Telugu cinema is all set for another thrilling chapter as acclaimed director Prasanth Varma officially announces the sequel to the 2021 horror-action film Zombie Reddy. Titled Zombie Reddy 2, the movie will see Teja Sajja return in the lead, with production being undertaken by PMF Films.
Known for his genre-defying storytelling and ambitious filmmaking, Prasanth Varma gained critical and commercial success with titles like Awe (2018), Kalki, and the recent pan-India hit Hanu-Man. With Zombie Reddy 2, he revisits the world that earned him massive applause for blending horror, action, and satire in a uniquely Telugu narrative.
“My cinematic influences range from Christopher Nolan to Singeetam Srinivas Rao and K. Viswanath. They’ve shaped my vision, and with every film, I strive to bring something new to the audience,” Prasanth Varma shared in an interview with Idlebrain.com.
The original Zombie Reddy was notable for being the first zombie film in Telugu cinema and opened the doors for genre experimentation in the industry. The sequel will reportedly retain the core cast while exploring a different storyline, promising new thrills and more intense action.
While the filming schedule and exact release date are yet to be revealed, insiders suggest the movie is set for release by the end of this year. It will be shot across multiple locations and aims to push the boundaries of visual storytelling and special effects in Indian horror cinema.
Teja Sajja, who starred in the original and was recently seen in Hanu-Man, expressed his excitement to reunite with Varma, praising his visionary direction and passion for cinema.
Stay tuned as Zombie Reddy 2 gears up to take over the box office, building on the legacy of its predecessor while carving out a new path in horror-action filmmaking.
