Color Photo was a low-budget film that not many knew about. The film featured all new faces, with Suhas, a small-time YouTuber, playing the main lead. Many eyebrows were raised when Suhas was announced as the hero due to his unconventional looks.
However, the producer, Sai Rajesh, went ahead with the casting and gave another YouTuber, Sandeep Raj, the responsibility of directing the film. The romantic drama was set to hit the screens in a big way, but the COVID-19 wave struck the nation, leaving the makers on the backfoot.
This was also the time when OTT platforms were being launched one after the other. Aha, a newly launched OTT platform, paid big bucks to the makers of Color Photo and released the film online. With everyone staying home, the movie gained a lot of hype.
Thanks to positive reviews, Color Photo became a sensation and was the first film to clock the coveted 100 million streaming minutes in Telugu. Until then, no other popular film had a direct OTT release, making Color Photo a trendsetter in the Telugu OTT market.
Color Photo is about a village boy falling for a rich, independent, and beautiful girl. Sunil played the main villain in this film, which won the hearts of many and launched Suhas as a promising actor. Color Photo completed four years today, and Suhas is now a rising star in Telugu cinema.
Chandini Chowdary, the female lead, also won the hearts of many with her emotional performance and is doing great. Things reached new heights when Color Photo won the National Award for Best Film, leaving the team in a state of euphoria.
Sandeep Raj, the director, is currently working on his second film, while Sai Rajesh is busy with his new project, which is under production. For those who missed Color Photo and are fans of dark and realistic romantic dramas, you can catch the film on Aha, and you won’t be disappointed one bit.
