Ashish-starrer 'DeThadi' unit begins second schedule

Ashish-starrer 'DeThadi' begins second schedule. The film follows a street drum artiste Ghannu Bhai in Hyderabad, backed by Dil Raju and Shirish.

"Ghannu Bhai and his troupe are admired for their remarkable stamina, carrying nearly seven kilos of drums and performing for hours without pause. - Sources close to the unit"

Hyderabad, May 7

If sources in the industry are to be believed, the unit of director Aditya Rao Gangasani's upcoming entertainer 'DeThadi', featuring actor Ashish in the lead, has now begun its second schedule.

Sources close to the unit say that along with Ashish, key actors will be participating in this schedule.

For the unaware, an interesting glimpse video that the makers had released earlier showed that the story of the film would revolve around a celebrated street drum artiste.

The glimpse video, which the makers released, had offered a lively and colourful introduction to the world of its protagonist, Ghannu Bhai, a celebrated street-drum artiste who brings energy to festivities and celebrations across Hyderabad and Secunderabad.

Ghannu Bhai and his troupe are admired for their remarkable stamina, carrying nearly seven kilos of drums and performing for hours without pause. Yet, beneath the joyful beats lie an unmistakable sense of dignity and self-respect, something the Glimpse captured with subtle grace.

A big part of the freshness came from Ashish's immersive performance. His rugged makeover- complete with an unkempt beard, fit the character seamlessly. His body language, his raw attitude, the way he downed alcohol, and the effortless Hyderabad slang added a strong mass flavour and authenticity to the portrayal.

Leading producers Dil Raju and Shirish, the driving forces behind Sri Venkateswara Creations, are backing 'DeThadi'.

For the unaware, Ashish, who plays the lead in this film, is best known for his work in 'Rowdy Boys' and 'Love Me'. The project marks the directorial debut of Aditya Rao Gangasani, who is crafting a narrative steeped in the flavours, moods, and everyday pulse of Hyderabad.

For a debutant, Aditya Rao Gangasani handles the storytelling with remarkable command, showcasing Ashish's character with surprising finesse and cinematic attitude.

The film has been mounted on a grand scale by Sri Venkateswara Creations and Dil Raju Production.

The stamp of Prasanna Kumar Bezawada, who serves as screenplay writer, dialogue writer, and creative head, is clearly visible. The visuals in the Glimpse looked vivid and energetic, while music director Junaid Kumar amplified the celebratory mood with pulsating drum-driven beats.

Finally, a film that celebrates street artists! In India, we often overlook the talent of drummers and performers at festivals. The fact that they're highlighting their stamina and dignity is refreshing. Hope the movie does justice to their culture.

Dil Raju backing this is a good sign! He knows how to pick projects with mass appeal. Ashish's rugged look and that Hyderabadi slang in the glimpse were spot on. Can't wait for the full movie. Just hope the story doesn't get too preachy about social issues.

I'm not usually into Telugu cinema, but this concept is intriguing. The idea of a street drum artiste as a protagonist is unique. The glimpse video sounds vibrant. However, I hope they don't overdo the 'mass' elements and focus on a genuine story.

Junaid Kumar's drum-driven beats in the glimpse were already fire! The music can make or break a film like this. Ashish's dedication to the role is evident. He looks like he's been living on the streets of Hyderabad for months. Respect! 💪

Interesting to see the Telugu film industry exploring such niche stories. The heavy drums and the stamina required sounds intense. But I'm a bit skeptical about how a debutant director will handle the narrative. Hope the second schedule brings out the best in the cast.
