Nagarjuna Akkineni announces Bangarraju Sankranthi release date, but with a note of caution

Nagarjuna Akkineni and Naga Chaitanya Akkineni-starrer Bangarraju is all set to release on January 14 in theatres. Nagarjuna, who plays the title role, announced the film’s release date in a press meet held in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

Speaking at the press conference, Nagarjuna said, “This release date was not the actual one which we had planned earlier. Bangarraju is a star-studded movie. So, we were skeptical about finishing the shooting part and making the film ready for a festival release. But yesterday, we have decided to release the movie on 14th January only after getting clarity from our technical and post-production teams. If everything goes smoothly and perfectly without any Omicron-induced disturbances, our film will come on January 14th, the Sankranthi day. I am indebted to the whole film team for completing it on time.”

Sharing the release date poster of Bangarraju, Naga Chaitanya also tweeted, “Jan 14th it is for #Bangarraaju .. see you all at the theaters.”
