Andhra King Taluka (2025) propels Telugu cinema into a ruddy ale of fanhood — romance, comedy and emotional resonance in its most obscenely unvarnished form that does justice to the morality of love audience members have for their idols. A film by Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty fame Mahesh Babu P., this showcases Ram Pothineni in one of his challenging roles till date — a devoted fan for whom his screen idol is everything in life.
Co-starring Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead and Kannada superstar Upendra as the enigmatic “Andhra King” Surya Kumar, the film promises a lively exploration of identity, love, and celebrity worship. Produced by Mythri Movie Makers in association with T-Series, the film—previously known as RAPO 22—unveiled its title on Ram’s birthday in May 2025, building huge anticipation ahead of its worldwide theatrical release on November 28, 2025.
Plot: A Long-Suffering Fan’s Quest for Love and Redemption
Andhra King Taluka (formerly Sagar) is the story of a simple boy from a small Telugu town whose whole world revolves around his idol, superstar Surya Kumar aka “Andhra King.” he’s ultimate fanboy and Sagar live, breathes all the memorabilia that he can hoard and turns up for every movie first-day-first-show leading the local fan club hopelessly devoted.
But when a new film starring his hero Surya Kumar disturbs the peace in Sagar’s small village, Sagar becomes fanatical about Kumarswar and his ideals, testing friendships and pushing fanaticism to its extreme. The film strikes a balance of high-octane comedy and introspective drama, with action-comedy set pieces — slapstick ticket chases one minute, rooftop screenings the next and tender romantic interludes proving that Sagar’s messiness is just like anyone else’s.
The authority Upendra wields as Surya Kumar is at once an inspiration and reflection of Sagar’s journey, hitting upon notes of self-discovery, love and fandom in the larger-than-life canvas of cinema.
