Upendra’s blockbuster film “A,” starring Upendra and Chandini, has once again captured the hearts of audiences. The film, which originally achieved phenomenal success, broke records in its rerelease in Karnataka three weeks ago. Fans thronged to theatres as early as 6:30 in the morning, reminiscent of its initial release many years ago, surprising business circles with the enthusiastic turnout.
The film’s timeless love story, which was a super hit in Telugu many years ago, has a special place in the hearts of Telugu fans. Distributor Lingam Yadav took great efforts to remaster the Telugu version in 4K and update the Dolby sound, making it a visually and audibly stunning experience. The film was released yesterday in theatres across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, much to the delight of its fans.
A celebrity and press show held yesterday was met with resounding applause, with whistles and claps accompanying each dialogue delivered by Upendra and Chandini. Notable guests, including BJP leader Ramchander Rao and IT and Aerospace stalwart Sudhakar Gande, watched the film for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The highlight of the evening was the presence of the film’s heroine, Chandini Sasha. Her heartfelt performance moved the audience to tears, and her sharing of beautiful experiences from the film captivated all those who attended. Chandini graciously posed for pictures with fans, expressing her gratitude and nostalgia for the film. She remarked, “It was my first film after school, so it will always be special. I thank Upendra for his belief in me, even without seeing me, based only on his intuition from seeing my pictures from a beauty pageant when I was in the USA.”
Lingam Yadav, the distributor, expressed his happiness with the overwhelming response to the film’s rerelease. “We are thrilled with the reception. Bringing this timeless love story back to the big screen in 4K has been a rewarding experience,” he said.
Upendra, who was in Hyderabad last week to share his experiences of “A,” sent his wishes for the film’s rerelease, despite being busy with his much-awaited project “UI,” which marks his next directorial venture. The film show last evening brought back fond memories of Upendra’s directorial magic, leaving a lasting impression on all attendees.
The rerelease of “A” not only reignited nostalgia but also introduced the timeless love story to a new generation of viewers, reaffirming its place in the hearts of cinema lovers.
