Dhruva Vaayu, the young actor who gained recognition with Kerosene, is set to don the director's hat for his new film Kalinga. Produced by Deepthi Kondaveeti and Pruthvi Yadav under Big Hit Productions, the film stars Dhruva Vaayu in the lead role and is currently in post-production. With its teaser generating a decent buzz, the makers have announced a theatrical release date of September 13, 2024.
Dhruva Vaayu expressed his excitement about the film's pre-release business being locked, stating that no Telugu film has touched the subject that Kalinga has, and he is confident that it will become a talking point after its release. The film's cameraman, Akshay, highlighted that a chunk of the film was shot in the rain, giving it a special effect.
Kalinga boasts a unique blend of romance, horror, thrills, and comedy, with Pragya Nayan playing the female lead. Despite competing with other low-budget films on September 13, 2024, director Dhruva Vaayu is confident that Kalinga will stand out and impress audiences. The film's OTT deal has also been locked at a decent price, adding to the makers' happiness.
As Dhruva Vaayu gears up for the release of Kalinga, he joins the ranks of new-age actors turned directors, including Dhanush and Bandi Saroj Kumar. With his versatility as an actor and director, Dhruva Vaayu is looking to make a significant impact on the film industry.
