Varun Tej’s Ghost Just Got a Release Date — And It’s Bringing Korean Flavor to Kollywood

Horror and comedy rarely share the screen this smoothly, but Varun Tej Konidela is betting that his upcoming film can pull it off — with a Korean twist thrown in for good measure. Korean Kanakaraju now has an official release date, and fans are already buzzing.

What’s Ghost About?

Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, Korean Kanakaraju is billed as an Indo-Korean horror comedy — a genre mashup that blends cultural elements from both countries. Varun Tej announced the update himself on social media, sharing a fresh poster along with the caption “Entertainment Guaranteed.”

The film’s title teaser previously hinted at Varun Tej’s character being possessed by a spirit, setting the tone for the horror-comedy blend the makers are promising. Adding to the buzz, the team recently dropped the first single, “Kamsahamnida” — an upbeat romantic track that mixes Korean phrases with a catchy melody, sung by Sid Sriram, composed by Thaman S, and written by Kasarla Shyam.

Why Fans Are Excited

Varun Tej was last seen in Matka, a period drama that underperformed at the box office and drew largely negative reviews. Korean Kanakaraju marks a genre shift for the actor, and its cross-cultural premise — leaning into elements of Korean cinema, one of the most influential film industries globally — gives it a distinctive hook that sets it apart from typical regional horror comedies.

After this release, Varun Tej will move on to Bhari, a sports drama centered on volleyball, expected to be a pan-Indian release.
