Ugram which was the first collaboration between Allari Naresh and Vijay Kanakamedala after the 2021 hit Naandhi was released in theatres on May 5. Though the film has not done well on the box-office, Naresh’s performance has come in for praise.

Ugram presents an enthralling action-drama that revolves around CI Shiva Kumar (Allari Naresh), a determined police officer, who delves into the investigation of a series of missing persons in Warangal. However, Shiva’s personal life takes a grim turn when his wife, Aparna (Mirnaa Menon), decides to leave him due to his aggressive nature. Tragedy strikes when Shiva, Aparna, and their daughter, Lucky meet with an accident. While Shiva gets injured, both Aparna and Lucky suddenly go missing. Driven by love and desperation, Shiva embarks on an unwavering mission to locate his family, unravelling shocking secrets in the process.

“Ugram is a special project; I got to reunite with director Vijay (Kanakamedala) and portrayed an honest and powerful cop in the film, which is a departure from my usual comic roles. I am confident that this action-packed thriller will captivate fans worldwide, keeping them at the edge of their seats,” said Naresh.

“As a director, my belief lies in crafting stories that tackle serious issues and be able to weave them in meaningful narratives,” said director Vijay Kanakamedala. “Naresh’s versatility as an actor is truly admirable, and in Ugram, he has delivered a performance that is both fierce and intense. Every element of the film – from the carefully chosen production design to the meticulous shot division – was thoughtfully planned prior to the shoot, ensuring an impactful storytelling experience for the audience. We cherish the immense love and support fans showered on the action drama in theatres, and I am eagerly awaiting the audiences across the globe to watch the film.”

Ugram brings the super hit combination of Naresh and Vijay Kanakamedala after Naandhi. Back then, Naandhi got so much of critical acclaim as well as commercial success. The team is confident of repeating the feat. Naresh had interacted with the media on the occasion of the film release.

Naresh says he is so confident about the film. “I am very confident. After watching the movie, audience will talk about each craft separately. Sricharan worked hard for almost two and a half months and made a very new sound. Also Brahma Kadali, editor Sid, Prasad, and Abburi Ravi worked together as a team. After Naandhi, the expectations on the whole team increased. We have worked hard to meet those expectations,” he said.

He says he played three different roles in the film. “I will be seen in a role with three variations. It will be done in a time span of five years. He loves a girl while training as a SI, then gets married and has a daughter. Vijay also increased my weight a bit because I thought men would gain weight after marriage. First I did CI, then SI, and finally I did a role with short hair,” he revealed.

He also said the combination with Vijay Kanakamedala will continue. “We will continue the hashtag #NareshVijay. There will be a third film after we complete our commitments. Vijay understands me and my body language like no other. We already finalized a look for our third film,” he announced.

Naandhi combination – Allari Naresh and Vijay Kanakamedala is back with Ugram releasing on May 4th. Adivi Sesh, Vishwak Sen, Sundeep Kishan, Harish Shankar, and Anil Ravipudi are the Guests for the event.

Speaking at the event, Allari Naresh said, “Ugram is my 60th film. There are many directors, writers and producers in this journey. Thanks to everyone on this occasion. The team that worked in Naandhi almost worked for Ugram. When Vijay and I thought of this film, we thought it should go beyond Naandhi. Vijay, Sid, Abburi Ravi garu, Sricharan along with me worked hard to meet those expectations. Our producers Sahu and Harish did not compromise anywhere”.

“We worked almost sixteen hours a day for 73 days for Ugram. Fight Master Ramakrishna Master, Prudhvi Master Venkat Master designed high intense action sequences. It has six fights. Ugram is a new dimension of me. Intense Naresh will be seen in it. Naandhi was well received. I wish you support this movie ten times more than that. Please watch the movie when it will release on May 5,” the actor added.
