Srikakulam Sherlock Holmes is a 2024 Indian Telugu-language comedy thriller film, written and directed by Writer Mohan in his directorial debut.
[1] 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.
Amid public and media pressure, CI Bhaskar challenges a journalist, vowing to apprehend the murderer within a week or resign from his position.
His investigation identifies seven suspects: Balu, a telephone booth operator; Bhrama, an employee at a home for disabled children; a suspended police officer; a woman named Jhansi; and three fishermen.
[8] 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.
This tagline served as a nod to Chiranjeevi’s 1986 detective comedy Chantabbai while “Thaluka” referenced Pawan Kalyan’s association with the Pithapuram constituency.
[7] The music of Srikakulam Sherlock Holmes is composed by Sunil Kashyap and Gyanni, with lyrics written by Ramajogayya Sastry, Purnachary and Kasarla Shyam.
