Producer Naga Vamsi and actor Ravi Teja have recently released a promotional video for their upcoming film, Mass Jathara, which is set to be released in theatres on October 31, 2025. During the promotional video launch, the talk highlighted the massive success of Kalyani Priyadarshan and Naslen’s Malayalam superhero film, Lokah Chapter 1: – Chandra, and claimed that the film wouldn’t have been as successful if it were a straight Telugu film. The producer discussed how the Telugu audience responds to non-Telugu films compared to those made in their own language.
Why do Naga Vamsi and Ravi Teja believe the audience wouldn’t accept Lokah if it were a Telugu film?
Naga, who is a producer, shared his opinion about the Telugu film industry. When he was questioned whether he thinks that the Telugu film industry is unable to make content-driven films like those in Malayalam or Tamil, he said:
“Let me tell you something, I released Lokah in Telugu. I know people will cuss me out for this. But if Lokah were a straight Telugu film, they would complain and pick it apart, say that it lacks a certain quality or something else. I would have changed my name if that hadn’t happened.”
