Last December, the makers released a hilarious teaser of the film, which they called a 'Pre-wedding video'. The pre-wedding video was released on the occasion of the birthday of the film's hero, Naveen Polishetty, last year.
The video clip that was released then showed guests who have gathered for Raju's wedding all set to eat food out of golden plates.
Just when a guest is about to take a bite of the sweet Kaju Kathili, a supervisor comes and snatches it out of his hand. He turns around miffed with his workers, because the Kaju Kathili has a silver foil on it instead of a gold foil. The worried guest says that he is okay with a silver foil but instead, the supervisor insists this cannot be as this is Raju's wedding and everything must be in gold.
The fun doesn't stop there. You then see Raju pretending to have a hilarious conversation with industrialist Mukesh Ambani about his son's wedding.
The makers used this teaser to announce that the film would release in 2025. However, now, the release date has again been pushed to January 14, 2026.
Directed by Maari, the film has cinematography by J Yuvraj and music by Mickey J Meyer. It has been produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas.

Malvi Malhotra: I'm currently taking online classes to learn Tamil
Malvi tells us that she decided to take up the film after watching Oru Nodi ( Jenma Natchathiram is made by the same team). 'I'm happy to be a part of Tamil cinema. The cinema made here is sensible. I'm currently taking online classes to learn Tamil,' says actress Malvi Malhotra, who is set to make her Tamil debut with the horror thriller Jenma Natchathiram. 'I TRY TO KNOW EVERYTHING BEFORE I SIGN A PROJECT' Malvi tells us that she decided to take up the film after watching Oru Nodi ( Jenma Natchathiram is made by the same team). 'I really liked Oru Nodi . The next day, I received a narration and signed Jenma Natchathiram . I try to know everything about a project before I sign on the dotted line. I look at the story, my character graph, the technical team, the budget and the banner. It's important to do that because I want to be sure I'm doing the right film,' she shares. 'MY TAMIL DEBUT FILM IS ABOUT HOW GOOD WINS OVER THE BAD' Delving into her character and preparations for the film, the actress reveals, ' Jenma Natchathiram is a beautiful story of how good wins over the bad. My character in the film is named Riya. She believes in God and is a pure soul. Riya's character is relatable to any normal girl. So, much preparation wasn't needed. But I have seen films like The Omen to see how the characters behave.' 'I CAN UNDERSTAND TAMIL AND TELUGU, BUT MALAYALAM WAS MOST DIFFICULT' Malvi, who has acted in Telugu and Malayalam films ( Tiragabadara Saami and Abhyuham , respectively) already, shares that she loves learning new languages. 'It's fun to learn about different cultures and food. I can still understand and speak Tamil and Telugu, but Malayalam was the most difficult to learn. It sounds like a tongue twister.' 'RECENTLY, I AUDITIONED FOR A HOLLYWOOD PROJECT' The actress, who has films lined up in multiple languages, states, 'I've a film coming up in Punjab titled Dama Dum Mast Kalandar . I'm also doing one film each in Hindi and Telugu. In Tamil, I'm currently listening to scripts. Recently, I've also auditioned for a Hollywood project. For me, it doesn't matter which language I'm working in. I want to explore everything that pushes me out of my comfort zone.' 'Kamal sir is such a good actor; Dhanush is magic on screen' Ask Malvi about her favourites from Tamil cinema, and she replies, 'I can name Kamal Haasan, Dhanush, and Vijay Sethupathi. Kamal sir is such a good actor, and the way Dhanush performs on screen looks like magic. Among the directors, I love Mani Ratnam sir. I've watched all his films. Sridevi is an actress I like a lot; she is my favourite.'

They say time flies, yet some experiences and moments are frozen in time. For an actor, it can be his first film, the first interaction with the camera, the first time a filmmaker gave him the chance to showcase his talent. The first an actor tries something new, it gives him butterflies, and that is exactly what Abhishek Bachchan felt on the sets of his debut movie, Refugee. The film has completed 25 years today, and on this special occasion, he reflected back on the years that went by and took a walk down memory lane. 'Hopefully, there's been a fair share of improvement in these 25 years. As an actor, I definitely feel a lot more comfortable than I was when I first started. As a person, having lived and experienced that much more, obviously, you're better equipped to handle situations,' shared Abhishek Bachchan during his conversation with Hindustan Times. He added that as an actor, one wants to improve with every movie, and he hopes he was able to do the same. Further, in the same conversation, Abhishek Bachchan opened up about his debut film and said, 'It materialised because JP Dutta (director) saab saw me at an award function and then approached me to do his film.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo According to the actor, it was entirely JP Dutta's call, and he can't be thankful enough for the same. He also confessed feeling nervous and utterly terrified, as it was his first film. 'Anytime you do something for the first time, it's terrifying, and it still is actually. First days are always something that gives a lot of butterflies,' he expressed. 'But obviously getting an opportunity to make your debut with Mr. JP Dutta- that there is a thing of great privilege and honor, and I was immensely nervous,' added Abhishek. Today, Abhishek Bachchan is counted among one of the most versatile stars of the industry. From serious dramas to social satires to comedy, he has proved his mettle in every genre.
