Mirchi (English: Chilli) is a 2013 Telugu action drama film written and directed by debutante Koratala Siva and produced by Prabhas's brother Pramod Uppalapati and V.Vamsi Krishna Reddy under UV Creations banner. The film stars Prabhas, Anushka Shetty and Richa Gangopadhyay in the lead roles and Sathyaraj, Adithya Menon and Nadhiya in pivotal roles. The film was tentatively titled Vaaradhi, but was later renamed to Mirchi.
The film has received six state Nandi Awards, including Nandi Award for Best Feature Film (Gold), and Nandi Award for Best First Film of a Director for 2013. Kailash Kher won Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer – Telugu, and Nandi Award for Best Male Playback Singer for the song "Pandagala Digivacchavu". The film was dubbed into Hindi as Khatarnak Khiladi. It was remade in Kannada as Maanikya and in Bengali as Bindaas.
The movie begins with Jai (Prabhas) practicing guitar when a girl runs to him and asks him to save her from a gang of goons chasing her. Then Jai, without fighting, resolves the conflict. The girl introduces herself as Manasa (Richa Gangopadhyay). They slowly become friends, but one day she asks Jai to leave her and go as she cannot stand the separation from him if their relationship develops any further. He then goes back to India and changes the mind of Manasa's brother Poorna (Subbaraju), and when they give a vacation he goes with him to his village. There, where everyone are conservative in nature, he changes their nature and makes them more lovable.
