The shooting of Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati’s untitled film is currently going on. The movie is a Telugu remake of the Malayalam film Ayyappanum Koshiyum (2020) which starred Prithviraj Sukumaran and Biju Menon in the lead roles.
A few days ago, the makers had announced that it will be releasing on Makar Sankranti next year. But, now, finally, the official release date has been announced. The movie will hit the big screens on 12th January 2021, two days before the festival of Sankranti.
