Varun Tej Sets the Screen on Fire with ‘Raasa Gummadi’ from Korean Kanakaraju
Excitement surrounding Mega Prince Varun Tej’s upcoming horror-comedy Korean Kanakaraju continues to soar as the makers unveiled the film’s vibrant second single, “Raasa Gummadi.” Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, the film promises a perfect blend of supernatural thrills, comedy, and commercial entertainment. Produced by UV Creations in association with First Frame Entertainment, the movie is currently in the final stages of post-production and is gearing up for a grand worldwide theatrical release on August 7.
Following the tremendous response to the title glimpse, entertaining teaser, and chartbuster first single “Kamsahamnida,” the team has now raised expectations with “Raasa Gummadi.” Unlike the Korea-inspired flavor of the first track, this latest song celebrates authentic Telugu folk culture with energetic beats, rustic instrumentation, and festive village vibes.
Composed by S. Thaman, the song instantly grabs attention with its catchy rhythm and vibrant orchestration. The opening, where the female vocalist affectionately addresses the hero as “Vanne Rayudu,” smoothly transitions into an energetic folk celebration. Renowned folk singer Nalgonda Gaddar brings unmatched energy with his earthy vocals, while lyricist Kasarla Shyam pens lively lyrics that perfectly capture the spirit of a colorful village festival.
The biggest highlight of the song is Varun Tej’s never-seen-before mass dance avatar. Dressed in traditional attire complemented by stylish sunglasses, the actor delivers energetic dance moves with effortless swag and confidence. His commanding screen presence, coupled with stunning choreography, makes every frame visually captivating.
Adding glamour and charm to the song is Daksha Nagarkar, whose spirited performance and sizzling chemistry with Varun Tej elevate the festive mood. The carnival-themed set, colorful visuals, and pulsating folk beats transform “Raasa Gummadi” into a complete mass entertainer that is expected to become a chartbuster and a major crowd-puller in theatres.
Ritika Nayak stars as the female lead opposite Varun Tej, while Satya is set to entertain audiences in a pivotal comic role. The film boasts a strong technical team, with S. Thaman composing the music, Manojh Reddy Katasani handling cinematography, and Satyaa G taking charge of editing.
With every promotional asset receiving an overwhelming response, Korean Kanakaraju is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated Telugu entertainers of the season. Packed with comedy, horror, music, and festive entertainment, the film is all set to arrive in cinemas worldwide on August 7.
