The teaser for the upcoming Telugu film CASTE, directed by AK Jampanna and produced by Thota Lakshmi Koteswara Rao, was released over the weekend. It opens with a father telling his son they are forbidden from entering an upper-caste household, establishing a social divide that the story explores. A police officer investigating a series of murders becomes the central thread, blending crime with a commentary on caste oppression.
The film stars Varun Sandesh, Gagan, Satyam Rajesh, and Ravi, with Divi Vadthya in a key role. greatandhra.com describes the teaser as setting up a ‘hard-hitting thriller’, while telugu360.com calls it an ‘honest, realistic and impactful’ look at caste-based atrocities. Further details on the release date are awaited.
