Big budget Telugu films such as Pushpa - the Rise and RRR created a stir in the box office across the country. The lesser known facet of Telugu cinema is how a few indie-spirited Telugu films have also been endearing the audiences in the last few years. A new indie film that is poised to gain attention in the international circuit is Muthayya, which has been selected for screening at the UK Asian Film Festival. The film will premiere at Rich Mix, London, on May 9.
The first poster of the film was launched by actor Kajal Aggarwal on social media, and it showcases an elderly man staring at a big screen.
