“The Birthday Boy”: A New-Age Buddy Comedy
Buddy comedies are a delight to watch, especially when youthful personalities clash and bond in hilarious ways. These films often shine brightest when the characters interact together rather than individually. “The Birthday Boy,” a Telugu-language buddy comedy set in the US, embraces this dynamic. The film follows the “fish out of water” theme, placing each character in unexpected situations.
Starring Ravi Krishna, Sameer Malla, and Rajeev Kanakala, the film is directed by Whisky and produced by an NRI producer. This modern film promises clean humor and centers around the American Dream. It is scheduled for release later this year.
Physical comedy and humorous consequences are expected to be key highlights of the movie. Notably, the producer has nearly exhausted his savings made in the US to fund this project.
The film, shot with live sound to create an authentic atmosphere, features music by Prashanth Srinivas. Hollywood’s Metin Okutay is responsible for color grading, while Sankirth Raahul serves as the cinematographer and Naresh Adupa as the editor.
