Shiva Sarvani
Shiva Sarvani? Oh, this guy’s been quietly dropping bangers in the Telugu indie scene, and honestly, if you haven’t checked out his work, you’re seriously missing out. He kicked things off with “Gully Gang” back in 2022—a gritty, raw look at street life that didn’t try to glamorize anything. Instead, you got this honest, almost uncomfortable peek into the chaos, the hustle, and the unspoken rules that run the underbelly of the city. Sarvani’s got this knack for pulling emotion out of the smallest moments—like, you’re just watching a conversation over chai, and suddenly it hits you in the gut.
Then came “Che” in 2023, and that’s when people really started paying attention. The guy just flips genres like it’s no big deal. “Che” is all about rebellion and quietly explosive drama—think long silences, sharp glances, and that tension you get when everyone in the room knows more than they’re letting on. The writing’s tight, the visuals are moody, and Sarvani doesn’t spoon-feed you the plot. You gotta work for it.
Now, everyone’s hyped for “Paderu 12 Mile” dropping in 2025. Word is, it’s going to be something totally fresh—a mix of rural mystery and psychological mind-games. If Sarvani’s past work is anything to go by, expect layered characters, a wild soundtrack, and plenty of those moments where you just sit back and go, “Whoa, did that just happen?” The guy’s got vision, no doubt.
