'Mithai', touted to be a dark and surreal comedy, is directed by debutant Prashant Kumar. Its ideological (?!) teaser, released today, features Rahul Ramakrishna (of 'Arjun Reddy' fame) delivering a long monologue.  The self-proclaimed comrade is righteously furious against the trap laid by the capitalist system.  Fittingly, 'Are you a corporate slave?' is asked in the end.

"Mithai's Dude abides but he must help two losers find the thief in a twisted plot of love and fate," the makers say, keeping us guessing about the plot.

The film belongs to a rare genre.  Priyadarshi, Kamal Kamaraju, Ravi Varma, Swetha Varma, Bushan Kalyan (who was seen as the college dean in 'Arjun Reddy'), Ajay Ghosh, Vijay Marur and others are also part of the cast.

Music is by Vivek Sagar.  The cinematography is by Ravi Varman Neelamegam.  Editing is by Garry BH.  The choreography is by Anee.  It's produced by Dr. Prabhat Kumar.
