Mani Ratnam denies Rumors of Film with Naveen Polishetty - Gulte

Tollywood’s rising star Naveen Polishetty, renowned for hits like Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, Chhichore, and Jathi Ratnalu, is gearing up for a strong comeback with his much-awaited film Anaganaga Oka Raju. After the success of Miss Shetty Mr. Polishetty, fans have been eagerly waiting for this next release.

Originally helmed by Kalyan Shankar with music by Thaman, the film underwent changes and is now directed by Maari and produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. Actress Meenakshi Chaudhary plays the female lead.

Though delayed due to an accident involving Naveen, the movie is slated for release on January 14, 2026, aligning with the festive Sankranthi season. However, this puts it in direct box office competition with the highly anticipated Chiranjeevi-Anil Ravipudi film.

Fans are excited to witness Naveen’s action entertainer during this festive occasion, marking a promising addition to both his career and the Tollywood Sankranthi lineup.
