By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 30 Sept 2026 4:45 PM ISTTrinadha Rao Nakkina has already made a name for himself with entertaining Telugu films. His earlier movies, including Nenu Local and Cinema Choopistha Mava connected well with audiences because of their simple stories, comedy and entertainment.
Now, Trinadha Rao Nakkina is entering another important phase in his career. This time, he is not just associated with a film as a director or writer, but is also stepping forward as a producer.
His latest project, Anakapalli is creating interest ahead of its theatrical release. The film stars Vikram Sahidev, Sandhya Vasishta and Tarak Ponnappa while Khagesh Tammineni is directing it. Trinadha Rao Nakkina has written the story and screenplay and is also producing the film along with Kandregula Naidu.
Anakapalli is presented as a raw and rustic rural entertainer. The story follows a young man who gets involved in organised crime under a powerful and ruthless leader. His life takes a different turn when he falls in love and starts questioning the path he has chosen.
The film also has an interesting connection with producer Kandregula Naidu. His love for cinema reportedly played a major role in bringing him into film production. He even recalled how he once could not get tickets to watch Prabhas’ Mirchi in a theatre in Anakapalli. That experience inspired him to eventually own the same theatre. He added that he is a big fan of Prabhas.
Trinadha Rao Nakkina’s involvement has added curiosity around the movie. After delivering several commercial entertainers, audiences are now interested to see what he brings to the film as a writer and producer.
Anakapalli is scheduled to hit theatres on October 2.
