Harshit Rangaswamy’s fantasy thriller revolves around an unlucky hero whose life takes an unexpected turn after he gets a cap.
H R Visions ‘Mr Lucky’, a fantasy thriller that explores the intriguing question of whether its protagonist is truly lucky, is set to hit the screens on October 30, 2026. The film’s teaser was recently launched by members of the Mr Lucky team.
The film revolves around an unlucky hero who gets a cap and the unexpected events that follow. What happens after he gets the cap forms the crux of the story. The teaser offers a glimpse into this unusual premise, with the idea of making mistakes becoming an important element of the narrative. The film also features the song “Topi Topi Enthaha Topi”, which promises a cheerful and entertaining touch.
Director Harshit Rangaswamy revealed that ‘Topi’ was the working title of the film before it was named Mr Lucky. He took a break from his IT job to pursue his filmmaking ambitions. After struggling for nearly two years to bring the project to life, he found support from his friends, who came forward to produce the film. He also expressed gratitude to his parents for standing by him throughout the journey.
Harshit said the team had worked hard in every department, including music, editing and cinematography, to deliver a quality product. He assured audiences that the film would not disappoint them. Comparing the cap’s role in the story to the way Spider-Man’s special abilities shape his journey, he explained that the cap becomes a significant element in the protagonist’s life. The film also features a comedy sequence dedicated to actor Darshan.
Ram Tej, who plays the lead role, said becoming a hero had been his dream since his college days. He had spent five years pursuing the ambition and had also worked with the Ranga Sarot theatre troupe, performed in dance programs and acted in two television serials. He expressed gratitude to the producers, particularly Vasanth, for supporting his dream and helping him realize it. Ram Tej also praised Harshit’s personality and directorial abilities.
The film stars Ritish Shetty, Aishwarya Devaraja Shetty, Raya, Kitan Naik, Asha Rani, Srinidhi Bengaluru, Jeevan Shivakumar and Harish Samashti, among others. Child actor Rakshan and Baby Chaitanya are also part of the cast.

Aishwarya Devaraja Shetty, who plays Lakshmi, the hero’s sister, said her character has a strong relatable factor and is full of life. She added that the bond between the lead characters resembles that of a brother and sister off screen as well. Workshops helped the actors develop an easy rapport on set, while the film combines entertainment with meaningful content.
Actor Raya said he came on board after watching different edits of the film and reading the script. He also spoke about his involvement in the project as an investor.
Harish Samashti, who plays the hero’s father, said his association with Harshit dates back to their theatre days. The emotional relationship between a father and son is an important aspect of the story. The film explores the significance of money in relationships and the emotions associated with the bond between a father and his son.
Music director Prasanna is collaborating once again with the short-film team led by Guna. Describing the film’s musical approach, he noted that it blends science-fiction elements with classical and folk influences. Trilok Trivikram has contributed to the song “Topi Topi Enthaha Topi”. The film features four songs in total.
Child actors Rakshan and Chaitanya expressed happiness to be part of the film ‘Mr Lucky’.
