About Little Hearts
Little Hearts, starring Mouli and Shivani Nagaram in the lead roles, charmed audiences with its heartfelt storytelling and refreshing chemistry between the lead pair. Backed by Aditya Haasan, the filmmaker behind the web series 90’s- A Middle Class Biopic, Little Hearts tells the love story of a young couple.
The film centres around Nalli Akhil Kumar (Mouli), a bright student, whose father wants him to become an engineer. After he scores poorly in an exam, he takes admission in a long-term MPC coaching centre, where he meets Khatyayani (Shivani Nagaram), a fellow struggler from the BiPC stream. He falls in love with her, and although she initially rejects his proposal, she later accepts it. But when their parents come into question, their story takes a turn. Besides Mouli and Shivani, the film stars Rajeev Kanakala, SS Kanchi, Anitha Chowdary, and Sathya Krishnan.
The film was released in theatres on September 5, 2025.
