Hey Kannamma teaser: Dil Raju Productions’ new-age love story opens on 27 November

Hey Kannamma, a Telugu romance from Dil Raju Productions, will reach cinemas on Friday, 27 November. The makers put the date on the closing card of the Hey Kannamma teaser, which went up on Dil Raju’s official YouTube channel on the evening of Saturday, 14 November.

The 84-second clip cuts between a seaside city with a long sea bridge, a stretch of beach, mist-covered hilltops, a dance studio and the packed streets of a city abroad, where the hero is seen running down the road. An on-screen line sells the film as a new-age love story. Jay Krish, who composed the background score, also scored the teaser; the songs are by Karthik.

A choreographer in the lead

Yashwanth, a dance choreographer who is billed simply as Yash in the teaser’s title, plays the lead. Karthika Muraleedharan, Seerat Kapoor, Dhanasree Verma, Venkatesh Kakumanu and Brahmaji are also in the cast, according to the official description. Sasi Kumar Muthuluri wrote and directed the film, and Rampy Nandigam is the cinematographer.

From the makers of Balagam

Harshith Reddy and Hanshitha Reddy produced the film for Dil Raju Productions, and Zee Studios presents it. The project was first announced in 2023 under the title Aakasam Dhaati Vasthaava, a name the official upload still carries among its tags. The same two producers made Balagam under this banner in 2023; that family drama went on to win the Gaddar Telangana Film Award for best feature film.

Hey Kannamma will not have the Friday to itself. Haindava, the Bellamkonda Sai Sreenivas film directed by Ludheer Byreddy for Moonshine Pictures, is also set for theatres on 27 November, according to its official teaser. Mysaa, an action thriller led by Rashmika Mandanna and directed by Rawindra Pulle, is due the same day, according to the making video of its song O Mysaa Re, posted on T-Series Telugu on 12 November.
