Vishwaksen’s New Film #CULT Launched Grandly: Features 40 Newcomers and ShootBegins
Actor, director, producer, and writer — Vishwaksen, fondly known as Mass Ka Das, continues to redefine boundaries in Indian cinema. After making his mark with Falaknuma Das and Das Ka Dhamki, the versatile star is all set to launch his most ambitious project yet: #CULT.
This unique film is being produced by Karate Raju and Sandeep Kakarala under the banners of Tarak Cinemas and Vanmaye Creations. Not only is Vishwaksen directing the film, but he has also written the story, signaling yet another deeply personal and creatively bold venture.
Touted as a new-age party thriller inspired by real events, #CULT promises to shatter cinematic conventions. The announcement poster sets the tone — the protagonist wearing a goat mask, surrounded by flying confetti and industrial containers, hints at a wild, unpredictable narrative. It’s clear that #CULT is unlike anything Telugu cinema has attempted before.
The film was launched today with a grand pooja ceremony at Ramanaidu Studios. Esteemed producer S. Radha Krishna (Chinna Babu) unveiled the title logo. Telangana Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav gave the first clap by switching on the camera, while veteran producer Allu Aravind sounded the clapboard. With the formal launch complete, the film’s regular shoot has officially begun.
In a groundbreaking move, Vishwaksen will introduce 40 debutants through #CULT, giving fresh talent a platform to shine. Backing his vision is a powerhouse technical team. Acclaimed director Tharun Bhascker has written the dialogues, while music is composed by Ravi Basrur — known for his work in KGF and Salaar. The visuals are in the hands of cinematographer Arvind Vishwanathan, with editing by Ravi Teja Girijala and art direction by Arvind Mule.
Taking a bold leap toward global recognition, #CULT is set for release in five languages — Telugu, Hindi, Japanese, Spanish, and English — underlining its universal themes and worldwide appeal.
