The teaser, released earlier, offered a delightful glimpse into Rohith's character — a witty, middle-aged bachelor navigating the ups and downs of love and life. The light-hearted tone, humorous moments, and emotional depth promise a refreshing cinematic experience.
The release date announcement was made today as a birthday treat to Nara Rohith's fans. The accompanying poster reveals two romantic phases of his character — one featuring Sridevi Vijaykumar, evoking the charm of first love, and the other with Vriti Vaghani, suggesting a mature, possibly second-chance romance. The dual timelines tease a layered narrative filled with emotion, nostalgia, and heartwarming moments.
Musically, the film is already a hit with its first single Bahusa Bahusa, sung soulfully by Sid Sriram, becoming a chartbuster. Leon James has composed the film's soundtrack, while Pradeep M Varma handles cinematography. Rohan Chillale is the editor, and Rajesh Pentakota serves as art director. Sundeep is on board as the executive producer.
With just over a month to go, the team is gearing up to ramp up promotional activities, ensuring Sundarakanda reaches audiences far and wide during the festive season.

The Magical Festival Glow That Turns Mumbai Into a Dreamland
Mumbai, the mesmerizing financial capital of India, is characterized by its speed, continuous skyscrapers, and congested local trains. But behind its proactive facade is a city with deep roots in culture. When major festivals come around, Mumbai experiences an astonishing transformation. Streets come alive with deep passion, neighborhoods join hands in appreciation, and cities are decorated with a spectrum of colors, extravagant lights, and creative masterpieces. The city does not reserve its vibrantly colorful view from Diwali's golden glow to Ganesh Chaturthi's grand processions, instead, it showcases a fantastic sight year round. These events are not just ceremonies, they change how the city is defined. Diwali: The Where Everything is Fast-Paced, Now Glimmering and Radiating in Light The festival of lights, Diwali, turns Mumbai into a glittering wonderland. Around the time of celebration, sites such as Crawford Market, Zaveri Bazaar, and Linking Road resemble megaliths with towers of incense, mounds of sweets, and astonishing glowing lanterns. The shops go head to head with each other using garlands of marigold, sconces, and LED fairy lights to shine brighter than the previously competing shop. Both the ghetto and the high class areas of the city sparkle with illuminated diyas lining the windows, showcasing the victory of luminosity over obscurity. The spectacular light displays decorating Mumbai's famous structures like Gateway of India and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus put the city in a festive mood. Fireworks light up the sky over Marine Drive and families sitting on terraces taking in the view share sweets and laughter. Strangers greet each other and traffic slows down as neighborhoods become centers of glee. The rush of the city is set aside Diwali. The warmth and festive spirit is what one experiences during this time as the city softens a bit. Ganesh Chaturthi: When the City Bows to the Elephant God Celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi is an experience like no other. The city celebrates the festival for ten days and does so by honoring Lord Ganesha, the remover of all obstacles. It is through enormous and artistically designed pandals (temporary shrines) that this city comes alive. Idols made from gold-leaf, fluorescent paint and other eco-friendly materials beautifully capture the modern and traditional aspects of our country. Every locality has its own shrine, the Lalbaugcha Raja is one of the most famous and draws millions of devotees. The visarjan (immersion) procession is the festival's highlight. As millions of people fill the streets to celebrate with dance, music, and chanting 'Ganpati Bappa Morya!', they bring their idols to the sea. Chowpatty Beach and Girgaon turn into oceans of people as the city prepares to say goodbye to their cherished deity. The immersion serves as a representation of the multitasking spirit of Mumbai, meaning the willingness to change while still maintaining possession of one's faith. In the current eco-friendly age, the celebrations have been further enhanced with the introduction of clay idols and artificial ponds to aid in environmental sustainability. Christmas in the Tropics: A Frosty Fantasy While being a minority, Mumbai's Christian population certainly knows how to celebrate the holiday season as they decorate the city in green and red. Bandra is known for being home to iconic churches such as the Mount Mary Basilica, which transform into celebratory centers. Streets are filled with star-shaped lanterns, tinsel-covered Christmas trees, and life-sized Nativity decorations. There are also overflowing bakeries on Hill Road and Byculla with carolers enthusiastically performing in English, Konkani, and Marathi. Malls and business districts in Mumbai get into the spirit by putting out decorations featuring Santa Claus cutouts, fake snow machines, and reindeer displays adorned with glitter. Windows often bear a faux frost while parks like Oval Maidan turn into Christmas carnivals. The joyous inclusivity of the festival brings in people from all religions who come together to celebrate by attending Bandra's Midnight Mass or sharing cakes with neighbors, signifying the secular heart of the city. Eid-ul-Fitr: A Feast Under the Moonlit Sky Celebrating Eid marks the end of Ramadan and gets the Mohammed Ali Road and Bhendi Bazaar in Mumbai's Muslim dominated areas lively. Stalls offering caps, ittar (perfume), and mehndi designs line the streets. These areas are a heaven for food lovers, with sizzling kebabs, syrupy phirnis and flaky malpuas drawing people from all over the city during the night. The minarets of Haji Ali Dargah and Jama Masjid are illuminated with fairy lights which showcase their beauty during the night. Non Muslims indulging in desserts like seviyan (vermicelli pudding) and those shopping for goodies highlight the community spirit of the festival. Even after considering the pluralism of the city, Eid is a stark reminder of the joy that brings people of all backgrounds together. Navratri And Dussehra: Nine Nights of Dance and Drama Garba dances places across parks, clubs, and even parking lots are turned into venues by the Gujarati and the Marwari during Navratri in Mumbai. Women dressed in chaniya cholis and men dressed in kurtas dance elegantly to rhythmic music. In addition, during Dussehra, outdoor spaces are filled with Ram Leela performances and at the end of the highlight of the show where giant effigies of Ravana are set on fire to illuminate the night landscape. Conclusion: A City That Celebrates as One Instead of a migration form of art witnessing abandoned structures, the resurrection of Mumbai will celebrate hope and defiance. These festivals have proven to transcend the boundaries of religion, caste or boundaries of a community. The towns transform into courtyards, commuters change into friends for a festive occasion. The city, illuminated by dazzling lights, emerges out of deep sleep to mark the festivities and celebrates unity in diversity. From this we learn that 'Hero is someone who can reverse the pessimism downpour,' and that, amidst the chaos of Mumbai, it stands steadfast ready to redeem itself.
