Singer SP Charan, son of the late legendary singer SP Balasubrahmanyam, is making a long-awaited comeback with the film Love Your Father (LYF). Love Your Father is releasing on April 4, 2025 on big screens. Directed by Pawan Ketharaju and produced by Kishore Rathi, Mahesh Rathi, and Ramaswamy Reddy under the banners of Manisha Arts and Annapareddy Studios, the film features a stellar cast, including SP Charan, Sriharsha, Kashika Kapoor, Praveen, Bhadram, Raghubabu, Shakalaka Shankar, and Riya. Acclaimed music director Mani Sharma has composed the film’s soundtrack.
The pre-release event for Love Your Father was held in grand fashion, with BRS MLA Malla Reddy attending as the chief guest.
Hero Sriharsha's Speech
Expressing his gratitude, Sriharsha first thanked chief guest Malla Reddy. He humorously remarked that if Malla Reddy had acted in the film, it would have been a pan-world release; since he didn’t, it remains a pan-India film. Sriharsha also expressed deep appreciation for his father, Ramaswamy Reddy, the film’s producer, and lauded director Pawan Ketharaju for his exceptional work. He acknowledged the privilege of having Mani Sharma compose music for the project and fondly recalled working with SP Charan and actor Praveen. He urged the audience to support the film and bless its journey.

MLA Malla Reddy began by greeting the audience and expressing surprise at the film’s multilingual release. He praised Sriharsha, jokingly comparing him to Tamil superstar Vijay. He also complimented lead actress Kashika Kapoor’s performance. The MLA proudly mentioned that Sriharsha was once a student at his college and that his father had served as the principal. He extended congratulations to the entire cast and crew, particularly director Pawan Ketharaju, and emphasized that he had attended the event despite his assembly commitments, underscoring his support for the film. Malla Reddy urged the audience to ensure the film’s success, hoping it would become a pan-India hit.

Director Pawan Ketharaju expressed heartfelt thanks to MLA Malla Reddy for gracing the event. He credited the film’s success to the unwavering support of the producers and heaped praise on SP Charan, calling him a gift from the late SP Balasubrahmanyam.

He also thanked actors Praveen and Raghubabu, as well as senior technicians Shyam and Mani Sharma, for their invaluable contributions.
