The teaser of Ghatikachalam was released by the makers on Monday and it promises a chilling psychological thriller with an intense performance from leading man Nikhil Devadula.
The 1.25-minute teaser introduces Nikhil as a loner who is pursuing MBBS. His father (played by TV actor Prabhakar) is proud of the fact that his son doesn’t do partying, visits cinemas or goes on trips unlike other boys of his age. Nikhil is in love with a fellow classmate but it seems he doesn’t muster the courage to propose to her; he is content seeing her from a distance and feeling happy. Things take a turn out of nowhere; there is someone else in Nikhil who is dominating, dangerous and violent. And he soon starts playing with Nikhil’s life, wreaking havoc. Nikhil’s parents are worried that someone has cast a black magic on their son. What next?
Overall, the teaser offers a tantalizing glimpse of the narrative, hinting at the challenges and obstacles that Nikhil goes through in order to become a normal self again. Every frame is visually arresting and immersive enough to keep the audiences on the edge of their seats. The teaser effectively builds anticipation for the film’s major conflict, leaving viewers eager to uncover the mysteries that lie ahead. The background score by Favio G Cuccurullo enhances the scary appeal a notch higher.
Directed by Amar Kamepalli from a story by MC Raju, who also serves as the producer, Ghatikachalam will be distributed by familiar names Maruthi and SKN all over.
