In a statement to the media, the filmmakers had said: “In Nizam region, ‘Officer’ producers will release the movie on their own while Kamakshi Movies will be distributing the movie in Krishna district. Sri Subramaneswara Cine Creations will release ‘Officer’ through Prince Films in the rest of Andhra Pradesh.”

Well, with the release date being just a few days away, fans are waiting for Officer to arrive eagerly.
