Tollywood Classic ‘Andala Rakshasi’ Gears Up for Re-Release After 13 Years
The trend of re-releasing old Telugu films is in full swing, not just limited to blockbusters but also underrated gems that gained cult status over time. Joining this re-release wave is one such beloved classic—Andala Rakshasi, which is all set to return to the big screens.
Originally released 13 years ago, Andala Rakshasi was not a massive theatrical hit at the time, but it slowly earned its place as one of Tollywood’s most cherished underrated classics. Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, the film features Naveen Chandra, Rahul Ravindran, and Lavanya Tripathi in lead roles. It also marked Lavanya Tripathi’s debut in Telugu cinema.
The film, known for its unique love story and emotional depth, is scheduled for a re-release on June 13. The makers have officially confirmed this, and fans are eager to witness this emotional tale once again in theaters.
Despite a lukewarm response during its initial theatrical run, the film gradually won hearts and became a cult favorite. Andala Rakshasi stands out for its poetic storytelling, soulful performances, and memorable music by Radhan, with every song from the album becoming a hit over the years.
In the wake of successful re-releases like Gabbar Singh, which broke records upon its return to theaters, it remains to be seen how Andala Rakshasi will perform this time around. One thing is certain—the film holds a special place in the hearts of Telugu audiences.
