Endukante Premanta
2012 Telugu film directed by A. Karunakaran
Endukante Premanta (transl. Because It's Love) is a 2012 Indian Telugu-language fantasy romantic comedy film written and directed by A. Karunakaran. Produced by Sravanthi Ravi Kishore, the film stars Ram Pothineni and Tamannaah Bhatia. It features music scored by G. V. Prakash Kumar and dialogues by Kona Venkat. The film was released theatrically on 8 June 2012.
The film deals with love between two souls across two different eras. Both Ram and Tamannaah play dual roles in the film, with each of those pairs of roles set in 1980 and 2012, respectively. This film's plot is based on the American film Just like Heaven (2005). Endukante Premanta was simultaneously shot in Tamil as Yen Endral Kadhal Enben (transl. Because I'II Say It's Love), though the Tamil version never saw a theatrical release.
Plot
In Vizag, 1980 : Krishna is in love with Srinidhi, and has been standing outside her college bus stop everyday for three years, hoping she would look at him. Srinidhi also likes Krishna but does not reveal it, as she fears that by doing so, she may put her family in trouble.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Endukante Premanta” as 2012 Telugu film directed by A. Karunakaran. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2012 Telugu film directed by A. Karunakaran. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q12992021. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012, 1980 and 2005.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
