\u201cCome with your families to watch \u2018Mithra Mandali\u2019 \u2014 we promise heartfelt laughter,\u201d says Bunny Vas at the Pre-release Press Meet.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Produced by Kalyan Manthena, Bhanu Pratap, and Dr. Vijender Reddy Teegala under the banner of Sapta Ashwa Media Works and presented by Bunny Vas under BV Works, *Mithra Mandali* stars Priyadarshi and Niharika NM in the lead roles. Directed by Vijeyender, the film also features Brahmanandam, Vennela Kishore, Satya, Vishnu Oi, Ragh Mayur, Prasad Behara, and VTV Ganesh in key roles. The film releases on **October 16**, with **paid premieres on October 15** owing to the team\u2019s confidence in the content. Ahead of the premieres, the team interacted with the media at the pre-release press meet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bunny Vas <\/span>said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re getting a great response for *Mithra Mandali* premieres. The demand is increasing, and we\u2019re adding more screens. Even second shows are in demand, including in Vijayawada and Vizag. We strongly believe the positive word of mouth from the premieres will boost us further.<\/span>
\nIf Diwali is on the 21st, then the festival of laughter begins this evening with our premieres. Bring your families \u2014 we\u2019ll make sure you laugh wholeheartedly. I can confidently say you\u2019ll leave the theatre with a smile. Till now, we\u2019ve done our best to make a good film. I thank my entire team and the media for their support.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Priyadarshi<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c*Mithra Mandali* is a complete laugh riot. There\u2019s so much content for audiences and meme creators alike. I even got to dance in this one! Everything we did fits perfectly with the script. Bunny Vas sir is someone who lives and breathes cinema \u2014 he\u2019s been working sleeplessly for the past ten days. I\u2019ve learned so much from him. He\u2019s the real hero of this film.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Niharika NM <\/span>said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m grateful to the team for giving me such a wonderful role in *Mithra Mandali*. Thank you to the director for imagining me in this character. This is my first Telugu film, and I\u2019m eagerly waiting to see the audience\u2019s reaction tonight. I\u2019ve prayed a hundred times today that the film becomes a big hit and brings success to everyone involved.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Director Vijeyender<\/span> said:<\/span>
\n\u201cWhen I first wrote *Mithra Mandali*, I detailed how each character should act and speak. As this is my first film, handling so many actors was challenging. But Bunny Vas sir supported me throughout and made it easier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

During the Q&A, Bunny Vas further added<\/span>:<\/span><\/p>\n

* \u201cThe *Mithra Mandali* trailer was well received by many. We planned premieres because of our confidence in the content. Even though we\u2019re screening on a Wednesday evening, the response has been fantastic \u2014 shows are going full, and as one fills up, we open another. Yes, premieres are a risk, but I\u2019m ready to take it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

* \u201cSome are deliberately running a negative campaign against our film. Many from our team have been working sleeplessly, giving their all, and still, people try to spread negativity. We know who\u2019s behind it, but none of us have reacted. That\u2019s why I spoke out emotionally \u2014 and I received many calls saying, \u2018You spoke perfectly.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

* \u201cI also heard that some outsiders are approaching producers to join this negative wave, and a few are unknowingly supporting it. Trying to suppress another film is wrong. In politics, such strategies might exist, but not in cinema. Good films always find success. Thinking that your movie will only succeed if another fails is foolish.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

* \u201cEven with the theatres I control, I\u2019ve allotted shows for other films too \u2014 two for mine, two for others. I genuinely want every film to do well.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

* \u201cWhen director Vijeyender narrated the story, I laughed for four hours straight. From the voiceover to the title, for the full 2 hours and 12 minutes, this film will have you in splits. Yes, there are a few fun satires, but they\u2019re made only for humor, not to insult or offend anyone. Vijeyender wrote the story with great balance. If you watch without judgment, you\u2019ll surely enjoy it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

* \u201cWe spent more than initially planned \u2014 a big ensemble cast, their schedules, and even the industry strike affected our budget. But once you take up a film, you must finish it no matter the challenges. I\u2019m confident this movie will bring us great returns.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

* \u201cPlatforms like BookMyShow display likes and ratings arbitrarily. Who\u2019s liking? On what basis are ratings given? There\u2019s no transparency. It\u2019s concerning when even ticketing platforms show misleading ratings. We\u2019ve even discussed this issue at the Chamber level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
