Recently, Malayalam superstar and filmmaker Joju George’s film Pani, which became a massive hit in Malayalam, is set for a grand theatrical release in Telugu on December 13th. Actress Abhinaya plays a pivotal role in the film. The Telugu version is being brought to the audience by Am Word Entertainments, with Raj Vamsi serving as the executive producer. The pre-release event of Pani was held today at Prasad Labs in Hyderabad.
Director Veera Shankar, President of the Telugu Directors’ Association, remarked: “Pani achieved great success in Malayalam. It’s a sensible film, and my friend Raj Vamsi is bringing it to Telugu. Joju George is a phenomenal actor with numerous accolades to his name and has gained admiration from Telugu audiences as well. I wish the movie immense success in Telugu.”
Damodar Prasad, Secretary of the Telugu Film Chamber, shared: “I hold Malayalam cinema in high regard. They respect content, which is why they deliver remarkable films. Pani is another such strong content-driven film. I hope the Telugu audience gives it the success it deserves.”
Actor Gemini Suresh expressed: “Raj Vamsi is a good friend of mine, and I’m a fan of Joju George. I’ve been watching his movies on OTT platforms and was eager to meet him. It’s an honor to share this platform with him. Joju captivates with even the smallest expressions. I hope the collaboration between Joju and Abhinaya in Pani becomes a massive success at the Telugu box office.”
Malayalam producer Sijo Vadakkan noted:
“Working with talented artists like Joju George and Abhinaya on Pani was a great opportunity. The film has already been well-received in Malayalam, Kannada, and Tamil. I’m confident it will achieve the same success in Telugu.”
Actress Abhinaya said: “I’m thrilled to bring Pani to Telugu audiences. It’s an excellent film. Working with Joju George was a pleasure. Not only is he a brilliant actor, but he’s also showcased his prowess as a director. The film gave our team countless wonderful memories. I hope Pani achieves great success in Telugu as well.”
Executive producer Raj Vamsi commented: “Work is God. This movie is a testament to that. Bringing Pani to Telugu has been an honor. It’s a gripping thriller that keeps the audience engaged for two hours. Joju George’s dedication and talent are inspiring. This movie will not release on OTT on December 20, as rumored. It will first complete its successful theatrical run in Telugu. I’m confident audiences will embrace Pani wholeheartedly.”
Actor-director Joju George thanked everyone, stating:
“Thank you to all the guests who attended our pre-release event and spoke highly of me. I believe good cinema transcends language barriers. Telugu audiences have always supported me when I’ve acted in their films. Pani is a commercial action entertainer, and every member of the team has done incredible work.
