universal concept of Karma (deeds and consequences), packaged into a laugh-out-loud comedy. As a director, I always prioritize the producer's economics, and we have successfully delivered a high-quality product well within our planned budget limits."
Insights from the Creative and Production Teams
Music Director Sai Kartheek shared the core hook: "The storyline revolves around an intriguing premise: What would happen if God appeared before a common man and offered to fulfill a wish? While composing the background score, I watched the footage multiple times, and the situational humor is absolutely top-tier."
