Allari Naresh's latest film is billed as a rustic character-driven drama set to revamp his image of a comical actor
ADITYA DEVULAPALLY

LLARI Naresh, known for his impeccable comic roles, is gearing up for the release of his latest film, Bachhala Malli. Directed by Subbu Mangadevvi, who previously helmed Solo Brathuke So Better, Bachhala Malli has grabbed eyeballs for presenting Naresh in a fresh manner.

Speaking about the film, Allari Naresh expressed his excitement, saying, "This is one of the most extraordinary stories I've come across. I gave my nod to Subbu in a single sitting. My character in Bachhala Malli has the most number of variations compared to all my previous roles. There's an interesting trivia to this film - Bachhala Malli is a real person from the director's village. One day he came to the set and I met him. Subbu told me that he saw the man instigating fights and beating up people. He wrote those attributes into our character. We drew inspiration from this man."
