Filmmaker and actor Tharun Bhascker is gearing up to entertain as the lead actor in the upcoming quirky rural comedy Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi.
Paired opposite Eesha Rebba, the film marks the directorial debut of A R Sajeev and is bankrolled by S Originals and Movie Verse Studios.
The film’s teaser is out now. It introduces the protagonist as Ambati Omkar Naidu, a rich but arrogant businessman whose marriage to the calm and disciplined Prashanti forms the crux of the narrative.
Their personality clash sets up an engaging Kutumba Katha family drama with an unexpected twist, as hinted in the promo.
Tharun Bhascker appears at ease in his rural avatar, bringing both nuance and humor to his character. Eesha Rebba shines as the composed Prashanti.
Although it’s a debut movie, director A R Sajeev handled the humour quite capably. The narrative indeed is filled with hilarious moments, although there are some pleasant sequences too.
Cinematographer Deepak Yeragara beautifully frames the rural region’s scenic locations, while Jay Krish’s energetic score gives the teaser a spirited tone. The production values look abundant for the genre.
The teaser is totally enjoyable, gives a positive impression for the movie slated for Republic Day weekend release on January 23rd.
