Searching shows little using either title. Not notable. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 20:00, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

- Delete: A WP:SPA article by User:Sumanreddy22. The statement that the "team completed their first and major schedule" may indicate the film is still in production, so WP:NFF would apply (and not be met)? My searches, including the Indian newspaper search, on various combinations of the film title and its writer/producer/director Suman Reddy, are finding nothing to indicate that this passes WP:NFILM or WP:GNG.

- Delete: I didn't find any reference to this film other than the Wikipedia article itself. It definitely is a non-notable film, or could very well be a hoax. Anup [Talk] 03:41, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
- I just started thinking it might be a hoax, also. Burley22 (talk) 17:09, 27 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. I can't find a single thing out there about this film, which is highly suspicious given some of the people reportedly starring. It's pretty unlikely that the India newspapers wouldn't report on the fact that a recent winner of a popular TV show would be starring in a film with someone who won a national film award and a famous cricketer turned actor. That sort of thing is catnip to the dailies, who would be likely to report on any one of the linked actors performing in a new movie. For all of them in one film? It seems unlikely that they wouldn't report on it in some form or fashion.
- I can't help but think that I've seen the name "Suman Reddy" pop up with AfD or speedy deletion at some point in the past. I can't find anything on the speedy deletion wikia or at AfD, but the name just sticks in my head for some reason, like I've seen a related article up for deletion in some form or fashion.

- Interesting points @Tokyogirl79: these may in themselves suggest that WP:BLP is a factor here, if these individuals' names have been gathered into what appears to be a wannabe article? AllyD (talk) 07:00, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
- Excellent point, does seem to be a BLP issue. Burley22 (talk) 22:52, 28 September 2016 (UTC)
- Delete, per the above. Vanamonde (talk) 08:33, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
