Ashish takes center stage in the recently unveiled glimpse of DeThadi, a culturally rich drama produced by the powerhouse duo Dil Raju and Shirish under Sri Venkateswara Creations. Known for his notable performances in Rowdy Boys and Love Me, Ashish embraces a rugged avatar as Ghannu Bhai, a street drummer deeply rooted in Hyderabad’s vibrant cultural fabric. The film marks the directorial debut of Aditya Rao Gangasani, who has crafted a narrative pulsating with the city’s energy and soul.
The glimpse vividly portrays Ghannu Bhai not just as a performer but as a custodian of tradition and pride within Hyderabad’s thriving drumming community. Ashish’s immersive portrayal is heightened by his authentic Hyderabadi slang and a striking physical transformation that adds rawness and credibility. Prasanna Kumar Bezawada’s creative vision shines through as he handles the screenplay, dialogues, and overall creative direction, while Junaid Kumar’s dynamic drum-driven score intensifies the film’s festive mood.
The grand unveiling featured over 500 street drummers performing in unison, creating an electrifying atmosphere that has sparked excitement among fans and on social media. This bold cultural celebration, combined with high production values, sets DeThadi apart as a film to watch closely.
With shooting progressing steadily, audiences eagerly await the theatrical release, anticipating a powerful blend of spirited storytelling and kinetic visuals in DeThadi.
