Last evening, KM Chaitanya and the team of his next, Abbabba, shared a first look poster, which featured lead cast Likith Shetty, Amrutha Iyengar, as well as Ajay Raj, Thandav and Dhanraj. “ Abbabba ooo Abbabba!!!Unveiling the first look of ‘Abbabba!’ a no holds barred entertainer directed by K M Chaitanya. Starring the cutest duo Likith Shetty & Amrutha Iyengar, and the band of lovable rascals Ajay Raj, Thandav & Dhanraj! Strap in for an insane and fun ride from Friday Film House & Miramar Films. A KRG Connects release,” read the accompanying post, about the film produced by Malayalam actress Ann Augustine.

In her social media post, Ann wrote, “This is a day that I’ve been looking forward to for a long time. The day I get to show you guys a sneak peek into my first feature film as a producer along with my best friend and brother Vijay Babu & Vivek Thomas. Abbabba! - a full on fun filled entertainer! And just like the film the journey that takes me past this milestone has been quite a ride. Tons of unforgettable moments littered with joy, happiness and genuine fun, punctuated with some difficult and hard ones as well. This is for all of you who’ve been by my side through the journey so far, stood by me and steadied me, guided me and supported me no matter what, through it all. My family, my mentors, my dearest friends. This is for my mum, who’s been the rock on which I stand tall. And my dad, who I’m sure is smiling down on me, looking out for me from up there. Thank you all! There’s a whole lot more on the road ahead!”

Chaitanya and the cast have been quite tight-lipped about the subject of the film, but in an earlier interaction with OTTplay, Amrutha had let slip that her second film with Likith was a remake of a Malayalam film. Turns out, Abbabba is the Kannada version of the 2015 Malayalam film Adi Kapyare Kootamani, which had Dhyan Sreenivasan, Neeraj Madhav, Aju Varghese and Namitha Pramod in the lead. A horror comedy, Adi Kapyare Kootamani’s narrative unfolds in a boys’ hostel, and follows a bunch of inmates as they devise ways to smuggle out the heroine, whom they’d managed to bring in, without letting too many in on the fact that a girl is in the premises.
