After a dry summer at the theatres, Telugu audiences have been treated to an entertaining watch with the re-release of Vikram and director S. Shankar’s iconic film Aparichitudu (the Telugu version of the hit 2005 film Anniyan). Nearly 19 years since its original release, the film is being received with great joy across Telugu states, with videos of fans celebrating at theatres circulating widely on social media.

It is interesting to note that many netizens have been requesting director Shankar to make a standalone film featuring Vikram’s character Rules Ramanujam from the film. “@shankarshanmugh sir, can you make a standalone film for Rules Ramanujam?” one user wrote.

Can Aparichitudu beat the records of big Telugu films this year?
The re-release of Aparichitudu is serving as a test for current Telugu releases. Recently, the re-release of Vijay’s Gilli shattered records at the box office and emerged as the highest-grossing film among other re-releases. But will this work at the Telugu box office as well? Will Aparichitudu be able to overtake the numbers raked in by films such as HanuMan and Guntur Kaaram? Only time will tell, but nonetheless, this re-release of a Telugu-dubbed Tamil film has become the talk on the internet.
