Zee Telugu makes you fall in love this weekend with the World Television Premiere of Happy wedding
Zee Telugu is set to make this weekend a romantic one for its audience! Super hit Telugu movie, Happy wedding which has Anand (Sumanth Ashwin) and Akshara (Niharika Konidela) as lead, will premiere on 2nd September 2018 at 6:00 PM, only on Zee Telugu and Zee Telugu HD.
Happy Wedding is a story about Akshara (Niharika Konidela) breaking up with her boyfriend and moving on in life to fall in love with Anand (Sumanth Ashwin). It isn’t as simple as it sounds. The protagonist, Akshara, who is an independent indecisive girl living in Hyderabad, jumps to a decision of getting engaged to Anand who is an ad script writer living in Vijayawada. This love story shows all kinds of complications and confusions that Akshara goes through in having second thoughts about her decision of getting engaged to Anand when her ex-boyfriend starts plotting to claim her again. This confuses Akshara to choose between her boyfriend and her fiancée which later demand the participation of their families in getting them back together.
Directed by Lakshman Karya, Happy Wedding is themed around how the younger generation is indecisive and unclear on the concept of life and marriage. This movie beautifully captures the complications that the lead pair go through and involve their families to make their way to a successful marriage.
