Four stories, four dimensions

Debut director Supreeth C Krishna’s Telugu film ‘Alanti Sitralu’ is a hyperlink drama hinged on the idea that change is constant

Telugu feature film Alanti Sitralu, which will premiere on Zee5 on September 24, is a hyperlinked drama following the journeys of four characters and marks the directorial debut of Supreeth C Krishna. The film stars Swetha Parashar, Yash Puri, Ajay Kathurvar and Prawin Yendamuri.

“Alanti Sitralu looks at how things take a dramatic turn when four people, with different needs in life, cross paths,” says Supreeth. A singer-guitarist who is yet to find a direction in his career, meets a sex worker who yearns to lead a normal life. She falls in love with an erstwhile gangster who wants to redeem himself for his daughter’s sake, after having lost his wife. The fourth character is an amateur boxer battling psychological issues.

The story took shape when Supreeth began to build on the idea that change is constant: “I began writing individual character arcs and stories. When they cross paths, their lives go through a change.”
