Several highly anticipated Telugu movies have had to face the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic in the last 3 years. We saw pan-India films like SS Rajamouli’ magnum opus RRR and Radhe Shyam’s release dates getting postponed. Power Star Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati starrer upcoming film Bheemla Nayak was no exception to the current circumstances. Pawan Kalyan had been shooting for this film with tremendous zeal.
The producers of Bheemla Nayak had finalized 12thJanuary as the release date first. However, the release was postponed further. A new date of 25th February was eventually decided. As the danger of Coronavirus is still looming large, it seems that Bheemla Nayak will have to wait a lot longer than the said date. Apparently Bheemla Nayak’ run time has been locked at 130 minutes i.e. 2 hours 10 minutes. This is the shortest run-time for any of Pawan Kalyan starrer films till date.
Bheemla Nayak is a remake of Malayalam movie Ayyappanum Koshiyum, which was a blockbuster at the box office. The original version Ayyappanum Koshiyum had a run time of around 3 hours. But the remake version has a run time of around just 130 minutes.
According to the latest report, the rights to Saagar K Chandra’ magnum opus have been sold for Rs 40 Cr. The audio rights of this film have also been grabbed by Aditya Music for 5.04 Cr.
