Vanchana is an 2024 Indian Telugu language legal drama film directed by Umamahesh Marpu. [2]
Vanchana tells the compelling story of a church father who passes away inexplicably, which results in the arrest of Chalam (Srinivas Rao), his driver. To defend Chalam, a committed criminal defense attorney named Krishna (Uma Mahesh) takes over and begins investigating the cause of the church father's passing. Krishna discovers buried secrets during his investigation and comes to the realization that he knows who the true murderer is and why he was first hesitant to defend Chalam.
