Advance bookings at popular theatres like Sudarshan 35mm and Devi Theatre have already been sold out. Even in overseas markets, bookings are filling up rapidly.
In Andhra Pradesh too, distributors have reportedly competed for area-wise rights, buying the re-release theatrical rights at record prices. According to reliable sources, the rights have fetched over ₹3 crore, reflecting the film's enduring popularity.
The film's music by Mani Sharma, comedy scenes featuring Brahmanandam, and Trivikram's signature dialogues remain key highlights. With the re-release trend gaining momentum in Tollywood, industry experts believe that Athadu is poised to become another major success at the box office.
