Takshakudu Telugu Movie: A Blind Tribesman and His Dog Embark to Face An Evil Force?
Nitanshi Goyal is playing the lead role in a thriller titled Takshakudu. It will be released in five languages—Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam. A blind tribesman and his loyal dog embark on a dangerous quest to confront the evil force that burned his village to ashes and killed the love of his life on a cursed night.
Telugu cinema gets a fresh, myth-laden entry this year as director Vinod Anantoju returns to Netflix with Takshakudu. Known for the slice‑of‑life romance Middle Class Melodies, Anantoju says the new film is “more than a conventional thriller”—it is a world where childhood folktales, village myths, and a lingering sense of greed intertwine.

The team of Takshakudu shares: “Takshakudu allowed us to step into a world of folklore, fear, and survival and to tell that story with honesty and restraint. Following a blind tribal man through a dark landscape, the film demanded a unified vision and deep collaboration from everyone involved. It has been a challenging and deeply rewarding journey, and we are grateful to Netflix for supporting this ambition and taking it to audiences worldwide. We are thrilled that the film is part of the Next on Netflix 2026 showcase.”
