Released as a grand Sankranthi festival treat on January 14, Anaganaga Oka Raju has emerged as a sensational blockbuster, winning hearts across Telugu-speaking regions worldwide. Starring star entertainer Naveen Polishetty in the lead role, the film has crossed a massive ₹100+ crore gross globally, establishing itself as the undisputed Sankranthi winner.
Presented by Srikara Studios and produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, the film marks the directorial debut of Mari, with Meenakshi Chaudhary playing the female lead.
Arriving with high expectations, Anaganaga Oka Raju delivered not just non-stop laughter but also emotionally resonant moments, striking a perfect chord with family audiences. Celebrating this phenomenal success, the makers hosted a grand success meet on Friday evening at Ramanaidu Studios, Hyderabad. Renowned producer and TFDC Chairman Dil Raju and popular director Bobby Kolli graced the occasion as chief guests. Memorabilia were presented to the cast, technicians, and distributors who played a key role in the film’s success.
Dil Raju Speaks:
“Heartfelt congratulations to the entire Anaganaga Oka Raju team. A special appreciation to producer Naga Vamsi—his passion for cinema is inspiring, and when someone truly loves cinema, success naturally follows. Many should learn from him. Congratulations to director Mari, Chinmayi, Mickey J. Meyer, and the entire team.
Meenakshi Chaudhary has now delivered back-to-back Sankranthi hits, and Naveen Polishetty carried this film completely on his shoulders. I watched the film a day before release and was confident it would be a hit. From Life Is Beautiful to now, I’ve closely witnessed Naveen’s journey. This film clearly proves that hard work always pays off.”
Director Bobby Kolli Says:
“They say heroes are born when timing works in their favour—but Naveen Polishetty is someone who has mastered timing itself. Even while recovering from a serious accident last year, he spoke passionately about finding great writers and making blockbusters. That’s his hunger for cinema.
Watching the film, I felt his energy never dipped for even a single frame. That dedication will take him to greater heights. Recently, Megastar Chiranjeevi garu personally told me how much he loved Anaganaga Oka Raju and praised Naveen’s incredible energy, calling him his favourite among the new generation. That appreciation itself is a huge achievement.”
Naveen Polishetty’s Emotional Speech:
“There’s a dialogue in our film that says Raju’s wedding will be remembered for seven generations on both sides. In the same way, this Sankranthi will be remembered forever by all of us. This is a truly rare Sankranthi in Telugu cinema history.
Many wondered whether our film would survive amidst big releases. The fact that it stood strong and became such a huge success is solely because of Telugu audiences. I bow my head in gratitude to audiences across the world who trusted a Sithara Entertainments film, trusted Naga Vamsi garu, and trusted me. Without you, there is no Naveen Polishetty.
When I hear a story, I think about three people—the producer, the distributors and exhibitors, and the audience who spends their hard-earned money. I want to respect all three. I may do fewer films, but I always aim to make good films.
Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, Jathi Ratnalu, Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty, and now Anaganaga Oka Raju—four consecutive successes. Many said someone from YouTube couldn’t become a hero, but Telugu audiences gave me four straight blockbusters.
Coming from a middle-class family and being inspired by Megastar Chiranjeevi garu, releasing alongside his film and succeeding is a dream come true. Hearing that he spoke about me brought tears to my eyes.”
Meenakshi Chaudhary:
“This Sankranthi is extremely special for me. I sincerely thank the audience for the immense love and for making this film such a grand success.”
Producer Naga Vamsi:
“When distributors say they are happy with profits, that itself is the biggest victory for a producer. Knowing that everyone benefited from this film gives me immense satisfaction.”
Director Mari:
“Releasing during Sankranthi itself felt special, and crossing ₹100+ crore makes it unforgettable. I will always be grateful to Naveen garu for trusting me. Watching audiences enjoy the film in theatres made every struggle worthwhile.”
Writer & Creative Director Chinmayi:
“We worked relentlessly for this film. The audience rewarding us with such massive success means everything.”
Lyricist Chandrabose:
“I wrote ‘Anaganaga’ in a rich, grand manner for Raju Gari Pelliro, and the film achieving such grand success feels poetic. Naveen’s dedication is truly inspiring.”
The event, energetically hosted by Suma Kanakala, concluded on a joyous note. Cinematographer Yuvaraj, art director Gandhi, editor Vamsi, and actors Chandra, Bhadram, Santosh, among others, were also present, expressing heartfelt gratitude to audiences for making Anaganaga Oka Raju a historic Sankranthi blockbuster.
