Priyadarshi's Idupu Kayitham Completes Workshops and Locks December 2026 Release

Priyadarshi 's much-discussed upcoming film Idupu Kayitham is moving ahead at full speed. After creating a storm on social media over its unique title, the makers have now announced that the film has successfully completed its workshop sessions and is all set to roll cameras. The heartwarming entertainer is officially slated for a December 2026 theatrical release.

Backed by Sukumar Writings and Bunny Vaas Works , the film stars Priyadarshi alongside Naga Durga , a popular Telangana folk singer making her acting debut. The project is presented by Tabitha Sukumar , produced by Bunny Vaas , and directed by Vamsi Reddy Dondapati , with Suresh Bobbili composing the music.

The film has been making headlines ever since its grand launch at Annapurna Studios , where director Lokesh Kanagaraj unveiled the first-look poster while veteran producer Allu Aravind sounded the ceremonial clap. The event also saw the presence of industry names including Dil Raju , Chandoo Mondeti , Venu Udugula , and Meher Ramesh , adding to the excitement around the project.

Interestingly, the title Idupu Kayitham , a Telangana dialect phrase referring to a traditional divorce agreement, sparked an Andhra vs Telangana debate online. Instead of hurting the film, the controversy has turned into free publicity, making it one of the most talked-about upcoming Telugu films. Producer Bunny Vaas has expressed confidence that the film's emotional story will connect with audiences across regions, regardless of the title debate.

Priyadarshi has revealed that he plays Srinivas , while Naga Durga essays Srilatha . The actor says the film is deeply rooted in Telangana culture but carries universal emotions that can resonate with audiences everywhere. With workshops wrapped up and shooting set to begin shortly, the makers promise a soulful entertainer that celebrates relationships, culture, and heartfelt storytelling.
