Varun Tej is all set to entertain audiences with his upcoming horror-comedy Korean Kanakaraju, directed by Merlapaka Gandhi. The actor is highly confident about the film’s success, noting the phenomenal response to the pre-bookings and the widespread anticipation among moviegoers.Speaking about his role, the actor expressed immense satisfaction in playing a character with two distinct dimensions.
He underwent a complete physical transformation, including a unique Korean hairstyle, to bring authenticity to the screen. “I shouldn’t be visible to the audience… only ‘Kanakaraju’ should be seen. I tried to transform into the character so much that people would call me by that name,” he shared. The film promises a perfect blend of commercial elements, breaking the stereotype that tall actors cannot excel in humor.
Addressing this, he stated, “There is a misconception that tall heroes shouldn’t do comedy. That is not correct. If the character is written well, comedy works out perfectly. Along with comedy, the action sequences have also turned out very well.” With music by Thaman elevating the cultural transition of a mass character from Penukonda to Korea, the film is designed as a great theatrical experience.
Recommending the film to everyone, the actor concluded, “Korean Kanakaraju is a non-stop fun entertainer. It is a hilarious movie that will entertain the audience with a very tight screenplay.” Produced by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainment, the film is gearing up for a grand worldwide release on August 7, with special premieres Today. The bookings have been huge for the film.
