The winning streak of collaborators Bunny Vaas and Vamsi Nandipati looks set to continue with their latest venture, Hey Bhagavan. Described as a relentless comedy entertainer, the film features Suhas and Shivani Nagaram in the lead roles, supported by veteran actor Naresh and Sravanti.
At a high-energy promotional event in Hyderabad on Thursday, titled "Not a Trailer," Mega Supreme Hero Sai Durga Tej officially launched the film's latest footage and shared his enthusiasm for the project.
A "Not a Trailer" Strategy
The makers have adopted a bold marketing approach by releasing a teaser that intentionally hides the film’s core plot. Director Gopi Achara explained that because the story is so unique, they want the audience to experience the "main point" directly on the big screen.

"Tej Anna has been my pillar of support since before I even entered the industry. He even helped convince my parents about my career choice. I’m confident Hey Bhagavan will complete my February hat-trick of hits."
