When Chronic Overthinking Turns Into a High-Altitude Comedy of Errors: ‘Star Boy’ Siddhu Jonnalagadda Drops the Riotous Trailer of Anumana Pakshi!
Filmmaker Vimal Krishna, who captured the pulse of contemporary Telugu youth comedy with the cult sensation DJ Tillu, is back with another offbeat, character-driven laugh riot. Titled Anumana Pakshi, the comedy entertainer features dynamic actor Rag Mayur (Cinema Bandi, Keedaa Cola fame) in the lead, venturing into an unapologetically eccentric territory of humor.
Presented by Chilaka Productions and bankrolled by Rajiv Chilaka, Rajesh Jagtiani, and Hirachand Dand, the film has locked its theatrical arrival for September 18, 2026.
To kick off the final leg of promotions, ‘Star Boy’ Siddhu Jonnalagadda—who shared a career-defining collaboration with Vimal Krishna—virtually launched the theatrical trailer, extending his warmest wishes to the entire team.
Inside the Trailer: Overthinking, Kashmiri Serenity & Cop Chases
The trailer wastes no time introducing the chaotic psychological quirks of its protagonist, Sunny (Rag Mayur):
-
The Chronic Skeptic: Sunny suffers from hyperactive paranoia—he cannot accept anything at face value, spots conspiracy in everyday conversations, and overanalyzes the simplest social interactions to absurd lengths.
-
A Kashmiri Twist of Fate: In an effort to unwind, Sunny travels to the picturesque valleys of Kashmir, where love knocks on his door in the form of a charming young woman, played by Merin Philip.
-
A High-Stakes Chase: Just as romance begins to thaw his constant skepticism, his life descends into madcap chaos as a stern police officer (played by Ajay) begins hunting him across the snowscapes. What unexpected trouble did Sunny stumble into in Kashmir, and how does an innocent overthinker wiggle his way out of an escalating manhunt? The trailer teases these questions with non-stop punchlines.
Performances: Rag Mayur’s Comedic Gold & An Ensemble in Top Form
-
Rag Mayur’s Trademark Timing: Known for his deadpan, expressive acting, Rag Mayur fits the role like a glove. His twitchy body language, anxious delivery, and panicked monologues anchor the trailer’s funniest gags.
-
Fresh Chemistry: Female lead Merin Philip brings a pleasant, grounded charm to the screen, serving as the calm counterpart to Sunny's neurotic frenzy.
-
Deadpan Villainy: Character actor Ajay plays against type by delivering laughs through a deadpan, dead-serious cop persona, while an accomplished supporting squad—including Brahmaji, Prince Cecil, Raasi, Anannayaa, and Charith—promises sharp situational comedy.
Lush Visuals & Upbeat Acoustic Energy
Despite being a screwball comedy, Anumana Pakshi refuses to cut corners on technical flair:
-
Lensing Kashmir: Cinematographer Sunil Kumar Nama captures the snow-draped landscapes, cozy wooden cabins, and scenic roadways of Kashmir with rich cinematic gloss.
-
Sricharan Pakala’s Score: Music director Sricharan Pakala provides a bouncy, fast-paced acoustic background that complements Vimal Krishna’s eccentric comic timing.
-
Slick Post-Production: Seamlessly packaged with snappy cuts by editor Chota K. Prasad and realistic set detailing by art director JK Murthy, the film reflects polished production values from Chilaka Productions.
Mark your calendars: the madness lands in theatres on Friday, September 18, 2026!
