Gulshan Devaiah in Maa Inti Bangaaram
The makers of director Nandini Reddy's upcoming action drama, Maa Inti Bangaaram, featuring actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu in the lead, on Wednesday revealed the character actor Gulshan Devaiah plays in the film. He plays one of the leads in the film and the makers have given some details about his character.
Tralala Moving Pictures, the production house producing the film, took to its social media timelines to share the first look poster of Gulshan Devaiah in the film and said, "Composed yet chaotic. Meet the talented gulshandevaiah78 as âKARUNA' from Maa Inti Bangaaram. A Mass Family Entertainer with a Fresh Twist.#MiBTrailer Out Now!"
The trailer released shows Samantha arriving at her boyfriend's place. She is met with a lot of questions that include, "I think I've seen you before." "What is your name?" and "where are you from?"
However, she asks a loaded question in reply. "Do you know who I really am?"
The trailer gives the impression that her partner, who fell in love with her, waited for her for two years and that she has now joined him at his place.
His family members ask her about what her caste is, whether she knows to cook and how many siblings she has. However, these questions make her feel like she is being grilled like a criminal.
She is then introduced to Anusuya, the younger daughter-in-law of the house. Anusuya is referred to as "maa inti Bangaram" (the gold of our house) by the other members of the household.
"A daughter-in-law is expected to have many qualities to be seen as the ideal woman. She should be beautiful, lean, well behaved, should cook and sing," she laments and then declares, "I have none of those qualities. But I have one quality. I can risk everything to keep my family safe."
We then see Samantha bashing up baddies, left, right and centre. At one point, she is seen delivering a threat to a bad guy. "Why did you talk to him like that?" asks a woman and Samantha replies, "Be it a hero or a housewife, when the dialogue lands right, it can scare anyone."
It is evident that she has a past which she has hidden from her present family in the film. And her past has had her throwing punches and delivering kicks!
Maa Inti Bangaaram is a family action comedy drama created by Raj Nidimoru and directed by Nandini Reddy. Previously, Samantha and Nandini have worked together in the hit Telugu drama Oh! Baby.
The film stars Diganth and Gulshan Devaiah in key roles, with a supporting cast featuring Sree Mukhi, Gautami, Anand, Lakshmi, Srinivas Gavireddy, and Manjusha. Samantha's Tralala Moving Pictures has produced this film.
