Srikakulam Sherlock Holmes is a 2024 Indian Telugu-language comedy thriller film, written and directed by Writer Mohan in his directorial debut. Produced by Vennapusa Ramana Reddy under the banner of Sri Ganapathi Cinemas, the film stars Vennela Kishore in the titular role, alongside Ananya Nagalla, Siya Gautam, Sneha Gupta, Ravi Teja Mahadasyam, Prabhakar, and Muralidhar Goud.

Production

Writer Mohan, known for his collaborations with filmmakers such as E. V. V. Satyanarayana, Posani Krishna Murali, and Jeevitha, ventured into direction with Srikakulam Sherlock Holmes. A native of Guntur, Mohan drew from his familiarity with Srikakulam district, gained during his travels through the district with Jeevitha and Rajasekhar during political campaigns.

The narrative combines a fictional detective storyline with real events surrounding the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Set in 1991, the plot examines the connection between Rajiv Gandhi's visit to Visakhapatnam and his subsequent assassination in Sriperumbudur. Against this historical backdrop, the story explores a series of smaller, interrelated events, presented through the perspective of a fictional detective character.

At the first look launch event, Writer Mohan revealed that the movie centres around three main characters—Sharmilamma, Lokanatham, and Om Prakash—whose names are creatively abbreviated as "Sher," "Lok," and "Home," aligning with the film's title.

Before production commenced, producer Ramana Reddy reportedly shared the story with 70 individuals, who found its twists and developments unpredictable. To ensure the title resonated with rural audiences unfamiliar with Sherlock Holmes, the tagline “Chantabbai Thaluka” (“Care of Chantabbai”) was added.

Vennela Kishore stars as a private detective, assisted by his parents. The character’s parents wanted him to become a police officer, but he chose private investigation instead. Kishore and much of the cast, hailing from Telangana, worked hard to learn the Srikakulam accent.
