ARI (My Name is Nobody) is touted to be a mind-bending psycho-mythological thriller for a reason. Director Jayashankarr has as the male lead someone who is better than, well, God. And he is ostensibly playing a mind game with six different individuals who are consumed with lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride, and jealousy. You get the drift now!
Anasuya Bharadwaj plays a young woman who wants her beauty to stay with her forever. Sai Kumar plays a wealthy bloke who wants his affluence to be enjoyed by his descendants for eternity. Viva Harsha plays a lustful creep who wants to make out with his ex, now someone else's wife. Then there are Subhalekha Sudhakar and Srikanth Iyengar, whose characters complete the laundry list. The characters converge in a spacious library at a University campus. The surreal tale is rounded off by a Lord Krishna allegory.
Starring Vinod Varma in a leading role, the film co-stars Surabhi Prabhavathi, Chammak Chandra, Akshaya Shetty, Ridhima Pandit and several others. Presented by RV Reddy, Ari is produced by Srinivas Ramireddy, Seshu Maramreddy, Thimmappa Naidu Purimetla, and Beeram Sudhakar Reddy.
Shiva Shankar Vara Prasad and G Shiva Kumar are the cinematographers. Edited by G Avinash, the film's music is done by Anup Rubens. Production Design is by Rajeev Nair.
Ari will be released in theatres on October 10 through Asian Suresh Distribution company.
