Released as a Sankranthi festival treat on January 14, Anaganaga Oka Raju has won the hearts of Telugu audiences across the globe. Starring star entertainer Naveen Polishetty in the lead, the film has crossed \u20b9100+ crore gross worldwide, emerging as a sensational blockbuster. Presented by Srikara Studios and produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, the film is directed by debutant Mari, with Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arriving with massive expectations, Anaganaga Oka Raju not only delivered non-stop laughter but also touched hearts with its emotional moments, standing tall as the Sankranthi winner. To mark this grand success, a celebratory success event was held on Friday evening at Ramanaidu Studios, Hyderabad. Renowned producer and TFDC Chairman Dil Raju and popular director Bobby Kolli attended as chief guests. Memorabilia were presented to everyone who contributed to the film\u2019s success, including cast, technicians, and distributors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dil Raju<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations to the entire team of Anaganaga Oka Raju. Special appreciation to producer Naga Vamsi. Vamsi truly loves cinema, and when you love cinema this deeply, success naturally follows. Many of us should learn from him. Congratulations to director Mari, Chinmayi, Mickey J. Meyer, and the entire team. Meenakshi delivered back-to-back Sankranthi successes with Sankranthiki Vastunnam last year and now Anaganaga Oka Raju. Naveen carried this film entirely on his shoulders. I watched the film a day before release and was confident it would be a hit. From start to finish, Naveen works day and night without compromise. From Life Is Beautiful to now, I\u2019ve seen his journey closely. Everyone saying that this film\u2019s success is mainly because of Naveen makes me very happy. This film is a perfect example of how hard work always gets rewarded.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Director Bobby Kolli<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey say heroes are born when timing works in their favour. But Naveen is a hero who mastered timing itself. A year ago, after a serious accident, even while recovering, he spoke to me about finding great writers and making a blockbuster. That\u2019s his passion for cinema. Watching the film, I felt he never dropped his energy even for a single frame. That energy comes from his hard work and hunger. He will reach even greater heights. Recently, Megastar Chiranjeevi told me how much he liked Anaganaga Oka Raju and praised Naveen\u2019s incredible energy, saying he\u2019s his favourite among the new generation. Even while enjoying his own success, Chiranjeevi garu celebrated Naveen\u2019s success. That itself is a huge achievement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Naveen Polishetty <\/span>said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a dialogue in our film that says Raju\u2019s wedding will be remembered for seven generations on both sides. In the same way, this Sankranthi will be remembered by all of us forever. This is a rare Sankranthi in Telugu cinema history. Many wondered whether our film would survive amidst big releases. The fact that it stood strong and became a grand success is only because of Telugu audiences. I bow my head in gratitude to audiences across the world who trusted a Sithara Entertainments film, trusted Naga Vamsi garu, and trusted me enough to come to theatres. Without you, there is no Naveen Polishetty.<\/span><\/p>\n

I think about three people when I hear a story: the producer, the distributors and exhibitors, and the audience who spends their hard-earned money. I always want to respect all three. I could do multiple films a year, but I prefer taking time to make a good film.<\/span><\/p>\n

Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, Jathi Ratnalu, Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty, and now Anaganaga Oka Raju four consecutive successes. Many told me that no one from YouTube could become a hero. Yet Telugu audiences gave me four straight blockbusters. This film carries a strong message too: nothing comes without hard work. I thank Naga Vamsi garu for trusting us and giving us time. I also thank Chinna Babu garu and Trivikram garu for their encouragement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coming from a middle-class family, inspired by Megastar Chiranjeevi garu, releasing alongside his film and succeeding is a dream moment. Hearing that Chiranjeevi garu spoke about me brought tears to my eyes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Meenakshi Chaudhary<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis Sankranthi is extra special for me. I thank audiences for showering so much love and for making this film such a big success.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Producer Naga Vamsi<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen distributors say they made profits, that itself is a huge victory for a producer. Hearing that everyone is happy gives me immense satisfaction.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Director Maari <\/span>said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cReleasing a film during Sankranthi itself felt special, and achieving \u20b9100+ crore gross makes it unforgettable. I\u2019m forever grateful to Naveen garu for this opportunity. Seeing audiences enjoy the film in theatres made all our struggles worthwhile.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer and Creative Director Chinmayi<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe worked extremely hard for this film. The audience rewarding us with such massive success means everything to us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lyricist Chandrabose<\/span> said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wrote \u2018Anaganaga\u2019 in a grand and rich way for Raju Gari Pelliro, and the film has achieved exactly that kind of grand success. Naveen\u2019s dedication is inspiring.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The event, hosted by popular anchor Suma Kanakala, concluded on a joyful note. Cinematographer Yuvaraj, art director Gandhi, editor Vamsi, and actors Chandra, Bhadram, Santosh and others also attended, expressing gratitude to audiences for the film\u2019s success.<\/span><\/p>\n
