Promotions for Mega Prince Varun Tej’s upcoming supernatural comedy-thriller, Korean Kanakaraju, just received a massive boost. Mega Power Star Ram Charan officially launched the theatrical trailer, giving audiences a glimpse into director Merlapaka Gandhi’s wildly imaginative cross-cultural entertainer.
Jointly bankrolled by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainment, the film is gearing up for a grand worldwide theatrical release on August 7, 2026.
Rayalaseema Meets a Korean Underworld Don
The trailer sets up a unique premise:
-
The Occult Twist: It opens with Satya, his father, and Ritika Naik performing a Kshudra Puja to summon the mysterious spirit of "Korean Kanakaraju."
-
Possession & Pandemonium: A carefree youngster from Penukonda, working near the local Kia manufacturing plant, finds his peaceful love life upended when he gets possessed by the ruthless spirit of a dead Korean mob boss.
Merging rustic Rayalaseema flavor with Korean folklore, the narrative promises an entertaining blend of eerie jumpscares, stylish action sequences, and laugh-out-loud comedy.
Varun Tej Shines in a Dual-Toned Role
Varun Tej showcases his range by effortlessly switching between two contrasting personalities—the innocent, fun-loving Rayalaseema boy and the menacing, Korean-speaking gangster possessing him. His command over the local dialect, paired with sharp physical comedy, stands out as a major highlight.
Comedian Satya steals multiple scenes with his signature comic timing, while leading lady Ritika Naik adds charm. The supporting cast includes Sunil and Muralidhar Goud in pivotal roles.
