Presented by renowned producer Dil Raju and produced by Shirish under the prestigious Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, the film is being developed as an emotionally driven story rooted in cultural traditions, devotion and rural life. The release date announcement has added to the anticipation surrounding this distinctive project.

Devi Sri Prasad Makes His Acting Debut as Parshi

Yellamma marks a significant milestone for Devi Sri Prasad, popularly known as DSP, as he steps into the lead role for the first time while also composing the film’s music. Having established himself as one of Telugu cinema’s prominent music composers, his transition to acting has become one of the key talking points surrounding the project.

The makers previously unveiled his first-look poster, introducing him as Parshi. Released on his birthday, the poster presented DSP in a simple, grounded appearance that reflected the character’s rustic setting. His new on-screen avatar generated curiosity among fans eager to see him take on a full-fledged acting role.

Venu Yeldandi Returns with a Culturally Rooted Story

Director Venu Yeldandi earned widespread recognition with Balagam, which received acclaim for its emotional storytelling and exploration of rural family relationships. With Yellamma, he is once again working with a narrative connected to cultural traditions, this time combining devotional elements with rustic action and drama.

The film is expected to place emotional storytelling at the centre of its narrative, with its rural backdrop and cultural themes playing an important role in shaping the cinematic experience.

Yellamma Targets a Pan-Indian Release

The film is currently progressing with its production, with the team working towards the announced theatrical release date. Under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, the project brings together an established production house, a director known for culturally rooted storytelling and a music composer making his acting debut.

Yellamma is scheduled to release worldwide in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada on March 5, 2027.

With Devi Sri Prasad taking on a lead role for the first time and Venu Yeldandi directing a story steeped in rural culture and devotion, Yellamma is shaping up to be an interesting addition to the lineup of Indian films planned for 2027.
