Actor Santosh Shoban is back with another slice-of-life story, this time in the form of a modern romantic drama titled Couple Friendly. The teaser for the film dropped today and instantly made an impression with its clean visuals, easy chemistry between the leads, and an emotional tone that feels instantly relatable.
Set in the heart of Chennai, Couple Friendly follows the journey of a young, middle-class Telugu boy with big dreams. Played by Santosh, the protagonist is an aspiring interior designer who depends on bike pooling as he struggles to find a break in his career. During one such ride, fate brings him face to face with Manasa Varanasi’s character. What begins as a chance encounter soon blooms into a gentle romance filled with small, intimate moments that reflect the realities of urban love.
The teaser is refreshingly grounded, never overdramatic or forced. Instead, it uses simplicity to its advantage. Whether it’s the small smiles, warm glances, or heartfelt silences, the visuals are underscored by a soothing background score that elevates the mood of the story. The chemistry between Santosh and Manasa is natural and compelling, making the teaser all the more promising.
Manasa Varanasi, who makes her acting debut with this film, holds her own with a strong screen presence. A former Miss India, she brings grace and freshness to her role. Director Ashwin Chandrasekhar, also making his directorial debut, seems to understand the pulse of youthful storytelling. With a focus on real emotions and modern urban dynamics, his approach adds authenticity to the film’s tone.
Produced under UV Concepts and presented by UV Creations, the film is being made in both Telugu and Tamil, aiming to connect with a wider audience. Backed by a team that includes talented technicians like Dinesh Purushothaman on cinematography and Aditya Ravindran on music, Couple Friendly looks all set to offer a cinematic experience that is equal parts emotional and entertaining.
With its relatable premise, fresh pairing, and heartfelt moments, Couple Friendly might just become the next big love story to root for.
