Riding high on that success, Niharika is now back with her next production venture, Raakaasaa, a horror comedy that promises laughter along with spooky thrills.
Raakaasaa features Sangeet Shobhan in the lead role, and the makers recently unveiled the teaser, which has already caught the audience’s attention. The teaser introduces Sangeet as a man with mysterious powers who finds himself constantly entangled with evil spirits.
In a humorous sequence, he is seen getting trapped in a net, setting the tone for a comedy-driven narrative. Known for his impeccable comic timing, Sangeet Shobhan appears to be perfectly cast, and the way his character has been designed adds to the film’s entertainment value.
The film is directed by Manasa Sharma, who made her directorial debut with the popular OTT show Bench Life. With Raakaasaa, she sets up the humor on an engaging note, blending horror elements seamlessly with comedy.
Although the teaser gives away a few plot hints, it is clear that the film aims to be a full-fledged horror comedy packed with hilarious moments. Music and background score for the film are composed by Anudeep Dev, who earlier delivered hit music for Committee Kurrollu. His background score in the teaser stands out and adds significantly to the spooky yet fun atmosphere.
Staying true to her vision, Niharika Konidela continues her focus on content-driven cinema made on controlled budgets, and Raakaasaa is no exception.
Apart from backing the project, reports suggest that Niharika Konidela will also be seen in an important role in the film, further increasing curiosity. Sangeet Shobhan was last seen in MAD 2, which turned out to be a major box-office success, adding to the hype surrounding this project.
Raakaasaa is scheduled to hit the screens in the summer of 2026. The makers are expected to announce the official release date soon at a grand event in Hyderabad. For now, the teaser has successfully generated excitement and promises an entertaining horror-comedy experience.
