This surprising genre shift, starring Roshan Meka and Preity Mukundhan, already has fans talking after its Valentine’s Day glimpse. The film promises a fresh, cheerful love story, a brand new treat from Sithara Entertainments.
Action Director’s Rom-Com Twist
Sailesh Kolanu, a director renowned for his blood-filled, raw action films and the blockbuster ‘Hit’ universe, is making a surprising venture into romantic comedy with ‘Emo Emo Idi’. Starring ‘Champion’ hero Roshan Meka and Preity Mukundhan, the film’s special glimpse, released on Valentine’s Day, has already garnered a good response. This intriguing genre shift from Kolanu is being brought to audiences by producer Nagavamsi of Sithara Entertainments. The title ‘Emo Emo Idi’ itself is fresh and immediately evokes cheerful feelings of love, perfectly setting the tone for this brand new love story.
The glimpse opens interestingly with a casual coffee conversation between a mother and son. The son, concerned that his mother feels confined watching Malayalam films alone at home, has brought her out to relax. Their discussion humorously delves into modern relationships, particularly how current generation girls behave in love and the ‘extravagance’ or ’emotional drain’ (humorously referring to honeymoons) associated with post-marriage life. Meanwhile, in the same coffee shop, heroine Preity Mukundhan, of ‘Kannappa’ movie fame, is engrossed in a classic old song from her playlist. As the hero, Abhay (Roshan Meka), is leaving, he catches sight of her and is instantly shown falling in love at first sight, determined to find out who she is. This glimpse was perfectly cut to serve as a treat for Valentine’s Day.
Love Blooms in “Emo Emo Idi”
Roshan Meka, portraying the boy-next-door character Abhay, brings a fresh take on Gen Z love after his role in ‘Champion’, while Preity Mukundhan, as Apoorva, shines in her usual glamorous look. This project marks Director Sailesh Kolanu’s first foray into romantic comedy, a significant departure from his established genre of thrilling investigative thrillers.
Hesham Abdul Wahab is composing the music for this film. Producers Suryadevara Nagavamsi and Sai Soujanya, who delivered a blockbuster success with ‘Anaganaga Oka Raju’ in early 2026, are backing this film under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. Presented by Srikara Studios, ‘Emo Emo Idi‘ is planned for release as a Dussehra gift in 2026, with filming expected to commence soon. Audiences can look forward to this entertaining romantic film from Sailesh Kolanu and the fresh pairing of Roshan and Preity.
Looking Ahead
Sailesh Kolanu’s rom-com entry, backed by blockbuster producers Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four, with Roshan and Preity’s fresh chemistry, creates significant buzz. As a Dussehra 2026 release, ‘Emo Emo Idi’ is perfectly poised to be a heartwarming, festive family entertainer. This one feels like a winner!
