Sundar falls for Leela Thomas, a Christian played by Nazriya Nazim. Both their families are keen about getting their son/daughter married to someone who belongs to their caste and religion. However, that doesn’t summarize the main conflict of the movie.

The film is expected to have a simultaneous release in Tamil and Malayalam as “Adade Sundara” and “Aha Sundara” on 10th of June. Nani was looking promising throughout the teaser by uttering his trademark dialogues and Nazriya who is appearing through a film after a long time, impressed fans with her cute expressions and dialogue deliveries.

Here’s the teaser of the film :

In the meantime, Nazriya faced an embarassment during the press interaction ahead of the film’s teaser launch. A reporter asked the actress that she is a Muslim by birth and what she had to go through to do the role of a Christian.

“Being as a Muslim woman, you acted as a Christian Leela Thomas in the film who is a wife of a Hindu guy. What difficulties you faced to choose the script? At which point you selected this character?” the reporter asked.

Without a second thought, Nazriya immediately replied “I just loved the script, the minute Vivek narrated it to me. There was spark and I didn’t do anything specific to play the role of Leela Thomas. I just understood Leela Thomas and did it”
