Kiran Abbavaram's directorial debut, now titled Reality, is set for a theatrical release on December 25. The film, featuring Devika Bhat and a star-studded cast, promises a festive treat with its cheerful protagonist and lavish production. Abbavaram shared a glimpse of the film, heightening anticipation for this Christmas release.
Kiran Abbavaram upcoming film, which was announced in June this year as #KA13, has a new title. The film, now titled Reality, will release in theatres on December 25 and will also mark Abbavaram directorial debut.
The actor shared the first look on X on Monday, with a caption reading, "Meeru entha Mandi wait chestunaru ee Moment Gurinchi (How many of you are waiting for this moment?). REALITY - DECEMBER 25"
The glimpse, just over 1 minute long, introduces Abbavaram as the protagonist—a lively, cheerful man shown helping out at his family's restaurant. It also offers a look into the moments he shares with his family, such as him sitting on the terrace and making appadams with them, that bolster his image as a family man.
The film also stars Devika Bhat as the female lead, along with actors Sharat Kumar, Sai Kumar, Rohini Annapurnamma and Sudharshan.
Reality is penned by Abbavaram and is produced by Sudhakar Chaganti under the banner of JOY Films. Said to be produced on a lavish scale, the project is currently wrapping up its schedule in Machilipatnam.
The Christmas slot will see several big films releasing, including Nagarjuna-led King100, Shah Rukh Khan's King, Mohanlal's Athimanoharam, directed by Tharun Moorthy, and Dwayne Johnson-led Jumanji: Open World releasing on the same date.
Abbavaram last headlined the Telugu romance Chennai Love Story alongside Sri Gouri Priya and is also set to appear in the mythological fantasy Indraputra which will begin principal photography in October.
