Context
Why does this story matter?
Actor-director Ravindran, who made his directorial debut with the Telugu film Chi La Sow (2018), is making a comeback with The Girlfriend.
Despite mixed reviews and box office disappointment for his subsequent film Manmadhudu 2 (2019), Ravindran is returning to the director's chair after a four-year hiatus.
Notably, there's still a great deal of expectation from Ravindran as his Chi La Sow won the National Award for Best Original Screenplay.
Previous glimpse
First peek at 'The Girlfriend' suggested a sinister twist
A promo video for the film was released last year, featuring Mandanna underwater, her smile transitioning into a sad expression as the voiceover speaks about her seemingly "toxic" relationship.
The man in the background says in Telugu, "I love her so much that she doesn't need friends or family or anyone else... I am all she needs. To have a girl I can call mine...is a different kind of high."
