Gunasekhar's New Thriller 'Euphoria' Hits Feb 2026

Veteran filmmaker Gunasekhar is set to release his new psychological thriller, 'Euphoria,' on February 6, 2026. This marks a departure from his earlier work like 'Rudramadevi' and 'Shaakuntalam.' The film features Bhumika Chawla in the lead role of an ambitious school principal whose professional life impacts her family. Gautham Vasudev Menon portrays a law enforcement officer central to the unfolding mystery.

The recently released teaser for 'Euphoria' has established a tense and gripping atmosphere, hinting at a narrative that aims to spark important conversations. The ensemble cast includes Sara Arjun, Nasser, and many others, supported by music from Kaala Bhairava. Praveen K Pothan handles cinematography, and Praveen Pudi is the editor.

This project signifies a reunion for Gunasekhar and Bhumika Chawla, who previously collaborated on 'Okkadu' in 2003. While Gunasekhar's last directorial, 'Shaakuntalam,' received mixed reviews, 'Euphoria' signals a bold new direction for the filmmaker, aiming for a significant impact with its modern thriller approach.
