Director: Karthik Ghattamaneni
A cover-up unravels one lead at a time in Eagle, a 2024 Telugu action thriller built around a reporter who refuses to let a story die quietly.
What is Eagle about?
When a determined journalist starts digging into a story the government would rather bury, she finds herself circling the trail of a hired killer whose work is precise, brutal, and almost invisible. Each new fact she uncovers points higher up the chain, forcing officials to scramble and the assassin to reconsider whether his employers can be trusted. Karthik Ghattamaneni frames the investigation as a slow-burn chase, letting tension build through surveillance, close calls, and quiet confrontations rather than nonstop spectacle. Ravi Teja anchors the film with a performance that trades his usual comic energy for something colder and more withholding, while Anupama Parameswaran gives the journalist a stubbornness that keeps the plot moving even when the walls close in.
Cast & crew
Ravi Teja leads as the assassin at the center of the conspiracy, with Anupama Parameswaran as the journalist pulling the thread. Navdeep, Kavya Thapar, Vinay Rai, Srinivas Avasarala, Madhoo, and Praneeta Patnaik round out a cast built to serve a plot heavy on institutional players and shifting loyalties.
Context & significance
Released in 2024 and running 156 minutes, Eagle sits in the wave of Telugu action-thrillers built around morally murky operatives and the journalists or officers trying to expose them. Its emphasis on cover-ups and chain-of-command pressure gives it a procedural backbone underneath the action set pieces, and the runtime allows the plot to breathe through several distinct locations and shifting alliances rather than rushing to a single confrontation.

Eagle streams on K-Time with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles available, so viewers can follow the investigation in Farsi from the opening scene. A free K-Time account is all that's needed to watch; the page itself is open to read without signing in.
