Sampath Nandi Team Works and KV Sridhar Reddy have launched their new Telugu film 'Shanarthi' at Rama Naidu Studios in Hyderabad. The film stars Akhil Raj, who impressed in 'Raju Weds Rambai', and Naga Durga, a Telangana folk artist making her feature film debut. Raj Ganesh Uppunooti, a protégé of Sampath Nandi, directs the project. The title is a traditional Telangana greeting, and the tagline 'A Tale of Culture' signals the rural setting. Music is composed by Suresh Bobbili. Shooting is expected to begin soon.


The routine celebration of another Telangana-rooted film risks feeling like a packaging exercise, but the casting of folk singer Naga Durga as lead and the use of a local greeting as title suggest genuine care for cultural texture. The real test will be whether the story transcends the picturesque backdrop and delivers a narrative that resonates beyond the region.
