New Delhi [India], July 18: Actor and producer Anupama Prakash is stepping into a new cinematic territory with her Telugu debut, Mr. Reddy, directed by Venkat Reddy and produced by TNR and Rajeev Reddy. The film, set to hit theatres on 18 July 2025, marks a significant milestone in her career as she takes center stage in Tollywood for the very first time.
Known for her layered performances and effortless screen presence, Anupama’s journey has never followed a conventional path. With every new project, she expands her creative horizon — and this foray into Telugu cinema is no detour. It’s a strategic progression, rooted in her desire to evolve as a pan-Indian performer.
In Mr. Reddy, early feedback from the film’s rushes suggests that her character is central to the narrative, with emotional complexity and quiet intensity. The story delves into themes of family loyalty and personal ambition, offering her a canvas that blends subtlety with strength. The music amplifies this further, complementing the silences and moments of internal conflict that define her role.
But Mr. Reddy is just the beginning. Anupama is already working on three more Telugu films, each at different stages of production. Varying in tone and genre, these projects reinforce her commitment to versatility and substance — hallmarks of her acting choices since the start.
Simultaneously, she’s making waves in Bollywood with her upcoming Hindi feature What’s Up, currently in post-production. Set against a contemporary urban backdrop, the film explores the blurred lines between friendship, identity, and emotional clarity. Anupama’s performance — balancing wit and vulnerability — has already been described by the director as “honest and rooted, with an instinctive feel for how scenes should breathe.”
2025, however, is not just about acting for Anupama. It’s also the year she dons the producer’s hat. Along with creative partner Tushar Mehta, she has co-founded Kaccha Lemmon Productions — a Mumbai-based production house with a focus on fresh storytelling, emerging talent, and unconventional formats.
The production company has launched with a diverse slate that includes the youth-centric web series Band Baja Aafat, the feature film What’s Up, and a vibrant indie-pop music video Mirchi Billi, already gaining attention across streaming platforms. Importantly, Kaccha Lemmon Productions is not a vanity label — both Anupama and Tushar are hands-on with every project, involved from development and casting to final edits.
Anupama’s goal as a producer is clear: to create space for bold, meaningful narratives that often get overlooked by traditional studios. In several interviews, she’s emphasized her belief in content that has “sharp edges, layered characters, and emotional truth” — values that she upholds across formats and languages.
Whether it’s the grounded humour of What’s Up, the youthful chaos of Band Baja Aafat, or the musical flair of Mirchi Billi, each project reflects a clear vision: to take creative risks, reach new audiences, and tell stories that resonate with the realities of today’s generation.
With multiple releases lined up across platforms and languages, 2025 is shaping up to be a breakout year in Anupama Prakash’s career. But beyond the sheer volume of work, what stands out is her clarity of purpose. Whether she’s on a Telugu film set in Hyderabad or in a writer’s room in Mumbai, her focus remains unwavering — to pursue meaningful work, delivered with sincerity and built on trust.
As Mr. Reddy readies for release, Anupama is not just stepping into Tollywood — she’s steadily building a pan-Indian creative legacy. With her distinct choices as an actor and her emerging voice as a producer, she’s not following trends — she’s setting her own. And that’s what makes her journey one to watch.
