Vikram Sahidev-starrer rooted action and emotional drama "Anakapalli", directed by Khagesh Thammineni, is set to arrive in theatres on October 2.
The team recently celebrated the film’s pre-release event, with several noted celebrities gracing the occasion.
Vikram Sahidev thanked the guests and everyone who supported his journey. “Anakapalli is a love story, a friendship story and a family story,” he said.
V. V. Vinayak praised producer Lagadapati Sridhar’s passion for cinema and expressed confidence in Vikram’s future.
“Lagadapati Sridhar has a greater passion for cinema than all of us. I know how passionate he is about films. Vikram will become a big hero and fulfil Sridhar’s dream. I wish Anakapalli becomes a huge hit,” he said.
Mythri Ravi appreciated the film’s rooted setting, recalling Pawan Kalyan’s emphasis on telling stories connected to their surroundings.
“During the time of Rangasthalam, Pawan Kalyan said that filmmakers should tell rooted stories. Anakapalli also has that rootedness and depth. Shooting the entire film in Anakapalli itself is a great achievement,” he said.
Director Shiva Nirvana spoke about his personal connection with the town.
“I studied for my degree in Anakapalli. I too wanted to write a story based on the emotion of Anakapalli, but Thrinadha Rao did not give me that opportunity. I wish Vikram becomes a big hero,” he said.
Thrinadha Rao Nakkina highlighted the competitive performances in the film.
“When a game becomes exciting, we watch it with even more interest. There is a similar competition between every character in Anakapalli. Each actor competed with the others and delivered their best,” he said.
With the team promising a rooted and emotionally engaging experience, the film, produced by Bhavya Sri Movie Makers and Nakkina Narratives, is set to arrive in theatres on October 2.
