"Magic of Tholi Prema Will Repeat": Mega Prince Varun Tej Promises Non-Stop Laughs with Korean Kanakaraju!
The promotional campaign for Mega Prince Varun Tej’s upcoming supernatural horror-comedy Korean Kanakaraju reached a fever pitch at its grand pre-release event held in Bhimavaram. Addressing a massive, enthusiastic crowd, Varun Tej expressed immense confidence in the film's outcome, officially announcing early premiere shows across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on August 6, ahead of its worldwide release on August 7, 2026.
Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi (Express Raja, Ek Mini Katha), the film is jointly bankrolled by powerhouse banners UV Creations and First Frame Entertainment.
Early Premieres Lock-In Out of Complete Confidence
Reminiscing about his emotional connection with the venue, Varun Tej drew parallels to his earlier blockbuster Tholi Prema:
"I came to this exact college venue in 2018 for the Tholi Prema event, and seeing your energy today makes me believe that same magic is about to repeat with Korean Kanakaraju. We are so confident in our content that we are hosting early premieres on August 6 night across both Telugu states.
Gandhi has delivered brilliant comedy timing, and composer Thaman S has poured his soul into the re-recording. Comedian Satya’s role as 'Krishnappa' will have audiences in splits. This is a film every family can watch together in theatres."

Thaman's BGM & Ritika Nayak's Key Presence
Sensational music composer Thaman S shared his excitement after watching the final cut of the film, praising director Merlapaka Gandhi’s vision and production values provided by UV Creations and First Frame Entertainment.
Leading lady Ritika Nayak expressed her gratitude for playing the pivotal character Chaithra, calling her experience working alongside Varun Tej and director Gandhi a deeply enriching journey. Singer Nalgonda Gaddar, who rendered a key track for the album, also thanked the team for the opportunity as the songs continue to trend on music charts.
With back-to-back viral teasers, chartbuster tracks, and strong trade buzz, Korean Kanakaraju promises a refreshing theatrical experience when preview shows kick off on August 6.
