Directed by Vivek Atherya and produced by DVV Danayya, known for the blockbuster RRR, the film stars Priyanka Mohan and SJ Suryah in pivotal roles. The anticipation surrounding Saripodhaa Sanivaaram is palpable, with tickets for the premiere shows flying off the shelves. The film has sold nearly 17,000 tickets across 415 locations, marking the widest U.S. release for a Nani-led film to date. With ticket prices set at $17 for the first week, the film is projected to hit $600,000 by the end of its premiere shows.

The growing Telugu-speaking population in the U.S. has significantly contributed to the success of Telugu films like Saripodhaa Sanivaaram. Nani attributes the massive turnout to the passion for cinema within the Telugu diaspora, stating, “The euphoria and madness around premiere shows are unmatched. It’s not just about watching a film; it’s about being the first to experience and share it.”

Initially referred to as Nani 31, the film marks the actor’s 31st lead role and is poised to become another significant milestone in his career.
