Irumudi trailer: Ravi Teja's father-daughter drama marks filmography shift
A new movie called Irumudi is coming out.
It is the 77th movie of a famous Indian actor named Ravi Teja.
In the story, Ravi Teja plays a dad named Trinadh who loves his little daughter Mani very much.
Something very sad happens to their family, and Trinadh starts drinking alcohol and becomes angry and violent.
His daughter becomes so scared that she asks him to stop drinking.
To get better and win back her trust, Trinadh decides to go on a special 41-day spiritual journey called an Ayyappa Deeksha, which ends at a holy place called Sabarimala.
The movie also has a mystery about bad people taking and hurting young girls in the village, and Trinadh must keep his daughter safe.
It is really about a father who wants to become a better person for his daughter, even though it is very hard.
The trailer was released this week, and the movie will open in theaters around the world on August 21, 2026.
The trailer for Irumudi, Ravi Teja's 77th film, was released on Wednesday, marking a shift toward an emotionally rooted father-daughter story.
Directed by Shiva Nirvana and produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the film follows Trinadh's struggle with alcoholism and his 41-day Ayyappa Deeksha pilgrimage to Sabarimala.
Ravi Teja plays Trinadh, Baby Nakshathra plays his daughter Mani, and Priya Bhavani Shankar plays his wife Kaveri.
The plot also involves abductions and killings of young girls in the village, forcing Trinadh to protect his daughter during his spiritual journey.
Irumudi is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on August 21, 2026, in Telugu and Hindi.
Director Shiva Nirvana said the film is not meant to be a spiritual or religious film but a father's internal journey to become a better man for his daughter.
