Anakapalli is a 2026 Telugu rustic love story directed by Khagesh Tammineni, with story and screenplay by Nakkina Thrinadha Rao, who also produced it with Kandregula Naidu under the Bhavya Sri Movie Makers and Nakkina Narratives banners. Vikram Sahidev and Sandhya Vasishta play the leads and Tarak Ponnappa the antagonist. It opened in theatres on 2 October 2026.

What the story is about

Set in the town of Anakapalli, the film follows a young man from an ordinary middle-class family, the son of a government employee, who wants an identity of his own in the town and is drawn to the example of a local rowdy, according to the Telugu Film Producers Council’s review. Thrinadha Rao has described it as a feel-good love story with a strong family drama, his first in that genre since Mem Vayasuku Vacham, and said the twist at the interval and the climax would surprise audiences.
