Actor Naveen Polishetty, who stars opposite Meenakshi Chaudhary in director Maari’s upcoming romantic comedy, ‘Anaganaga Oka Raju’, has taken on a new role as a singer. He will be lending his voice to the film’s single, ‘Bhimavaram Balma’.
Naveen announced this exciting news on his X timeline, sharing a hilarious video clip. He wrote, “ANAGANAGA OKA SINGER Jaanejigars. First song from #AnaganagaOkaRaju releasing on Nov 27th. Sankranthi Pandaga ki dance stepulu to ready ga undandi. It’s time for #BhimavaramBalma. @MickeyJMeyer blast @Meenakshiioffl @vamsi84 @SitharaEnts.”
At the end of the funny video, the makers confirmed, “First time, Naveen Polishetty as playback singer. First song ‘Bhimavaram Balma’ out on November 27.”
The film is set to hit theaters on January 14 next year, coinciding with the Sankranthi festival.
Since its announcement in January 2022, the film has generated considerable buzz. Initially, the title was revealed through a teaser, alongside the first look of Naveen Polishetty, hinting that it would be a full-fledged comedy.
Naveen plays Raju, a pompous and self-important bridegroom preparing for his wedding. Fans have eagerly anticipated the film, even as many changes have occurred in its development.
Last December, the production team released a witty teaser, termed a ‘Pre-wedding video’, in honor of Naveen Polishetty’s birthday. The clip featured wedding guests ready to enjoy lavish meals from golden plates. A humorous twist arises when a guest’s sweet Kaju Kathili is intercepted by a supervisor, emphasizing the extravagant theme of Raju’s wedding.
Though the teaser originally hinted at a 2025 release, the date has now been pushed to January 14, 2026.
Directed by Maari, the film features cinematography by J Yuvraj and music by Mickey J Meyer. It is produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas.
