The upcoming sankranti promises an intense cinematic battle, with five films, including Mahesh Babu's "Guntur Karam," Venkatesh's "Saindhav," Nagarjuna's "Na Samiranga," ravi Teja's "Eagle," and teja Sajja's "Hanuman," all vying for attention. However, the sheer number of releases poses a challenge for theaters, and the issue was openly discussed during the recent "Saindhav" trailer release.
When asked about the challenges of theatre adjustments amid the multiple releases, venkatesh, in his characteristic simplicity, responded, "I don't feel anything." This straightforward answer reflects Venkatesh's calm approach to the situation. venkatesh and mahesh babu previously collaborated in the film "Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu," where venkatesh played the elder brother to Mahesh Babu's character.
The camaraderie formed during this film has transcended the screen, and the two actors share a genuine brotherly bond. While both "Guntur Karam" and "Saindhav" are gearing up for a grand sankranti release, the friendly relationship between Mahesh and venkatesh, often referred to as Peddodu and Chinnodu (elder brother and younger brother), adds a positive dimension to the competition.
Both films have generated considerable buzz among fans, and it remains to be seen which one will emerge victorious at the box office. During a press meet for "Saindhav," venkatesh expressed his desire for the re-release of his film "Tu Nak Nachchaav," indicating that he appreciates the idea of classic films being brought back to the big screen. Venkatesh's suggestion resonates with fans of the film, and it adds a nostalgic touch to the ongoing trend of re-releasing classic movies.
