Quick Gun Murugun, a western spoof, based on the cult TV character by the same name, has veteran Telegu actor, Dr. Rajendra Prasad in the lead role.

While our service offering as the pioneer of ticketing in India will bring tremendous value to the gross receipts of the film, our own value proposition to end consumers will be enhanced with unique, customized and co-branded content.

Our alliance with KyaZoonga will bring us a lot of value and will help us by reaching out to the millennial generation. We believe that this partnership will deliver mutual benefit and set the stage for future partnerships”

Directed by Shashank Ghosh and written by Rajesh Devraj, Quick Gun Murugun is an unlikely Superhero with Guntastic powers. He is a sincere South Indian Cowboy who considers it his duty to serve and protect. The movie revolves around mis-adventures of Quick Gun Murugun and his fight with his arch villain Rice Plate Reddy!

Quick Gun Murugun enters into an epic battle that spans time and space, from a small South Indian village to Swarglok and then finally to a cosmopolitan Mumbai. He is torn between Mango Dolly who loves him secretly and his first love Locket Lover and his loyalty is put to the test.

Quick Gun Murugun also sees the comeback of south Indian actress Rambha. The movie is based on a character called Quick Gun Murugun, initially created for television promos at the time of the launch of the music network Channel [V] in 1994. The character had a cult following, and made catch phrases like ‘Mind it’. Quick Gun Murugun has been exhibited at the London Film Festival, the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles and at the New York Asian Film Festival and received rave reviews.
