Dil Raju Productions has unveiled the first look of its upcoming Telugu film Hey Kannamma, promising audiences a refreshing romantic entertainer packed with love, emotions and beautiful melodies. The makers introduced the project as a new-age love story, building excitement around its youthful theme and musical appeal. The announcement has already caught attention, especially with the film bringing together a fresh combination of talent in front of and behind the camera.
The film marks the acting debut of choreographer Jeva Yashwanth, who steps into the lead role after making his mark in the world of dance. He will share the screen with Karthika Murali and Dhanashree Verma, who have been introduced as the female leads. The casting gives Hey Kannamma an interesting mix of familiar creative energy and fresh faces, with the makers aiming to connect with viewers through a contemporary take on romance.
The first-look poster offers a glimpse into the film’s youthful world through a charming watercolor-inspired design. Jeva Yashwanth takes centre stage, sporting headphones and a backpack, while Karthika Murali and Dhanashree Verma appear on either side of him. The colourful artwork creates a warm, dreamy atmosphere that fits the film’s musical romantic identity. Rather than revealing too much about the storyline, the poster focuses on establishing the mood and personality of this new-age love story.
Written and directed by Sasi Kumar Muthuluri, Hey Kannamma is being presented as a musical romantic drama where emotions and melodies are expected to play an important role. Music is among the key attractions of the project, with Karthik Music Experience, Jay Krish and other collaborators associated with the film. The makers are clearly positioning the soundtrack as an important part of the storytelling, giving audiences another reason to look forward to the teaser and upcoming promotional material.
The announcement also came with an exciting update for fans, as Dil Raju Productions confirmed that the teaser would drop on the same day as the first-look reveal. The back-to-back promotional announcements suggest that the team is ready to introduce the film’s world and its lead characters to a wider audience. With its colourful poster, youthful casting and promise of a melody-filled romance, Hey Kannamma is looking to carve out its own space among upcoming Telugu romantic dramas.
For Jeva Yashwanth, the film represents a major new chapter as he transitions from choreography to playing the lead character. Karthika Murali and Dhanashree Verma add further interest to the project, while Sasi Kumar Muthuluri leads the creative vision. Presented by Dil Raju Productions in association with Zee Studios and Saregama South, Hey Kannamma has made a cheerful first impression. Whether its teaser delivers on the promise of the poster will be the next big talking point for fans of Telugu cinema.
