“For some, drinking alcohol is normal, for others it is a poison, for your son, it is a necessity,” says a doctor at the start of the trailer of 90ML, thus setting up the premise for the film.
From the trailer, we gather that Kartikeya’s character has a condition wherein he is required to drink alcohol three times a day as prescribed by a doctor, without which he will die. While this storyline is definitely a liberal stretch of artistic license, it does set the stage for a lot of comedy and conflict.
It is evident from the trailer that Kartikeya finds himself in a situation where he cannot drink alcohol openly. He goes to a village where there is no alcohol allowed and there are no shops which sell liquor to win over a woman he's in love with and whose family is strictly against alcohol.
The film stars Kartikeya Gummakonda with Neha Solanki playing the female lead opposite him. Ravikishan, Rao Ramesh, Ali, Posani Krishana Murali, Pragathi,and Thagubothu Ramesh will all be seen in important supporting roles in the film.
90ML will be hitting the screens on December 5.
It is directed by Sekhar Reddy Yerra and produced by Ashok Reddy Gummakonda under the banner of Kartikeya Creative Works. Anup Rubens has handled the tunes for the film, with Chandrabose penning the lyrics. Cinematography has been done by J Yuvaraj with S R Sekkhar doing the editing.
Kartikeya was earlier seen in RX 100 opposite Payal Rajput. The film was written and directed by Ajay Bhupathi and produced by Ashok Reddy Gumakonda. Upon its release, it was met with positive reviews from critics and audiences both. It will reportedly be remade in Hindi with Bollywood actor Tara Sutaria who made her debut with Student of the Year 2 alongside Tiger Shroff and Ananya Pandey.
