The six vices called Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Mada, Moha and Matsarya are defined in Hinduism as the six biggest negative characteristics of humans. One must rise above them to lead a Dharmic life. 'ARI', an upcoming Telugu movie, bases its outlook on this philosophical belief. We see images of Lord Krishna juxtaposed with the play of Maya.

Its trailer, which was released today, shows multiple characters calling on a seemingly pious personality at a sprawling library. He listens to their secret desires that represent each of the vices. Sai Kumar, Subhalekha Sudhakar (pride in his community), Anasuya Bharadwaj (desire to look better than her competitor), Srikanth Iyengar, Viva Harsha (consumed by lust and an itch for a one-night-stand with a celebrity) and Surabhi Prabhavathi are then advised, shockingly, to double down on their vices.

Also starring Vinod Varma, the film is written and directed by Jayashankarr. Presented by RV Reddy, the film is produced by Srinivas Ramireddy and Seshu Maramreddy. Anup Rubens sets the songs to tune.
