In the coming days, Sarileru Neekevvaru will surely face tough competition from Allu Arjun starrer Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, which hit screens today.
Alongside Mahesh Babu, Sarileru Neekevvaru also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Vijayashanti and Prakash Raj among others. The film has been directed by Anil Ravipudi.
In an interview with indianexpress.com, Mahesh Babu said, “I think that is the strength of my director Anil Ravipudi. It is not a joke to strike a balance between heroism and comedy in the character of an army officer. At the same time, we should handle the character with care. The director kept all the elements in mind and has delivered an entertainer. I think people will be amazed by what Anil Ravipudi has done. He has evolved as a director with this film.”
He added, “The movie will be a blockbuster (smiles). Not just me, my entire team is feeling very confident about the film’s success.”

Indianexpress.com critic Manoj Kumar R gave the film 2.5 stars out of 5. In his review, he wrote, “Sarileru Neekevvaru is all about man, masculinity and manhood. Anil Ravipudi unapologetically establishes that being aggressive is the key quality of a “complete man.” However, he has been reasonable when it comes to the handling of patriotism. It really strikes a chord, when Ajay asks civilians to behave responsibly in society to honour the sacrifices that our soldiers make to protect them at the border.”
