Sudheer Babu turns a cop for debutant Mahesh’s action thriller Hunt; here’s all you need to know

Sudheer Babu is probably in the most active phase of his career, signing, wrapping up multiple projects and awaiting their releases. The actor, who’ll be seen next in Mohana Krishna Indraganti’s Aa Ammayi Gurinchi Meeku Cheppali, is turning a cop yet again after V. He has joined hands with a first-time filmmaker Mahesh for an action thriller titled Hunt. The first look and motion poster were launched on Sunday.

Hunt is bankrolled by V Anand Prasad under Bhavya Creations and will have high-voltage action sequences, the makers say. The film’s ensemble star cast comprises Mime Gopi, Kabir Duhan Singh, Mounika Reddy, Goparaju Ramana, Manjula, Chitra Shukla, Supoorna Malkar, Sanjay Swaroop, Ravi Varma, Gemini Suresh, Abhijit Poondla, Kotesh Mannava and Satya Krishnan to name a few.

Arul Vincent is on board as a cinematographer while the film is edited by Prawin Pudi. Noted musician Ghibran, who recently confirmed his collaboration with actor Rajashekar for Monster, has come up with the songs and the background score. Wing Chun Anji choreographs the action sequences in collaboration with Renoud Favero. Vivek Annaamalai is the art director.

Expressing his happiness about the project, V Anand Prasad, in a media statement, said that Srikanth and Bharath will play Sudheer’s on-screen counterparts in the film. “It’s a stylish thriller that’ll be in total contrast to previous works of Sudheer Babu. The action sequences in the film will be a major highlight. The story revolves around the cops’ search for a notorious criminal,” he added.

The filming of Hunt has been completed already and the post-production formalities are progressing quickly. The makers plan to amp up the promotional campaign around the film soon and reveal new updates. Sudheer Babu is also working with writer, actor-turned filmmaker Harshavardhan for his directorial debut Maya Mascheendra, a Hindi-Telugu bilingual produced under Sree Venkateswara Cinemas.
