Trailer of Tharun Bhascker’s Gayapadda Simham Promises Quirky, Topical Satire

Tharun Bhascker once again proves his knack for choosing unconventional stories with his upcoming quirky entertainer Gayapadda Simham. Written and directed by Kasyap Sreenivas, the film is jointly produced by Kalyana Chakravarthy Manthina, Bhanu Kiran Pratapa, Vijay Krishna Lingamaneni, and Umesh Bansal under the banners of Saptaswa Media Works, POV Stories, and Zee Studios. The film is presented by Pavan Sadineni, who is currently directing Dulquer Salmaan’s Aakasamlo Oka Tara.

After generating buzz with its clever title poster, the makers have now released a fun and engaging trailer. The story revolves around a young man who has dreamt of settling in the United States since childhood. His long-cherished dream finally comes true when he flies to America with high hopes. However, his happiness is short-lived as former US President Donald Trump announces the largest deportation drive in American history.

The narrative follows how the protagonist navigates this sudden crisis and struggles to survive, forming the core of the film. Director Kasyap Sreenivas presents this timely and relatable subject with an entertaining, satirical twist. The trailer suggests a quirky Indian perspective on the American Dream, blending KGF-style elevation with Pelli Choopulu-like humor.

Tharun Bhascker impresses with his sharp comic timing and emotional depth, effortlessly shifting from innocence to frustration. One standout moment sees him humorously mocking his own film Pelli Choopulu by calling it overrated. Faria Abdullah and Subhalekha Sudhakar add to the fun with their KGF-inspired narration, while Maanasa Choudhary plays Tharun’s love interest. Vishnu Oi appears as the protagonist’s close friend.

Sweekar Agasthi’s lively music enhances the film’s mood, and Vidya Sagar Chinta’s cinematography adds visual richness. The story is penned by Surya Prakash Jyosula. Gayapadda Simham is slated for a Summer 2026 release.
