The First Glimpse of 'Maya Petika' is out. A thriller starring Paayal Rajput, Rajath Raghav, Viraj Ashwin, and Simrat Kaur, this one is directed by Ramesh Raparthi.

"Even though the palm lines are ours, our lives are controlled by the smartphone," says Rana Daggubati's voiceover in the glimpse, which establishes the mobile phone as the central piece of our lives as well as the film. "We have lost the sense of time. The smartphone is ubiquitous in our lives," the film seems to say.

Involving middle-class families, romantic youngsters as well as terrorists, the thriller is also broad-based.

Produced by Magunta Sarath Chandra Reddy and Tharaknath Bommi Reddy, the film has got comedian Sunil in a key role. The other comedians in the cast are Prudhvi Raj and Srinivas Reddy. Himaja and Shyamla are part of the cast.

With music by Guna Bala Subramanian and cinematography by Suresh Ragutu, the film's art direction is by Purshottam. Edited by D Venkata Prabhu and Nav Cuts, the film will hit the screens soon.
