Ninnu Kori dealt with a married couple who realise their love for each other after inviting the ex-boyfriend of the girl to stay over with them. The Shiva Nirvana film had Aadhi Pinisetty play a pivotal role apart from the lead pair.
Kannan, director of Thalli Pogathey said, “The shooting was a completely different experience for me. Even though Atharvaa and I have recently forayed into the action and thriller genre, I really wanted to get back to my feel-good love story genre, from where I began my career.”
