After the huge success of Little Hearts, actor Mouli Tanuj Prasanth has teamed up with debutant director Srinu Kambala for his next film under the Mythri Movie Makers banner. The makers are set to unveil the film’s title and first look at a Hyderabad college tomorrow, an unusual promotional strategy that has generated some curiosity.
The crime comedy has been titled Donga Naa Koduku and is currently in the final leg of shooting. Sushmitha Shen plays the female lead. More details, including the release date, are expected to be officially announced soon.
After becoming popular through YouTube and earning appreciation with the 90s, Mouli scored a big success with Little Hearts. Despite receiving several offers, he has been selective about his projects, making this collaboration with Mythri an interesting one.
However, it is the title that has become the biggest talking point.
Unlike the usual classy or intense titles, Donga Naa Koduku instantly grabs attention with its mass appeal and colloquial flavor. At the same time, not everyone is convinced.
A section of social media users feels such titles are borderline abusive and argue that phrases commonly used as abuses should not become catchy film titles simply to capture attention.
For now, the title has already done its job. It has made people curious. The first look launch at the Hyderabad college tomorrow is expected to give audiences a clearer idea of whether Donga Naa Koduku is merely a provocative title or one that genuinely fits the film’s tone.
