Actress Surbhi has been confirmed as one of the female leads in the upcoming Telugu comedy-fantasy film 'Ramba Oorvasi Menaka', directed by Chandra Mohan Chintada and starring Allari Naresh. The revelation came on Tuesday, 21 July, when the production house Hasya Movies dropped the song promo of #NaaKantiMeedhaKunuke on its social media channels, introducing Surbhi to audiences for the first time in connection with the project.
Song Promo and Cast Reveal
Sharing the promo, Hasya Movies wrote: 'Introducing the graceful @Surbhiactress from #RambaOorvasiMenaka. A heartwarming celebration of love, #NaaKantiMeedhaKunuke song promo is out now. Full lyrical out Tomorrow, 22nd July. IN CINEMAS SEPTEMBER 4th 2026.' The promo marks the first official glimpse of Surbhi's role in what is shaping up to be one of Telugu cinema's more distinctive comedy offerings of the year.
What the Film Promises
Tagged with the intriguing line 'Comedy Goes Cosmic', 'Ramba Oorvasi Menaka' is described by sources close to the production as a fantasy comedy that merges celestial mythology with laugh-out-loud humour. The title itself — drawn from the names of three celebrated Apsaras (celestial nymphs) of Hindu mythology — signals the film's heavenly setting. The first-look poster, released earlier, showed Allari Naresh seated on divine steps, scroll in hand bearing the names Ramba, Oorvasi, and Menaka, with Apsaras hovering in the clouds above him.
This is Naresh's 65th film, and reportedly marks a return to the comedy genre that first established him as one of Telugu cinema's finest entertainers. The film's title was announced on the occasion of Allari Naresh's birthday earlier this year.
Ensemble Cast and Technical Crew
Beyond Surbhi, the film boasts a strong supporting cast including Vennela Kishore, Naresh VK, Srinivas Reddy, and Muralidhar Goud, among others. On the technical front, cinematography is handled by Raam Reddy, with music composed by Chaitan Bharadwaj. Brahma Kadali serves as production designer, and editing is overseen by Chota K Prasad.
Production and Release
The film is jointly produced by Razesh Danda and Nimmakayala Prasad under the Annapurna Studios and Hasya Movies banners. It is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on 4 September 2026. With the full lyrical of #NaaKantiMeedhaKunuke due on 22 July, the promotional campaign is clearly gathering pace ahead of the September release.
Point of View
And 'Ramba Oorvasi Menaka' leans hard into that legacy with a cosmic mythology twist. Surbhi's casting, revealed through a song promo rather than a formal announcement, reflects a growing trend in Telugu film marketing where music launches double as cast reveals to maximise social media traction. The 'Comedy Goes Cosmic' tagline is clever positioning — it differentiates the film from the crowded slapstick space while keeping expectations anchored in entertainment. Whether the fantasy-comedy fusion delivers on its ambitious premise will depend on execution, but the promotional rollout so far has been disciplined.
