After receiving massive critical and commercial success in Tamil as DADA, the emotional drama is ready to touch Telugu hearts with its dubbed version titled PAPA. Releasing on June 13, the film brings a fresh, realistic perspective on single parenting through the eyes of a young father.

Cast That Delivers Emotion
The film stars Kavin in a career-defining role as Manikandan, a carefree young man who unexpectedly becomes a single parent. Aparna Das plays Sindhu, whose choices change Manikandan’s life forever. The performances are natural, with the bond between father and child portrayed beautifully and authentically.
Direction That Speaks to the Heart
Directed by Ganesh K. Babu, PAPA avoids over-dramatization, instead focusing on real, raw emotions. The storytelling is simple yet impactful, making it relatable to youth, parents, and families alike. The Telugu version stays faithful to the original while ensuring it resonates with the regional audience.
Music That Touches the Soul
Jen Martin’s soulful background score elevates the film’s emotional intensity. The music captures moments of joy, sorrow, and silent determination, tying each scene together with warmth and authenticity.
Why PAPA Stands Out
Unlike most mainstream films, PAPA focuses on a father’s emotional journey, a rarity in Indian cinema. It offers a balanced mix of drama, love, responsibility, and hope.
Save the Date – June 13
Presented by Olympia Movies, PAPA is set for release in Telugu across theatres on June 13, 2025. If you’re looking for a movie that offers heart, message, and memorable performances, this is one you can’t afford to miss.
