The cultural drama stars Ashish in the lead and is directed by debutant Aditya Rao Gangasani, with production handled by Dil Raju and Shirish under Sri Venkateswara Creations.
The glimpse launch event itself turned into a spectacle, with more than 500 street drummers performing live and creating an electrifying atmosphere. The event highlighted the essence of Hyderabad’s festive spirit, which is also the core theme of the film. The glimpse offered a powerful introduction to the world of “Ghannu Bhai,” a popular drummer who plays a central role in the story, capturing the energy, pride, and cultural depth of local band artists.

Dil Raju revealed that the idea for Dettadi originated from the director’s personal observations and experiences. He appreciated the effort put in by the team, especially the extensive research done by the director and lead actor. He also thanked the band community of Hyderabad, many of whom participated in the launch event voluntarily, showing their support for a film that represents their lives.
Writer and creative head Prasanna Kumar Bezawada’s signature style is evident in the screenplay and dialogues, while music composer Junaid Kumar elevated the glimpse with energetic drum beats that amplified the festive mood. The visuals appeared colorful and grand, reflecting the scale at which the film is being produced.
