The teaser of the upcoming Telugu film “Chai Wala,” starring Shiva Kandukuri, was launched on Wednesday. Produced by Radha Vijayalakshmi and Venkat R. Papudippu under Harshika Productions, the film is written and directed by Pramod Harsha. The teaser opened with Rajeev Kanakala’s impactful dialogue, followed by an emotional line from Shiva Kandukuri, setting the tone for a story that blends family drama, romance, and youthful themes.

Producer Raj Kandukuri said the film is built on emotions that connect with all audiences. “Films that stay with people after leaving the theater are successful, and ‘Chai Wala’ will do that. Rajeev Kanakala has delivered a brilliant performance, Shiva has a strong role, and Teju Ashwini has a bright future. Director Pramod Harsha has shaped a meaningful story,” he said.

Shiva Kandukuri shared that the story instantly connected with him. “This film made me bond deeply with my team. After watching it, people will want to talk to their fathers. I learned a lot working with Rajeev Kanakala, and acting with Teju was a joy. Our producer Venkat’s passion inspired us daily,” he added.

Director Pramod Harsha said the title “Chai Wala” emerged naturally from the story. “The events in the film are close to real life, and I wanted Shiva for the role because of his sensitivity and charm,” he said.

Producer Venkat Papudippu remarked that making a film is a real lesson. “Even watching a few scenes moved me to tears. This love story is crafted to touch everyone,” he noted.

Lead actress Teju Ashwini, making her Telugu debut, said working with Rajeev Kanakala and Shiva was memorable. “Kranti’s visuals made the film beautiful, and Raj Kandukuri encouraged us throughout,” she said.

Rajeev Kanakala praised the uncompromising production values and called the film both entertaining and emotional. Actor Raj Kumar Kasireddy added that the film will resonate with all audiences through its heartfelt storytelling.

“Chai Wala” is expected to release soon in theaters.
