Priyadarshi,
who
has
shot
to
fame
by
playing
a
quintessential
friend's
character
in
Vijay
Deverakonda-starrer
'Pelli
Chupulu'
became
the
most
sought-after
comedian
in
the
Telugu
movies
later
on.
He
often
paired
with
actor
Rahul
Ramakrishna
as
they
both
brought
out
remarkable
performances.
However,
Priyadarshi
came
out
of
the
stereotype
of
playing
comedian
roles
and
dabbled
with
roles
that
offered
him
an
opportunity
to
showcase
his
other
side.
'Mallesam,'
a
biographical
movie
is
an
example
of
how
the
actor
can
pull-off
the
film
with
seriousness.
In
the
latest
film
Balagam,
Priyadarshi
played
the
role
of
Sailu,
grandson
of
Komurayya.
He
becomes
the
key
in
solving
familial
problems
between
his
father
and
uncle,
post
the
death
of
Komurayya.
The
movie
has
ample
comedy
and
is
quite
emotional,
according
to
the
reviews.
Owing
to
the
surprising
success
of
Balagam,
the
ecstatic
team
celebrated
the
win
with
a
huge
bash.
In
addition,
the
digital
streaming
rights
of
the
rural
comedy-drama
Balagam
are
secured
by
OTT
giant
Amazon
Prime
Video.
The
date
of
the
premiere
is
yet
to
be
announced,
however.
Balagam
stars
Kavya
Kalyanram,
Venu,
Muralidhar
Goud,
Jayaram,
Roopa,
and
Racha
Ravi
among
others
pin
important
roles.
Dil
Raju's
daughter
and
son-in-law-
Hanshitha
Reddy
and
Harshith
Reddy
produced
the
movie.
Acharya
Venu
cranked
the
camera,
and
music
director
Bheems
Ceciroleo,
who
scored
a
major
success
through
Ravi
Teja's
'Dhamaka',
composed
the
film's
entire
music.
