Actress Sumaya Reddy is not just starring in her upcoming film, "Dear Uma" – she's poured her heart and soul into it as its writer and producer as well. Set to release on April 18th, this compelling film features Prithvi Amber in the male lead, with Nagesh as the line producer and Nithin Sai Chandra Reddy as the executive producer. The screenplay, dialogues, and direction are helmed by Sai Rajesh Mahadev, promising a powerful cinematic experience. Adding to the film's appeal is the striking cinematography by Raj Thota and the evocative music by Radhan. The trailer for "Dear Uma," launched yesterday, April 11th, offers a glimpse into a story with contrasting dreams and a strong social message.
The trailer introduces us to a singer aspiring hero and a heroine determined to become a doctor. Their paths intertwine, leading to an unexpected incident that unveils critical flaws within the healthcare system. The narrative appears engaging, filled with emotionally charged moments, impactful action, and a stirring call to action from the hero to "rescue healthcare from the grip of corporate greed," hinting at the film's socially conscious core.
At the trailer launch, a passionate Sumaya Reddy shared her journey: "My aim was to bring meaningful content to the audience. As I wrote the script, I became deeply invested in the story. I've known director Rajesh Garu for years, and he dedicated himself entirely to this project. Initially, I wondered who would believe in my vision enough to invest, and it was my mother who became my pillar of support. Music has always been close to my heart, especially Radhan Garu's work in 'Andala Rakshasi.' I was unsure if he'd agree, but he immediately said yes after hearing the story. I'm also incredibly grateful to Prithvi Garu for believing in the film and becoming our hero. Every person who supported this project has brought us to this point. Our film releases on April 18th, and I sincerely request everyone to watch it and make it a success."
Prithvi Amber expressed his excitement about his Telugu debut: "After 'Dia,' I received a lot of love from the Telugu audience. I joined 'Dear Uma' thanks to Nagesh. Sumaya Garu's dedication is inspiring – writing, producing, and playing the lead with such calm amidst pressure. I'm proud that this is my first Telugu film. Radhan Garu's music is fantastic. I'm thankful to everyone who supported me. Please watch our film on April 18th."
Music Director Radhan praised Sumaya's passion: "The media has been incredibly supportive of 'Dear Uma.' Sumaya Garu's immense passion for this project inspired me to join. Despite challenges, the director ensured the film was completed on schedule. The songs and background score have turned out beautifully. We all worked towards making this film a success, and we hope the audience embraces it on April 18th."
