“The Theatrical Experience of Eesha Will Haunt You for a Long Time”: Sri Vishnu
Horror films are designed to scare audiences inside theatres—but Eesha has taken fear to an entirely new level. Proving that horror can be experienced even outside the cinema hall, the makers hosted an innovative pre-release event titled “Eesha Haunted Night” on Tuesday in Hyderabad. Designed with a spine-chilling theme, the event left attendees with the feeling of having already watched a horror film.
Produced on a grand scale by Vamsi Nandipati and Bunny Vas under the banners Vamsi Nandipati Entertainments and Bunny Vas Works, Eesha is set for a theatrical release on December 25. The film stars Akhil Raj and Trigun in lead roles, with Hebba Patel as the female lead. Siri Hanumanthu, Babloo, and Prithviraj play other important roles. The film is directed by Srinivas Manne, produced by Hema Venkateswara Rao under HVR Productions, and presented by senior producer KL Damodar Prasad.
Sri Vishnu as Chief Guest
Actor Sri Vishnu, fondly known as the King of Entertainment, attended the event as the chief guest. Adding to the unique horror concept, he launched the Big Ticket and symbolically signed a special “viewer’s consent form” before the film’s release.
Speaking at the event, Sri Vishnu said,
“I personally enjoy watching horror films. Experiencing them in a theatre with friends is always thrilling, and the impact stays in the mind for a long time. The theatrical experience of Eesha will also haunt audiences for a long time. Everyone should definitely watch this film in theatres. Director Srinivas Manne always brings novelty to his stories, and this film will have fresh ideas along with strong twists. When someone with refined taste like KL Damodar Prasad presents a film, expectations naturally rise. Bunny Vas and Vamsi Nandipati are known for encouraging newcomers and taking good films to the next level. I believe Eesha will be another success for them.”
Producer KL Damodar Prasad said,
“I associate only with films that have strong content. When a good story and a good team come together, the result will be a quality film. Reaching the audience is another big challenge, which Bunny Vas and Vamsi Nandipati have taken care of brilliantly. This is a horror film that audiences will definitely enjoy. Ticket prices have been kept affordable, and I urge everyone to watch and experience this film in theatres.”
Producer Vamsi Nandipati shared,
“Sri Vishnu is our lucky charm, and we are delighted he attended the event. For Eesha, audiences will sign a special consent form and enter the theatre prepared to be scared. This film will terrify viewers, deliver a meaningful message, and leave them satisfied. We are also releasing special premiere shows from December 24 at just ₹99. The film will both scare and entertain everyone.”
Bunny Vas added,
“Vamsi Nandipati completely takes responsibility for his films and ensures they reach the audience. Watching Eesha sends shivers down the spine. Even after seeing the film, I sometimes feel scared and look back. That’s the impact of this horror. Horror lovers will thoroughly enjoy it, especially the shocking climax. Audiences will scream in theatres. Bring someone who gets scared—it will be a memorable experience. I hope this film gives a great break to everyone involved.”
Hero Akhil Raj said,
“I hope the audiences who made Raju Weds Rambai a hit will also support Eesha. Though I am scared of horror films, I am eagerly waiting to watch this one in theatres. This film is very special to me.”
Director Srinivas Manne said,
“Sri Vishnu’s presence means a lot to us. I believe a film should speak for itself. I thank everyone who supported this journey. The valuable inputs from Vamsi and Bunny Vas helped make the film completely perfect.”
Hero Trigun stated,
“This film changed my life. Director Srinivas Manne made me a hero through this story. Watching Eesha feels like experiencing an international-standard horror film.”
Actors Siri Hanumanthu, Hebba Patel, producer Venkat, and several others were also present at the event.
