A romantic clip from Thella Kaagitham surfaced online days before the film’s release, sparking a wave of buzz — and speculation. The scene, featuring Harsh Roshan and Nakshatra in a tender moment, went viral across social media, with fans dissecting every frame. But was it a leak or a calculated move? Director Ramesh Bandreddy shot down the idea of a publicity stunt. 'No reason for the team to deliberately leak such a scene for cheap publicity,' he said, insisting the film was built on genuine effort and emotion. The clip, however, did exactly what a well-timed leak often does: it turned heads. Audiences tuned in not just for the story, but for the mystery behind the moment. Now that the film has released, the director says he’s happy with the response, even if the real story behind the leak remains unconfirmed. What happens next? The film’s performance at the box office will tell whether the buzz translated into bums on seats. And whether the next big Telugu film will try to replicate this accidental hype.
