Tollywood Classic Manam to Re-Release in Japan – Nagarjuna to Greet Fans Virtually

Tollywood continues to win hearts across the globe — especially in Japan, where Telugu stars like Rajinikanth, Prabhas, NTR, and Ram Charan enjoy massive popularity. Now, Akkineni Nagarjuna joins this elite list, thanks to his enduring performance in the evergreen hit Manam.

Manam to Hit Japanese Theaters Again

The 2014 family drama Manam is set to re-release in Japan on August 8, 2025, marking another milestone in Tollywood’s global expansion. Directed by Vikram Kumar and produced by the Akkineni family under Annapurna Studios, the film features:

• Nagarjuna

• Naga Chaitanya

• Samantha Ruth Prabhu

• The legendary Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR)

With its unique story of reincarnation, love, and family, Manam became a critical and commercial success upon its original release. Now, it’s all set to enchant Japanese audiences once again.

Tollywood’s Rising Popularity in Japan

The Japanese film audience has long embraced Indian cinema. Superstar Rajinikanth’s Muthu started the trend, and more recently:

• Prabhas’s Baahubali franchise

• Ram Charan and Jr. NTR’s RRR

• NTR’s Devara promotions
  have all helped Telugu films break cultural barriers.

Even Nagarjuna, who impressed Japanese viewers with his role in Brahmastra, now has a loyal following in the country.

Virtual Fan Meet with Nagarjuna

In celebration of Manam’s Japan re-release, Nagarjuna will interact with fans virtually via a special video call event. Fans attending the screenings will get a chance to see and hear from the star who has now become a beloved name in Japan.

Though not in person, this heartfelt gesture is expected to be a memorable moment for Japanese fans, marking a new chapter in global Tollywood fandom.

More Than Just a Re-release

Manam is not just a film — it’s a tribute to the Akkineni legacy and a tale that transcends generations. Its re-release in Japan is more than nostalgia — it’s proof that language is no barrier when storytelling is universal.

Final Word

As Manam gears up to light up Japanese screens again, Nagarjuna’s connection with international audiences grows stronger. His virtual interaction and the love from Japan reaffirm Tollywood’s ever-expanding global footprint.

Fans across the globe now await to see how this classic continues to touch hearts — this time, in a different land.
