Least Eligible Bachelor

A Homegrown ETV Win Original

The ETV Win Original series Least Eligible Bachelor is directed by Babu Degala who is also credited as its creator. Ajay Arasada has composed music for Least Eligible Bachelor while Shakthi Arvind serves as the series' cinematographer. The series is edited by Likhith Lee.

The six-episode Least Eligible Bachelor is produced by Sridhar Cheni and Deepak Musthyala under the banner Vayona Entertainments. The title is a reference to Most Eligible Bachelor (2021), a Telugu-language romantic comedy film featuring Akhil Akkineni and Pooja Hegde in the lead roles.

Least Eligible Bachelor follows ETV Win's foray into original productions with 90's A Middle Class Biopic, a family drama series set against the backdrop of the 90s. Then came AIR, a dramedy series centred around exam aspirants. The platform also made Anaganaga, a Telugu film. Least Eligible Bachelor seems like a promising addition to the platform's original slate as it fits perfectly with the slice of life stories that the platform seems to have made its niche with.

A Groom Nobody Picks

Least Eligible Bachelor follows a man who blames his looks for his inability to find a life partner and moves to Hyderabad for a fresh start. There the girl he is made to meet for marriage turns out to be his office colleague. It sounds like a promising premise with potential for plenty of laughs as it unfolds against the marriage market's backdrop in the city.

Least Eligible Bachelor's trailer does an excellent job at establishing this premise. We get to see glimpses of how marriageable the hero is (spoiler alert, not really).

Harsha Steps Into the Lead

Harsha Chemudu, best known as Viva Harsha after a now more than a decade old YouTube short of his, takes the spotlight in Least Eligible Bachelor as its lead. For those unaware, Harsha has made his mark in films as the best friend of the hero. He featured in Telugu films such as Karthikeya 2 and Baby, to name a few. Harsha also experimented with serious roles in films like Colour Photo that went on to show his range. Sundaram Master (2024) was his first film as the sole lead.

Comedy is Harsha's forte and his biggest laughs come from his sincere streak and the unspoken acknowledgement of the fact that he's not the first pick when the chips are down. Least Eligible Bachelor seems like a perfect premise for Harsha to further explore this facet of his work with a wounded streak added in.

Harsha is joined by comedian Hyper Aadi in Least Eligible Bachelor. Aadi made his name on the Telugu comedy show Jabardasth with his quick-witted one-liners. If Harsha's comedic timing lies in being wounded in the knee by the world, Aadi's lies in refusing to stop talking, ever. Together they seem to form a promising on-screen pair with contrasting comedic sensibilities.

Least Eligible Bachelor stars Harsha Chemudu, Hyper Aadi, Jeevan Kumar, Aishwarya Holakkal, and Sravya Chowdary in the lead roles. It also features Prem Sagar and Inturi Vasu.
