Presented by star director Maruthi on Maruthi Team Product and produced by Vijaypal Reddy Adidhala under the Vanara Celluloid banner, the film is directed by Mohan Srivatsa. It also stars Vashishta N. Simha, Satyam Rajesh, Udaya Bhanu, Kranthi Kiran, and Sanchi Roy in key roles. As officially announced, the film is set for a massive theatrical release on August 29. In filmmaking, timing the release right and securing enough theatres is often more crucial than just making the film itself. A well-timed release with ample screens significantly increases box office success.

The trailer, in particular, has raised the buzz around the film, with visuals, background score, and presentation drawing appreciation. Director Mohan Srivatsa's unique execution style and music by Infusion Band have already sparked curiosity. Even though this is producer Vijaypal Reddy's debut project, there have been no compromises on production quality, as the film has been mounted on a grand scale. Songs released under Aditya Music have struck a chord with listeners, while Kushender Ramesh Reddy's visuals have impressed with quality and innovation. The film's central concept, 'Barbarik,' has already become a hot topic on social media. With distinctive promotions, the team is actively creating buzz among audiences. Originally scheduled for release on August 22, the date was postponed to August 29 to ensure a better release window and sufficient theatre allocation.

‘Tribanadhari Barbarik' set for August 22 release
Under the production of Vijaypal Reddy Adidhala's Vanara Celluloid banner and presented by star director Maruthi on Maruthi Team Product, the film 'Tribanadhari Barbarik' is directed by Mohan Srivatsa. The movie, which stars pan-Indian actor Sathyaraj in the lead role, also features Vasishta N. Simha, Satyam Rajesh, Udaya Bhanu, Kranthi Kiran, and Sanchi Rai in key roles. The film carries strong buzz, with each promotional release making a positive impression. While the glimpse and teaser introduced the mythological backdrop, the songs turned out to be chartbusters. The official release date was recently announced at a press conference. Sathyaraj said, "I'm delighted to have worked on 'Tribanadhari Barbarik.' We could all say our roles are main, but the story is the real hero here. Director Mohan, producer Vijay, and executive producer Rajesh are the real 'arrows' of this film. Eshwar made me dance, and Ramesh showcased all of us brilliantly. The director and cinematographer did a fantastic job together. Even after turning 70, I still want to take on new, unique roles. I want to do more roles like 'Barbarik' instead of the typical ones. This film will be released on August 22nd, which is my dear friend Megastar Chiranjeevi's birthday. Chiranjeevi is a complete actor—a great actor, a great dancer, and a wonderful person. We are so happy that our movie is releasing on his birthday." Udaya Bhanu added, "I haven't been away from movies; I just act in roles that appeal to me. Currently, I've had the opportunity to play a role that satisfies an artist's hunger. Mohan gave me a challenging role in 'Barbarik,' and I put my all into every character I play. Rajesh is a good friend of mine, and he always convinces me to do his projects. When Mohan narrated the story, I could visualize the entire plot and every scene. People often ask why our industry doesn't produce films like this, and our movie will surprise them. Vijaypal is a very passionate producer; if producers like him succeed, they will uplift many others. Vasishta is a great person, and Kranthi has next-level energy." Producer Vijaypal Reddy Adidhala remarked, "Our film 'Barbarik' is coming out on August 22nd. Please watch and support it. If you like our songs, teaser, and trailer, please give us your support." Director Mohan Srivatsa said, "It's the media, with their camera as their weapon, that has to take our film to the audience. That's why the media is our 'Barbarik.' The song 'Nee Valle Nee Valle' got a great response—that was our first arrow."

#SHOWBIZ: Barbarik rocks 2,700 fans in full-house Zepp KL extravaganza
THEY may sound "fearsome" with a name like Barbarik, but rock legends Jo Branko and Muss, formerly of Wings and MAY respectively, meet every criteria of "super rockers". Loaded with lots of attitude and energy, Jo's skilful guitar-playing put the packed Zepp KL concert hall in Jalan Hang Tuah, Kuala Lumpur under his magical music spell. Likewise Muss' soaring vocals, which filled every corner of the state of the art hall, and got fans screaming and cheering all the way. Joined by fellow Barbarik bandmates, drummer Ainol and bassist Rozaimi, plus guest musicians, veteran guitarists Shah of Slam, Ujang Tukimon, Muzza and Karl of Cromok, they entertained some 2,700 fans non-stop for two hours beginning 9pm during a recent concert. Barbarik's first solo show in Zepp KL was themed 'Konsert Barbarik: Pentas Peluru Cokelat' and was part of their on-going promotion of their debut album 'Peluru Cokelat' which has six songs. Jo's and Muss' evening kicked off with 'Nasib Baik', their band's original song about the negatives of the modern world such as dishonesty and selfishness. This adrenaline-pumping song which began with Muss appearing as a silhouette in the light, was followed by 'On My Side', a Wings song for peace and the energetic 'Handal', another Wings song about being tough in the face of challenges. GREAT "How is everybody feeling tonight?" asked Muss, as the crowd answered "great". "I can't hear you," added Muss, as the crowd repeated themselves louder. Jo said: "We're going to give you a rocking good time, so brace yourself for more power." The quartet then belted out 'Satu Titik Yang Kosong', Wings' song about missing someone dearly, 'Kasmaran Selamanya', their tribute to the love of one's life and the catchy 'Badan Belut Kepala Ular', a Wings song about sleazy people. CITY "City life is full of challenges, we must roll with the punches," said Muss, as he sang 'Ranggi Metropolis', a Wings song about the challenges and temptations of city life. The crowd burst into sing-along mode, and for the rest of the evening, this became the norm rather than the exception. The band then delivered '203', a Wings song about respecting the legacy of friends and loved ones, 'Sakit Bantal Empuk', a Wings song about keeping promises, and 'Marcapada' about not wasting one's life away. "You've heard Wings songs, now it's time for some from MAY," said Muss, as he sang 'Sketsa Sebuah Cinta', a poignant yet powerful MAY song about the essence of true love, 'Potret Monalisa', a Wings song about forbidden love, and MAY's 'Cintamu Mekar Dihati' about being devoted to one's partner. BOB LOKMAN Jo said: "This one's a monster hit, and we're dedicating it to our departed friend Bob Lokman." Fans screamed louder and chanted "Taman Rashidah Utama", and they were proven right when Muss belted out that haunting and iconic number by Wings about a first love that was not to be. Urban legend has it that Bob wrote the song with veteran actress Aida Aris in mind, back in the 1980s. MOVING ON Three more energetic Wings numbers followed, namely 'Watari' about moving on for the better, 'Rastali' which described one's actions and feelings in colours of red, yellow and green, and 'Satelit Puaka', a hard-hitting anthem against unscrupulous people. "It was a joy to entertain all of you tonight, ladies and gentlemen," said Muss. "We hope to go on a tour later, rocking all the major cities in the country," said Jo. They disappeared backstage for a jiffy, but soon returned to belt out five energetic numbers namely 'Didakap Pesona' about being infatuated with someone who does not love back, 'Golok Kayu' about second chances, Wings' 'Jerangkung Dalam Almari' about accepting differences, 'Peluru Cokelat' about heartless and merciless people, and finally Wings' 'Keris Tidak Bersarung' about honouring old friends. FULL-HOUSE At a press conference after the show, Jo said: "We were surprised that it was a full-house concert as there were two other rock concerts in town namely 'Konsert Rampas Akim And The Majistret' and 'Konsert Jiwa Kacau'. "Everything went smoothly and it was very satisfying. We could see that the guests were all enjoying themselves." Muss, 57, said that they had trained hard for three months for the concert, which was organised by Pentas Barbarik Sdn Bhd.

#SHOWBIZ: Jo Branko's Barbarik gives fans 2 hours of non-stop rock hits
KUALA LUMPUR: Local rock group Barbarik, led by guitarist Jo Branko and vocalist Muss, entertained some 1,500 fans non-stop for two hours at Zepp KL tonight. The rock quartet, which also comprises drummer Ainol and bassist Rozaimi, marked its debut at the popular concert venue along Jalan Hang Tuah here, in a show themed Konsert Barbarik: Pentas Peluru Cokelat, which began at 9pm. The concert was part of Barbarik's promotion of its debut album Peluru Cokelat, which features six songs. The quartet performed a total of 21 tracks, comprising their original numbers, mostly composed by Jo, as well as songs from Jo's former band Wings and Muss' former band May. Among the songs performed were Badan Belut Kepala Ular, Sketsa Sebuah Cinta, Taman Rashidah Utama, Satelit Puaka, Jerangkung Dalam Almari, and Peluru Cokelat. Jo, who also served as the concert's producer, said Barbarik was a platform to reunite two former members of Wings, Muss and himself, after they left the veteran rock group to "find their own voice". He said that since Peluru Cokelat, launched late last year, features only six new songs, the band also needed to perform tracks he had composed with Wings. "This is because there will be fans who want to listen to those songs too, so we'll give them a little bit of what they want to hear," he said. Jo, 56, formed Barbarik last year as a "replacement" for Prime Domestic, a short-lived band he formed in 2017 not long after leaving Wings. A founding member of Wings alongside lead singer Datuk Awie, Jo left the band in 2016 due to creative differences with the Sembilu star. In addition to performing as a guitarist for his band, Jo has composed and written songs for various solo artistes and groups, including Ito of Blues Gang, Def Gab C, and NRG. He has also appeared in six films to date. Besides Putera, he has starred in Pemburu Bayang, Amelia, Super Star, Awang Trasher, and Left Wings.
