The slate also includes genre-bending and experimental titles such as Funky, starring Vishwak Sen and Kayadu Lohar and directed by Anudeep KV, and Champion, featuring Roshan Meka under the direction of Pradeep Advaitham. Malayalam superstar Dulquer Salmaan headlines Aakasamlo Oka Tara, directed by Pavan Sadineni, adding cross-industry appeal.

Further expanding its diverse lineup, Netflix announced Don’t Trouble The Trouble, starring Fahadh Faasil and directed by Shashank Yeleti, along with 418, Raakaasa, and an untitled project Production No. 37, directed by Kalyan Shankar.
