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.

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Postponed Again; Producer AM Rathnam Hints at Major Changes to Krish’s Vision

Another Delay for Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu; Major Changes Teased by Producer AM Rathnam

Hari Hara Veera Mallu, the long-awaited period action drama starring Pawan Kalyan, has been postponed yet again. The delay is reportedly due to extensive pending CGI work, pushing back the film’s schedule once more.

Originally helmed by Krish, the project saw a major shift when the acclaimed director exited following repeated delays. In his place, Jyothi Krishna, son of producer AM Rathnam, stepped in to take charge of the remaining direction.

Produced under the Mega Surya Production banner, Hari Hara Veera Mallu has been in the making for quite some time, and the buzz surrounding it has dulled over time. In a recent interview, AM Rathnam shared an intriguing update:

“We will soon show the film to Krish. He’ll be completely shocked after watching it and seeing the changes we’ve made compared to what he had envisioned.”

This revelation hints at a drastically altered final product, sparking curiosity among fans and industry watchers. With Krish being the original creative mind behind the film, his involvement in the promotional campaign could reignite public interest. However, it remains to be seen if Krish will participate in marketing efforts for a film that has diverged from his original vision.

Stay tuned for more updates on Hari Hara Veera Mallu‘s new release date and promotional plans.

Released on June 4, 2010, the path-breaking Telugu film Vedam — starring Allu Arjun, Anushka Shetty, and Manchu Manoj — celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. Directed by Krish, the film redefined storytelling in Tollywood with its hyperlink narrative and emotionally layered performances, becoming a cult favorite.

To mark the milestone, director Krish shared a jaw-dropping memory from the film’s promotions. “We had put up a massive hoarding of Anushka Shetty in a bold and seductive pose near Punjagutta circle,” Krish recalled. “The response was so crazy that it caused over 40 road accidents in that area. Eventually, the police stepped in, and we had to take it down due to multiple complaints. That’s the kind of stunning impact Anushka made with her role.”

Vedam’s legacy lives on not just for its bold themes and performances but also for how it dared to do something completely fresh for Telugu cinema at the time.

Sarangapani Jathakam Movie Review: Priyadarshi Shines in This Wholesome Comedy Entertainer

Sarangapani Jathakam Movie Review: A Wholesome Comedy with Heart and Humor

Sarangapani Jathakam, the latest Telugu comedy from director Mohanakrishna Indraganti, brings together a talented cast led by Priyadarshi, Roopa Koduvayur, and Vennela Kishore. Released in theaters today, the film promises a mix of fate, fun, and feel-good comedy.

Story Overview:
Sarangapani (Priyadarshi), a car salesman who puts blind faith in palmistry, falls in love with his rational manager, Maithili (Roopa Koduvayur). Just when life seems perfect, a palm reader predicts a dark twist in his future. Sarangapani’s desperate attempts to avoid this fate kick off a chain of comic events. Will the prediction come true? And how do Maithili, his friend Chandra (Vennela Kishore), and the mysterious Ahobila (Tanikella Bharani) play into his destiny?

Performances:
Priyadarshi is back in his comic zone and excels with a quirky, endearing performance. His chemistry with Vennela Kishore is a highlight, delivering consistent laughs. Viva Harsha, entering the second half, boosts the humor quotient further.

Roopa Koduvayur is graceful and grounded in her role, while the supporting cast — including Naresh, Devika, and Srinivas Avasarala — lend solid support. The dialogues land well, especially when delivered by seasoned comedians.

Drawbacks:
While the concept is fresh, the screenplay could’ve used more twists. The second half feels slightly sluggish, and the climax wraps up too quickly. Also, veteran actor Tanikella Bharani is underused, and a few coarse dialogues feel jarring in an otherwise clean comedy.

Technical Merits:
Indraganti shines in the comedy bits, but a tighter second half would’ve helped. PG Vinda’s cinematography is pleasant, and Vivek Sagar’s music complements the tone well. Editing is decent, but it could have benefited from sharper pacing.

Verdict:
Sarangapani Jathakam is a feel-good comedy with strong performances, especially by Priyadarshi and Vennela Kishore. Despite minor hiccups in the narrative, it delivers clean entertainment and is a good weekend pick for families looking for light laughter.
