Tollywood got a new trend of re-releasing the super hit films of the stars. After Pokiri and Jalsa did exceptionally well, Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Chennakesava Reddy was digitally remastered and released yesterday on the eve of the film completing 20 years. The film has performed well in USA and witnessed packed houses. The numbers are pretty average across the Telugu states. Chennakesava Reddy is the highest grosser in USA among the re-released Telugu films. Chennakesava Reddy is directed by VV Vinayak and the film presented Balakrishna in a dual role.

All the three new releases Krishna Vrinda Vihari, Alluri and Dongallunnaru Jagratha fell flat and failed to report decent numbers on Friday and Saturday. Avatar re-released and the film reported decent numbers in cities and multiplexes. No Telugu films are releasing next weekend. Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan 1 and Dhanush’s Nene Vasthunna are releasing on Friday.

It’s time for the yesteryear super hits of the stars to re-release and this turned out to be a new trend in Telugu cinema. After Pokiri for Mahesh Babu and Jalsa for Pawan Kalyan, Balakrishna’s Chennakesava Reddy is heading for a grand re-release. On the occasion of the film completing 20 years, his fans are gearing up to celebrate through a re-release. Chennakesava Reddy will release on September 24th and 25th across the globe.

The advance sales for the film are very good in USA and Australia. The advance bookings in the Telugu states are yet to be opened. The film will be screened on the night of September 24th across several international locations. This would be the biggest celebration for the fans for a Nandamuri Balakrishna’s film. Chennakesava Reddy is an action entertainer directed by VV Vinayak. Balakrishna played a dual role and Tabu, Shriya Saran played the heroines.
