Niharika Konidela is back in the game, and how? She started her career as an actress, transitioned into an OTT host, got married, and later went through a divorce. Now, she has made a solid comeback as a producer with Committee Kurrollu, which turned out to be a smash hit in theatres. Even today, Committee Kurrollu continues to trend on ETV Win, and those who enjoy nostalgic village-based dramas can stream the film online.
Following the success of Committee Kurrollu, Niharika has now locked her second production venture, which is said to be an emotionally driven drama. For this project, she has roped in Manasa Sharma, who made her directorial debut with the hit web series Bench Life. Now, she is all set to make her feature film debut under Niharika's production banner.
Manasa Sharma gained recognition for her storytelling and direction in Bench Life, a series that beautifully depicted the lives of software engineers. The show was well received, earning praise for its engaging narrative and solid performances from Vaibhav Reddy and Akanksha Sharma. With this new opportunity, it will be interesting to see how Manasa transitions from web series to feature films.
On the acting front, Niharika was last seen in a Tamil film, but she has yet to sign a new Telugu project. However, she believes she has a strong role to play as a producer by backing content-driven films. The success of Committee Kurrollu proves her sharp judgment in picking the right stories.
With her latest collaboration with Manasa Sharma, expectations are high. The pre-production work for this low-budget yet promising film is already underway, and more details about the cast and crew will be revealed soon. Stay tuned for more updates on Niharika Konidela’s exciting new project.
