So excited for this! Chiranjeevi sir's comedy timing is legendary. Mussoorie is such a perfect location too - reminds me of his classic 90s films shot in hill stations. Waiting eagerly for Sankranti 2026! 🤩

Hope this lives up to the hype. Anil Ravipudi's last film was excellent, but I'm a bit concerned about the 2026 release date - that's such a long wait! The team should consider releasing it earlier if possible.

Chiranjeevi garu still has that magic at this age! His energy is unmatched. The combination with Nayanthara is always great to watch. Mussoorie schedule done means we can expect some beautiful visuals too.

As someone from Mussoorie, I'm so happy to see our beautiful town being featured in big films like this! Hope they've captured the real charm of the place. The tourism boost will be great for local businesses too.

The technical team looks solid - Bheems for music and Sameer Reddy for cinematography is a winning combo. But I hope the story is fresh. Telugu cinema needs more original content rather than just banking on star power.

Chiranjeevi sir + Nayanthara + Anil Ravipudi + Sankranti release = Blockbuster written all over it! The 90s comedy timing reference has me nostalgic already. Can't wait to see what they've cooked up in Mussoorie! 🔥
