Kiran Abbavaram’s mythological action-fantasy for Zee Studios has been titled “Indraputra.” The pan-Indian project, directed by Srikanth Puppala, is currently in pre-production and is set to begin principal photography in October. The film is produced by Zee Studios and Prerna Arora and co-produced by Keerthan.
Abbavaram made his acting debut in 2019 with the romantic comedy “Raja Vaaru Rani Gaaru.” His 2021 film “SR Kalyanamandapam,” which he also wrote, helped establish him as a leading actor. He subsequently starred in “Sebastian P.C. 524” and “Sammathame” in 2022, followed by three releases in 2023, including “Vinaro Bhagyamu Vishnu Katha.” His more recent releases include “K-Ramp” and “Chennai Love Story.”
Abbavaram said, “‘Indraputra’ is very different and unconventional from anything I have done before. The moment I heard the story, I realized it was a film that would stimulate me further as an actor and align strongly with my cinematic vision. The role requires both emotional depth and physical transformation, and I am excited to bring this character to life. I am thankful to Zee Studios and Srikanth garu for believing in me. I can’t wait to begin this amazing journey.
Director Srikanth Puppala said, “‘Indraputra’ is a dream that has been close to my heart for a very long time. Our mythology is filled with timeless stories, and with this film, we aim to present one such epic on a scale that is both visually spectacular and emotionally relevant to audiences across the country. Having Kiran Abbavaram lead this journey is truly exciting, as he brings sincerity, intensity and conviction to the character. I thank Zee Studios for placing its faith in this vision, and I am really looking forward to taking ‘Indraputra’ on floors this October.”
Producer Prerna Arora said, “‘Indraputra’ is the beginning of a world we have been passionately building. Inspired by the richness of Indian mythology and infused with a contemporary vision, the film marks the first chapter of an expansive mythological universe.”
Arora’s producing credits include “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha” and “Dhundh.” She has an existing association with Zee Studios, having previously produced “Jatadhara” for the studio.
Further announcements regarding the ensemble cast, technical crew and release date are expected in the coming months.
