Title Is The Release Date! Venkatesh, Kalyan Ram & Anil Ravipudi Drop a Hilarious Glimpse for January 12 Vidudala This Sankranthi!
When director Anil Ravipudi teams up with Victory Venkatesh and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, high-voltage entertainment is a given. Bringing back pure, unfiltered Telugu comedy to the festival arena, the makers of the crazy multi-starrer (previously known as #VenkyAnil5 / #NKRAR2) have officially announced its title in quintessential Ravipudi style: January 12 Vidudala.
Bankrolled on a grand scale by Sahu Garapati under Shine Screens and presented jointly by Suresh Productions, Smt. Archana, and Zee Studios, the film is locked for a worldwide theatrical release on January 12, 2027, right in time for the Sankranthi festivities.
A Wholesome EVV Tribute & A Comedy of Confusion
The title announcement video kicks off on a nostalgic note, paying homage to legendary director E.V.V. Satyanarayana with an iconic comedy nod to Appula Appa Rao, reflecting Anil Ravipudi's core comedic inspirations:
-
The Big Confusion: In the video, lead stars Venkatesh, Kalyan Ram, Keerthy Suresh, and Krithi Shetty corner Anil Ravipudi demanding the official movie title. When he instantly responds "January 12 Vidudala," the cast gets visibly annoyed, reminding him they asked for the title and not the theatrical date—only for the director to reveal with a grin that the date is the official title!
-
The Catchy Tagline: The title design carries the fun subtitle "Bava Bammardi Soujanyamtho," hinting at an explosive, laugh-a-minute dynamic between brother-in-laws played by Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram.
Anil Ravipudi’s Proven Sankranthi Magic
Sankranthi has historically been Anil Ravipudi’s strongest box-office playground (F2, Sarileru Neekevvaru, Waltair Veerayya writing/touch, and Bhagavanth Kesari momentum). With filming progressing at a breakneck pace, January 12 Vidudala is shaping up to be a festive laugh riot that caters to families across all age groups.
