Debut writer-director Hasith Goli is winning appreciation for the Telugu crime comedy-drama Raja Raja Chora, which released on August 19. The film starring Sree Vishnu, Sunaina and Megha Akash narrates the story of a small-time thief whose life takes an unexpected turn when he tries to pull off a theft while wearing a crown that supposedly changes fortunes. The story follows the protagonist, his family and others who cross his path, exploring aspects of survival in the city, crime, punishment and redemption. “We were confident that people would like our film, but the response has turned out to be overwhelming,” says Hasith. For the 29-year-old, this warm reception is an affirmation of his decision to shift from a corporate career to filmmaking four years ago.
