The makers of director Merlapaka Gandhi's highly anticipated horror comedy film 'Korean Kanakaraju', starring Varun Tej in the lead role, released a behind-the-scenes video of the immensely popular single 'Kamsahamnida' on Friday, much to the joy of fans and film enthusiasts.
Behind the Scenes Video Released
The producers of the film shared the link to the BTS video on their social media timelines, accompanied by a caption that read, 'Behind every crazy vibe song... there's an even crazier making! Here's the BTS of #KoreanKanakaraju first single #Kamsahamnida.'
About the Song 'Kamsahamnida'
The song, with music composed by Thaman, was originally released on April 11 this year. It begins with Ritika Naik playfully uttering 'Kamsahamnida', which prompts Varun Tej to curiously ask its meaning. Her reply, 'Thank you' in Korean, serves as a warm introduction to the romantic chemistry between them.
The track features an airy and lively vibe, blending soft Korean influences with catchy mainstream elements. Kasarla Shyam's lyrics capture the innocence of new love, while Sid Sriram's mellow yet expressive vocals enhance the emotion beautifully. Yash Master adds visual appeal with choreography that matches the song's cheerful tone. Sporting a rugged look, Varun Tej's screen presence is vibrant and effortless, and his pairing with Ritika appears bright, lively, and refreshingly new. Their moments together, set against Thaman's spirited beats, give the single an instant-repeat quality.
Filming Progress and Release Date
With shooting nearly complete, the team is expected to announce the release date soon. It may be recalled that the makers had previously announced the commencement of the film's final shooting schedule in Korea last month. Sources close to the unit informed IANS that the team carefully planned a crucial one-week schedule in Korea, during which they filmed songs along with key scenes. The schedule featured Varun Tej, Ritika Nayak, and Satya, with sequences shot in vibrant Korean locations.
Film Overview
Mounted on a lavish budget, 'Korean Kanakaraju' blends horror and comedy with a refreshing cross-cultural twist, set against both Indian and Korean backdrops. Sources claim that Varun Tej will be seen in a completely new avatar, unlike any character he has played before.
The film had already generated strong buzz with the title glimpse released on Varun Tej's birthday. The title glimpse opens with a photographer from India being tortured by policemen in Korea, who demand the location of a person named Kanakaraju. Initially struggling to understand the language, the photographer is aided by an interpreter (Ritika Nayak). When he claims not to know Kanakaraju's whereabouts, a possessed Kanakaraju (Varun Tej) walks into the station on a full moon night and hacks the Korean cops to death with a Samurai sword. He laughs eerily and says 'I'm back' in Korean, prompting the photographer to remark, 'This Kanakaraju isn't our Kanakaraju...'
