Eight years ago, a small film about four friends, short filmmaking, and a chaotic trip to Goa permanently altered the pop-culture landscape of Telugu cinema. Now, the boys are officially back to recreate the madness. Celebrating the anniversary of the original youth blockbuster, the makers have formally announced the sequel—aptly titled ENE Repeat—locking its global theatrical release date for November 19, 2026.
