Mukesh Gupta

Paderu 12 Mile (2025) drops you right into the tangled world of small-town Andhra Pradesh, where secrets don’t stay buried for long and everyone’s got something to lose. Mukesh Gupta takes center stage, playing a guy who’s neither hero nor villain—just a regular dude caught up in a mess way bigger than himself. The story kicks off with a mysterious disappearance near the infamous 12 Mile stretch, a road that’s seen more shady deals and heartbreaks than most can count. Suddenly, the whole village is buzzing with rumors, pointing fingers, and digging up old grudges. Gupta’s character gets pulled into this chaos, not because he wants to be a hero, but because he’s desperate to clear his own name and protect the few people he actually cares about. As the plot unravels, every twist feels like a gut punch. There’s corruption, betrayal, a bit of dark humor, and enough suspense to keep you guessing who’s really pulling the strings. The film doesn’t shy away from the gritty reality of rural life—cops who can’t be trusted, families torn apart by ambition, and the kind of friendships that turn sour when money’s on the line. By the time the credits roll, you’re left wondering who actually won, if anyone did at all. Paderu 12 Mile isn’t your typical whodunit; it’s more like stumbling into a storm and realizing you forgot your umbrella.
