Krithi Shetty gets a traditional makeover in the first look of January 12 Vidudala, joining Victory Venkatesh and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in director Anil Ravipudi’s upcoming Sankranthi release.
Krithi Shetty has a distinctly traditional appearance in the newly unveiled first look of January 12 Vidudala. The makers released the actress’s character poster on her birthday, offering audiences a glimpse of her role in the upcoming Telugu film.
In the poster, Shetty appears in a graceful half-saree, with an ancient-looking architectural structure providing the backdrop. Her warm smile gives the first look a pleasant and festive quality, while the traditional styling marks a different visual presentation for the actress.
The first look has also added another layer of anticipation around the film, which brings together Victory Venkatesh and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in the lead roles.
Krithi Shetty embraces a traditional look
The newly released poster places Krithi Shetty in a classic half-saree, giving her character a distinctly traditional appearance.
The period-style structure visible behind her complements the styling and contributes to the visual atmosphere of the poster. Rather than relying on elaborate action imagery, the first look focuses on the actress’s character presentation and her expressive smile.
The makers chose her birthday to introduce the look, making the announcement a celebratory update for fans of the actress and the film.
Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram lead the cast
January 12 Vidudala features Victory Venkatesh and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram in the lead roles.
Director Anil Ravipudi is at the helm of the project. The film had previously generated attention with the first looks of its two male leads, followed by the release of its title-reveal video.
The project also features Keerthy Suresh as another female lead.
What does the title and tagline reveal?
The film carries the tagline “Bava Bammardi Soujanyamtho”, adding a family-oriented flavour to its promotional identity.
The title January 12 Vidudala directly points to the film’s planned theatrical release date, with the makers positioning the project as a major Sankranthi entertainer.
With the festival season traditionally providing an important theatrical window for Telugu cinema, the film’s January release places it among the titles being lined up for the Sankranthi period.
Sahu Garapati backs the project
The film is being produced by Sahu Garapati under the Shine Screens banner.
Suresh Productions, Smt. Archana and Zee Studios are presenting the project.
The combination of established names in the cast, Anil Ravipudi’s direction and the film’s Sankranthi release window has made the project one of the upcoming Telugu releases being closely followed by audiences.
January 12 Vidudala release date
As indicated by its title and the makers’ announcement, January 12 Vidudala is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on January 12.
The latest Krithi Shetty first look gives audiences another glimpse into the film’s visual world while expanding the promotional campaign ahead of its theatrical release.
With Venkatesh, Kalyan Ram, Krithi Shetty and Keerthy Suresh forming the principal cast, the film is set to bring a prominent ensemble to the Sankranthi season.
