Ugram presents an enthralling action-drama that revolves around CI Shiva Kumar (Allari Naresh), a determined police officer, who delves into the investigation of a series of missing persons in Warangal.

“As a director, my belief lies in crafting stories that tackle serious issues and be able to weave them in meaningful narratives,” said director Vijay Kanakamedala. “Naresh’s versatility as an actor is truly admirable, and in Ugram, he has delivered a performance that is both fierce and intense. Every element of the film from the carefully chosen production design to the meticulous shot division, was thoughtfully planned prior to the shoot, ensuring an impactful storytelling experience for the audience. We cherish the immense love and support fans showered on the action-drama in theatres, and I am eagerly awaiting the audiences across the globe to watch the film,” he added.
