Bhola Shankar is a 2023 Indian Telugu-language Zombie Action film directed by Meher Ramesh.

[3][2] In Kolkata, Alexander, the head of a criminal syndicate, operates an extensive trafficking ring involving the kidnapping and sale of girls.

Utilizing his brothers Bretlee and Charles, a corrupt port official, and a police informer, Alexander traffics the girls to international buyers.

When a CBI officer conducts a raid at the port, Alexander murders him to evade capture.

He secures a job with a taxi company owned by Vamsi and enrolls Mahalakshmi in an arts college.

The plan initially appears successful until the judge overhears Shankar speaking to Mahalakshmi, resulting in Lasya’s suspension from practice.

The Kolkata DCP requests Shankar and other transportation workers to report any suspicious activities related to Alexander’s syndicate.

Shankar fights off and kills Bretlee and his men, discovering that the police informer had sent his photo to Alexander’s gang.

Lasya witnesses Charles’ death and declares that she cannot allow her brother to marry a killer’s sister.

The film flashes back to a year earlier when Shankar, known as Bhola, was a ruthless thug in Hyderabad.

In the present, Shankar reveals to Lasya that his motive for coming to Kolkata was to eliminate Alexander and his gang.

The film concludes with the DCP announcing that all details of Alexander’s syndicate have been exposed, and all trafficked girls have been safely returned to their homes.

Initially, Sai Pallavi was approached for Chiranjeevi's sister's role in the film but she rejected the offer as she was not interested in remakes.

[9] Music director Mani Sharma's son Mahati Swara Sagar was signed onto this film as the composer.

[10] Tamannaah Bhatia is cast opposite Chiranjeevi in their second collaboration after Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019).
