418 will release in theatres worldwide on July 31, 2026. The Telugu horror film is written and directed by Kirtan Nadagouda, presented by Prashanth Neel and produced by Mythri Movie Makers.
The date gives horror fans a clear cinema plan just days after the film’s first-look campaign opened a very dark door. The imagery keeps the story deliberately hidden, but the team has confirmed the genre, the principal cast and the theatrical launch.

What is 418 about?
Detailed plot information has not been announced. The first-look visual shows a woman sitting with her back to the viewer inside a dim room, while the campaign describes the film as a mysterious horror entertainer. That is enough to establish the mood, but not enough to claim a specific supernatural threat, timeline or story twist.
Kirtan Nadagouda makes his feature-directing debut with 418 after working with Prashanth Neel as an assistant and co-director. Neel presents the film, while Naveen Yerneni, Anil Yerneni and Yalamanchili Ravi Shankar are credited as producers under the Mythri Movie Makers banner.
Who stars in 418?
Surya Raj, Charan Lakkaraju and Preethi Pagadala lead the cast. Their character names have not been announced, so the campaign is still keeping both the roles and the central conflict under wraps. For the confirmed lineup and role-status table, see our 418 cast guide.
Is the 418 OTT release date confirmed?
No. The confirmed date is for the worldwide theatrical release on July 31, 2026. An OTT platform and streaming date have not been announced. Any streaming plan should be treated as unconfirmed until the studio or a platform names it.
