January 12 Vidudala Registers Biggest Ever Pre Biz For Venkatesh

Venkatesh and director Anil Ravipudi are joining hands again for a Sankranti release with January 12 Vidudala along with Nandamuri Kalyanram, Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty. The film is already drawing attention in trade circles, with reports suggesting that it could record the biggest pre release business of Venkatesh’s career. The makers are targeting January 12, 2027, for its theatrical release.

The film’s theatrical rights in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are expected to cross Rs. 100 crore, according to trade reports. Distributors are showing strong interest in the project, thanks to the successful combination of Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi. If the deal goes as expected, it will mark a major milestone in the actor’s career.

The duo has delivered successful Sankranti entertainers in the past. F2, released in 2019, won audiences with its family comedy, while Sankranthiki Vasthunam became a major hit during the 2025 festive season. These films have helped build expectations for their next collaboration, especially among family audiences.

Venkatesh also appeared in an extended cameo in Anil Ravipudi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, alongside Chiranjeevi. With their past success and the festive release planned for January 12 Vidudala, expectations remain high. GV Prakash is composing the music.
