Varun Tej’s upcoming horror-comedy entertainer Korean Kanakaraju, directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, is all set to hit theatres worldwide on August 7. Produced jointly by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainments, the film has already generated significant buzz with its title glimpse and the first single Kamsahamnida, which introduced audiences to the film’s unique Korean-inspired flavour. The makers officially announced the release date by unveiling a striking new poster.
The release date poster features Varun Tej in a rugged and ultra-stylish avatar, seated confidently on a chair while holding a blood-stained knife in one hand and a grenade in the other. Surrounded by dangerous Korean gangsters inside a dimly lit warehouse, Varun’s fearless expression hints at the powerful characterization he portrays in the film. The neon-lit backdrop adds a rich visual appeal, further raising expectations for the movie.
Ritika Nayak stars opposite Varun Tej as the female lead, while popular comedian Satya plays a key role. The film boasts a strong technical team, with music composed by S. Thaman and cinematography by Manoj Reddy Katasani. Blending Korean culture, gangster drama, local humour, and Merlapaka Gandhi’s signature horror-comedy style, Korean Kanakaraju has emerged as one of the most anticipated Telugu films of the year. With the release date now confirmed, the makers are expected to kick off an aggressive promotional campaign in the coming weeks.
