Nuvva Nena () is a 2012 Telugu-language romantic comedy film directed by debutante Pendyala Veera Venkata Sathya Narayana and produced by Vamsi Krishna under SVK Cinema banner. The film stars Shriya Saran, Allari Naresh, Sharvanand, and Vimala Raman in lead roles with Brahmanandam, Ali, Jeeva, Kovai Sarala, Srinivasa Reddy, and Narsing Yadav appearing in other significant roles. Bheems Ceciroleo composed the film's soundtrack with Mani Sharma providing the background score for the film. It is based on Hindi film Deewana Mastana.
The movie is a romantic comedy about two guys, Avinash (Allari Naresh) and Anand (Sharwanand), who end up competing for the same girl, Nandini (Shriya Saran). Avinash is a small-time thief who lands in Hyderabad and instantly falls for Nandini, a beautiful doctor. At the same time, Anand, a rich and confident young man, is already in love with her.
What follows is a hilarious rivalry between Avinash and Anand as they try to outsmart each other to win NandiniâÂÂs heart. They go to ridiculous lengthsâÂÂplaying pranks, trying to sabotage each other, and even teaming up temporarily when a gangster (Brahmanandam) gets involved.
As the story progresses, both guys realize that love isnâÂÂt just about competition but about truly understanding and caring for the other person. The film has a mix of comedy, romance, and some unexpected twists before reaching its conclusion.
