Aha has started streaming its new Original, titled Hometown. Set in Karimnagar in the backdrop of a middle-class household, this one features Prajwal Yadma as Srikanth, an aspiring filmmaker. Rajeev Kanakala plays his father, while Jhansi is his supportive mother. Also featuring Sairam, Anirudh, Annie, and Sravya, this one is a must-watch series.
Directed by Srikanth Reddy Palle, Hometown is a coming-of-age narrative told through Srikanth's filmmaking lens. "It evokes nostalgia by portraying his formative years, filled with youthful exuberance, first romances, and deep friendships," an online review states.
The series, with a compelling final episode, captures the essence of small-town life, where community bonds are strong and memories are etched into every corner. It explores the universal themes of childhood innocence and the bittersweet journey towards adulthood, aiming to resonate with viewers by recalling the simplicity and warmth of past experiences.
Produced by Naveen Medaram Productions (MNOP), Hometown has been made with the aim of bringing nostalgic experience to the viewer.
Here is what Hometown is about: In a quirky setting nestled in Telangana’s nooks, Prasad (Rajiv Kanakala) reigns over a snazzy little photo shack. He is a middle-of-the-road fella. To catapult his son, Srikanth (Prajwal Yadma), across the seas for some fancy-pants higher learnin’, hoping it will plop him into a cushy, successful life. Trouble is, Srikanth’s brain seems allergic to books—his grades have been a flop-a-thon from schoolyard to college quad. Meanwhile, his little sis Jyoti (Annie) is a study-whiz, zipping through her books like a champ. To toss more bananas into the blender, Srikanth can’t even snag that B.Tech scroll. Will Papa Prasad’s overseas odyssey for his boy sprout wings, or will fate do a funky jig in another direction?
