Skip it. The premise of a possessed Rayalaseema youth becoming 'Korean Kanakaraju' sounds like it's swinging for absurdist comedy gold, but without any critical validation or recognizable talent behind it, this feels like a low-budget regional curiosity that's more likely to be confusing than entertaining—even for horror-comedy fans willing to take a chance.

Plot

Follows a Rayalaseema youth named Kanakaraju whose life upends when a vessel from Korea brings a spirit that possesses him, transforming him into Korean Kanakaraju.
