Surya Raj, Charan Lakkaraju and Preethi Pagadala lead the cast of 418. The Telugu horror film has not announced their character names, so the most important part of this guide is also the simplest: the actors are confirmed, but specific roles remain under wraps.
418 is written and directed by Kirtan Nadagouda, presented by Prashanth Neel and produced by Mythri Movie Makers. It will open in theatres worldwide on July 31, 2026. For the full date, format and current streaming status, read our 418 theatrical release guide.
418 cast and characters
| Actor | Character | What is confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Surya Raj | Character name not announced | Lead cast |
| Charan Lakkaraju | Character name not announced | Lead cast |
| Preethi Pagadala | Character name not announced | Lead cast |
The cast announcement does not connect any of these actors to the woman shown in the first-look imagery or to a particular family, profession or supernatural role. Until the film releases more character material, assigning those identities would turn a visual clue into a guess.
Surya Raj
Surya Raj is one of the three actors named in the leading lineup. The production has not published a character name or a role description. That leaves his place in the story open, including whether he belongs to the threatened group, the source of the mystery or another strand of the horror setup.
Charan Lakkaraju
Charan Lakkaraju is also confirmed in a lead role. His character name and relationship to the other leads have not been disclosed. The campaign’s restraint means viewers will have to wait for a character poster, trailer or the theatrical release for a clearer introduction.
Preethi Pagadala
Preethi Pagadala completes the publicly named lead trio. Her character is likewise unannounced. The first-look material centres a disturbing female figure, but it does not identify the person on screen, so that image should not be used to assign Pagadala a role.
Who directs the 418 cast?
Kirtan Nadagouda writes and directs 418 in his feature-directing debut. He previously worked with Prashanth Neel as an assistant and co-director, and Neel presents this film. The production team also includes cinematographer Dinesh Divakaran, music composer Venky GG and production designer Ullas Hydur.
Naveen Yerneni, Anil Yerneni and Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar are credited as producers under the Mythri Movie Makers banner. The film is being positioned as a mysterious horror entertainer, while detailed plot and character information remains unannounced.
