Youth, the upcoming film written, directed, and headlined by Ken Karunaas, has generated good buzz in Telugu.
The makers have unveiled the trailer, carrying the catchy slogan “Come with your gang, no age limit,” and it promises a vibrant, nostalgic ride through college life.
Centered around Praveen, played by Ken Karunaas, the story captures the carefree chaos of junior intermediate days at Mother Mary Junior College.
From Freshers’ Day celebrations and dance-filled moments to campus romances and clashes with seniors, the trailer recreates the colorful spirit of youth.
Praveen, a middle-class boy, is torn between his mother’s dream of seeing him become an IAS officer and his own distraction-filled world, where love and cinema take center stage.
Like many youngsters, he idolizes film stars, gets into fights, and chases romance instead of focusing on academics.
As the narrative unfolds, Praveen finds himself in an unexpected situation, being pursued by three girls, leading to amusing and intriguing twists about love and choice.
While his mother holds ambitious dreams for his future, his father, played by Suraj Venjaramoodu, understands his son’s true nature and remains more practical.
The trailer blends lighthearted romance with energetic action and emotional undertones, hinting at a coming-of-age story about responsibility and self-realization.
The background score by G. V. Prakash Kumar adds depth, and the closing glimpse of the song “Kalakatta Panesina Choosuko” from Raghavendra leaves a lasting impression, suggesting a film that will strongly resonate with youth audiences.
The film is gearing up for its Telugu release, with Housefull Vineeth and Sandeep presenting it under the E2C Talkies banner. The film is set to release in Telugu on March 26.
Youth marks Ken Karunaas’ debut as both a lead actor and a director, after previously appearing in supporting roles in films like the acclaimed 2019 movie Asuran.
The film features a diverse cast including Suraj Venjaramoodu, Devadarshini, Anishma Anilkumar, Priyanshi Yadav, and Meenakshi Dinesh.
It is produced by Karuppiah C Ram and Sulochana Kumar under the banners Paarvathaa Entertainments and Street Boy Studios.
