What happens

Mosagallu (transl. Deceivers) is a 2021 Indian Telugu-language Techno-thriller film directed by Jeffrey Gee Chin, and written and produced by Vishnu Manchu under the banner of AVA Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory. The film is based on the true events of a large-scale technical support scam and features an ensemble cast that includes Vishnu Manchu, Kajal Aggarwal, Suniel Shetty, Ruhi Singh, Navdeep, and Naveen Chandra. Principal photography began in June 2019. The film was scheduled to be released on 5 June 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film was made on an estimated budget of ₹51 crore (US$7 million), which was considered as false information by Manchu after watching movie's content and quality. The Telugu version of the film was released on 19 March 2021 along with its dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil and Kannada as Anu and Arjun, and in Malayalam as Arjun and Anu. Mosagallu was a box-office bomb. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
