With the teaser also out in Malayalam, Kerala theatres will have father and son competing for audiences on the same Friday.
Dulquer's fourth Telugu lead
Aakasamlo Oka Tara is his fourth Telugu film as a lead, after Mahanati, Sita Ramam and Lucky Baskhar. For the run-up to the teaser, read our earlier Aakasamlo Oka Tara story. His most recent Malayalam release, I'm Game, is now streaming.
What the teaser shows
The teaser runs one minute and 51 seconds. It centres on Satvika Veeravalli's character, a village student who tops her district but is pushed by her family into marriage. Krishna, played by Dulquer, is the man she marries, and he backs her plan to go far beyond the village, all the way to space.
That puts Satvika at the centre of the story. Shruti Haasan's role was not revealed in the teaser.
