What Kind Of Venkat Prabhu Turns Up For 'Custody'?

Update: 2023-01-03 09:30 GMT
After a failure like 'Thank You', Naga Chaitanya decided to join hands with Tamil director Venkat Prabhu for an interesting action thriller titled 'Custody'. The first look poster which came out a few weeks back generated a lot of buzz. The Akkineni hero looked dashing in it with a police uniform on and he even had blood on his face which added to the intensity.

It has been written on the poster that 'You must be the change you wish to see in the world'. This gives us an idea on how the movie's story is going to pan out. 'Custody' is going to be 'A Venkat Prabhu Hunt'. While the expectations are high, fans of Naga Chaitanya are not quite sure about what to expect from the director.

Venkat Prabhu is a very creative director but he is quite inconsistent. His first film as a director was 'Chennai 600028' which came out in 2007. It was quite successful and he followed it up with another hit like 'Saroja'. While 'Goa' ended up as an average, he entered the big league with Ajith's 'Mankatha' ('Gambler' in Telugu). He became a star director but he lost his success streak.

His next two films 'Biryani' with 'Karthi' and 'Mass' ('Rakshasudu' in Telugu) with Surya did not meet the expectations. He scored a decent hit with the second part of 'Chennai 600028' but his web series 'Live Telecast' which featured Kajal in the lead was a huge disappointment. He was one of the directors for two anthologies that were released on OTT platforms.

He scored a big blockbuster in 2021 with 'Maanadu' which had Simbu as the lead. It is a time loop that impressed everyone heavily. He is making 'Custody' now which has a positive vibe around it but we need to wait and see what Venkat Prabhu delivers this time.

This movie is being made simultaneously in Telugu as well as Tamil. The shooting is going on at a brisk pace and it is Krithi Shetty who will be romancing Naga Chaitanya once again after 'Bangarraju' in this film.  Aravind Swami who swooned everyone with 'Roja' back in the 90s will be seen playing the villain's role in this film. Talented actress Priyamani and senior actor Sarath Kumar are also a part of this project.

Abburi Ravi has penned dialogues while Srinivasaa Chitturi of Srinivasaa Silver Screen is bankrolling the yet-to-be-titled film. Pavan Kumar will be presenting this ambitious project. The legendary father-son duo of Maestro, Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja and Little Maestro Yuvan Shankar Raja are going to score tunes for the film. This is their first film together and it is indeed going to be one of the major attractions. The movie will be arriving in the summer of 2023 as per reports.
