Folk Beats & Mass Swag: Varun Tej Sets the Screen Ablaze in 'Rasaa Gummadi' from Korean Kanakaraju
The promotional momentum for Mega Prince Varun Tej’s upcoming horror-comedy Korean Kanakaraju is scaling new heights. Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, the film promises a unique blend of supernatural chaos and slapstick humor. Jointly produced by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainment, the project is currently wrapping up its final post-production work.
Following the massive viral success of the Korea-inspired first single "Kamsahamnida," the makers have now dropped their second single, "Rasaa Gummadi"—a track that pivots completely into pure, unadulterated Telugu folk roots.
A Pure Earthy Mass Entertainer
Composed by Thaman S, "Rasaa Gummadi" is a vibrant celebration packed with rustic instrumentation, pulsating rhythms, and a festive village atmosphere.
Track Breakdown:
The Vocal Power: Popular folk singer Nalgonda Gaddar lends his signature earthy vocals, bringing raw energy to the composition.
The Lyrics: Written by Kasarla Shyam, the lyrics capture the festive spirit of rural celebrations, opening with a female vocal hailing the protagonist as 'Vanne Rayudu'.
The Chemistry: Varun Tej brings maximum charisma in traditional ethnic wear paired with stylish shades. He is joined by the glamorous Daksha Nagarkar, whose spirited dance moves match Varun's high-energy choreography frame for frame.
Grand Visuals & A Stellar Team
Set against a colorful, carnival-themed backdrop, the visual presentation highlights the film's rich production values. Handled by cinematographer Manojh Reddy Katasani, every frame bursts with festive colors.
Korean Kanakaraju stars Ritika Nayak as the female lead alongside Varun Tej, with comedian Satya playing a key comic role. Produced by Rajeev Reddy and Sai Babu Jagarlamudi, the film is geared up for a grand worldwide release on August 7.
