Varun Tej is brimming with confidence ahead of the release of Korean Kanakaraju, which is set to hit theatres worldwide on August 7, with special premieres on August 6. Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, the horror-comedy has generated strong pre-release buzz, and the actor believes audiences are in for a non-stop laughter ride packed with emotion, action and entertainment.
Speaking about the film, Varun revealed that he deliberately chose a comedy after doing several intense action films in recent years. "I wanted to give audiences a stress-busting entertainer where they can laugh throughout the film. Korean Kanakaraju is a perfect blend of all emotions and a hilarious ride from start to finish," he said.
The actor also underwent a complete makeover for the role, sporting a distinctive Korean hairstyle and working hard to disappear into the character. "I wanted the audience to see only Kanakaraju, not Varun Tej," he shared. He also dismissed the notion that tall heroes cannot excel in comedy, adding that well-written characters make humor work irrespective of an actor's image.
Varun will be sharing screen space with comedian Satya for the third time, and he believes their chemistry is one of the film's biggest highlights. Both actors even trained in the Rayalaseema dialect to make the humor feel authentic. He praised Satya as a terrific performer whose role is vital to the story rather than being limited to comic relief.
With music by Thaman, Ritika Nayak as the female lead and production by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainment, Korean Kanakaraju is positioned as a wholesome theatrical entertainer. Encouraged by the strong advance bookings and positive overseas response, Varun expressed confidence that the film will leave audiences smiling when it arrives on the big screen.
