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."

‘Tribanadhari Barbarik' theme song struck a haunting chord with listeners
A new wave of curiosity has swept through Telugu cinema with the announcement of Tribanadhari Barbarik, an upcoming anthology film written and directed by Mohan Srivatsa. With its intriguing structure, layered narrative, and mysterious central element — a book titled Tribanadhari — the film is generating significant buzz. The story interweaves multiple characters and timelines, all connected through the enigmatic book. Featuring a powerhouse cast including Sathyaraj, Vasishta Simha, Satyam Rajesh, Udhyabhanu, Sanchi Rai, Kranthi Kiran, VTV Ganesh, and Motta Rajendran, the film brings together a mix of veteran performers and fresh talent. However, how their lives intersect remains a closely guarded secret. Amplifying the intrigue is the recently released Barbarik Theme Song, which has struck a haunting chord with listeners. Composed by the experimental Infusion Band and penned by lyricist Sanare, the track blends soulful Indian melodies with atmospheric sounds. A chorus of powerful voices — Krishna Chaitanya, Sai Charan, Shiva, Harsha Vardhan, Valli Gayathri, Sindhuja Srinivasan, Nada Priya, Brundha — and a rap segment by Aditya Iyengar adds layers to the film's mood, mirroring the multi-threaded storytelling. Technically, the film boasts solid backing. Produced by Vijaypal Reddy, the visuals by DOP Kushendar Ramesh Reddy and the editing by Marthand K. Venkatesh are expected to enhance the film's narrative depth. Srinivas Punna's art direction will help transport viewers across timelines and realities. Tribanadhari Barbarik seems poised to be more than just an anthology — it aims to be a philosophical and emotional experience, inviting audiences to decode a cinematic puzzle.
