This Sankranthi has been a delightful treat to Tollywood movie buffs, as festival special posters of various films are being released, raising expectations among audiences. The makers of films Narappa, Love Story, Rang De, Most Eligible Bachelor, Khiladi, WWW, Seetimaarr, Varudu Kavalenu, Power Play and Kanabadutaledu, have released new posters. The teaser for Pawan Kalyan’s Vakeel Saab was also released for Sankranthi.
While Tollywood usually has major film releases during Sankranthi, this year, many big films have been delayed because of the pandemic. Here are some of the Sankranthi updates from Tollywood.
The teaser of Pawan Kalyan’s upcoming film Vakeel Saab was released on Thursday. Directed by Sriram Venu, the film is the Telugu remake of the Hindi film Pink, a courtroom drama that dealt with the subjects of sexual violence and consent. While Pawan Kalyan fans were delighted to see Pawan Kalyan return to acting after a long break, the teaser has been criticised for the negligible presence of the women actors, Nivetha Thomas, Anjali and Ananya Nagalla who reprise prominent roles from the original film.
Director ‘Bommarillu’ Baskar’s film ’s film, titled Most Eligible Bachelor, stars Pooja Hegde and Akhil Akkineni. The makers of the film have released a Sankranti special poster of the film.
