Hyderabad, June 11, 2025 — The trailer launch of Nithiin’s much-anticipated Telugu film Thammudu drew significant attention today — not just for its gripping visuals, but also for the emotional undercurrents at the event. Fans were quick to notice Nithiin’s unusually low-key demeanor, sparking conversations across social media. Meanwhile, producer Dil Raju shared a heartfelt behind-the-scenes story that highlighted Nithiin’s commitment to the film.
A Quiet Nithiin Raises Eyebrows
Known for his spirited public appearances, Nithiin appeared notably reserved during the media interaction. Despite speaking earnestly about the film’s emotional depth and his role as a professional archer, his subdued energy didn’t go unnoticed.
Fans on X (formerly Twitter) shared their concerns. One user commented, “Nithiin looked dull throughout the #Thammudu media interaction today.” Many interpreted his mood as reflective of the pressure he faces to bounce back after recent setbacks, particularly the underperformance of Robinhood.
Dil Raju’s Candid Moment Steals the Spotlight
Producer Dil Raju took a moment to share a touching detail that shed light on the dedication of the team. Both Nithiin and director Venu Sriram reportedly forwent their standard remuneration for the project.
“Nithiin told me, ‘Give me what I deserve and as much as you can, sir,’”
Dil Raju revealed.
“In my 22 years in the industry, I’ve never experienced this before.”
The revelation received applause and admiration, reinforcing Nithiin’s deep belief in the project as a possible turning point in his career.
About Thammudu: A High-Stakes Comeback
Directed by Venu Sriram (Vakeel Saab), Thammudu is an emotional action drama centered on the bond between a brother and sister — played by Nithiin and veteran actress Laya, respectively. The film also marks the Telugu debut of Sapthami Gowda (Kantara), and features Varsha Bollamma, Swasika, and Saurabh Sachdeva in key roles.
Produced by Sri Venkateswara Creations (Dil Raju and Shirish), Thammudu is slated for a theatrical release on July 4, 2025.
Trailer Garners Positive Buzz
Released at 5 PM today, the trailer received immediate praise for its stylized action sequences, visually striking forest backdrops, and Ajaneesh Loknath’s intense background score. The tribal-themed setting gives the film a raw edge while blending commercial appeal with emotionally resonant storytelling.
Why This Film Matters
For Nithiin, Thammudu could be the career revival fans have been waiting for — a chance to return to the highs of hits like A Aa and Bheeshma. The trailer’s warm reception and Prime Video’s acquisition of the digital rights for a considerable amount have fueled optimism in both the trade circles and fan communities.
Fans Stand By Their Star
Despite his muted presence, support for Nithiin is growing online. The hashtag #ThammuduOnJuly4th has begun trending, with fans praising the trailer. One user posted: “VERYGOOD TRAILER. Looks like a STRONG comeback for Nithiin!”
As Thammudu nears its theatrical debut, anticipation is rising. Can this emotional action saga provide Nithiin with the breakthrough he needs? Both the industry and his loyal fans are watching — and hoping — with fingers crossed.
