After the Telugu sports drama Jersey, which he also remade in Hindi, director Gowtam Tinnanuri has announced his new film, Magic, a teenage drama scheduled to release this summer in Telugu and Tamil. Billed as a musical, the film brings together Gowtam and composer Anirudh Ravichander yet again. Magic stars four newcomers as the teens who work towards composing an original song for their college festival.
According to a statement from the film’s team, the coming-of-age narrative of the young protagonists composing for their college fest has several nostalgic moments that they are confident viewers will connect with.
Magic has been filmed with cinematographer Girish Gangadharan, production design by Avinash Kolla, editing by Navin Nooli and costume design by Neeraja Kona. Navin had earlier bagged the national award for best editing for Jersey (2019).
Magic is produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya for Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, and is presented by Srikara Studios. The teen musical drama was filmed in Nilgiri Hills amid varying weather conditions including unseasonal rains, plummeting temperatures and fog.
Gowtam Tinnanuri, meanwhile, is also working on a film starring Vijay Deverakonda.
