Kanche

Kanche (English: The fence) is a 2015 Indian Telugu war film written and directed by Krish. It features Varun Tej, Pragya Jaiswal, and Nikitin Dheer in the lead roles. Y. Rajeev Reddy and J. Sai Babu produced the film under their banner, First Frame Entertainment. Kanche revolves around the enmity between two friends—Dhupati Haribabu and Eeshwar Prasad. Haribabu and Eeshwar's sister Sitadevi graduate from the University of Madras in the late 1930s and fall in love. Due to the prevailing racism in their native village, Eeshwar opposes their relationship and kills Sitadevi accidentally. Years later, Haribabu joins the British Indian Army as a captain to fight against the Axis Powers and Eeshwar, a colonel now, is his commanding officer.

Krish began researching on the film's subject after watching a bomb dropped by the Imperial Japanese Army preserved in a museum in Vishakhapatnam during the filming of Vedam (2010). He worked on the film's script for nine-and-a-half months and considered it as his most ambitious project. Chirantan Bhatt composed the film's soundtrack and score, marking his debut in Telugu cinema. V. S. Gnanasekhar was the film's director of photography; Sahi Suresh was the film's art director, and Sai Madhav Burra penned the film's dialogues.
