Telugu premiere of LKG and Jiivi on aha this weekend

100% Telugu platform aha will stream the Telugu version of two critically acclaimed Tamil films LKG and Jiivi (released in 2019) this weekend i.e. June 25. While Jiivi is an action thriller with a riveting premise that'll keep you on your toes, LKG is a witty political comedy throwing light on the ways of modern-day politicians.

Starring Vetri, Karunakaran, Monika Chinnakotla and Rohini in key roles, Jiivi is a story about a streetsmart youngster who decides to steal from his landlady's house after a failed romance. Directed by V.J. Gopinath, the slick thriller earned rave reviews upon release (in Tamil, 2019) with several critics labelling it an intelligent film bolstered by strong writing and an engaging screenplay. 

LKG is a smart political satire, directed by Prabhu, featuring Priya Anand, JK Rithesh, RJ Balaji in the lead. Co-written by the actor RJ Balaji himself, the film holds a mirror to popular practices in politics and addresses issues like red-tapism, systemic corruption in a lighter vein. The story chronicling the rise of LKG, a councillor of a small town who hopes to become the CM of the state leaves you in splits.

The Tamil versions of LKG and Jiivi are streaming on SunNXT and Amazon Prime respectively. aha is bringing together many Telugu dubbed films from multiple languages, the other recent releases being Tovino Thomas' Kala, Fahadh Faasil's Anukoni Athidhi, Karthi's Sulthan among a few.
