Anand Deverakonda’s Epic Marks His First A-Rated Film

Anand Deverakonda’s latest film, Epic, has officially received an A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), making it the actor’s first film to be classified for adults only. The romantic drama, directed by Aditya Hasan and produced by Sithara Entertainments, features Vaishnavi Chaitanya as the female lead.

Anand Deverakonda, who has steadily built his career with a string of youthful and family-friendly roles, now ventures into more mature territory with Epic. The film’s A rating sets it apart from his previous projects, signaling a shift in the kind of stories he is choosing to tell. According to the makers, they remain confident about the film’s content and believe it will resonate with the audience despite the adult certification.

Promotional material for Epic has generated a decent response on social media, with viewers expressing curiosity about the film’s bold approach. However, with several new releases scheduled for the same week, strong word of mouth will be crucial for Epic to stand out at the box office.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya would be teaming up for this project under Aditya Hasan’s direction. The film was scheduled for release on September 11, adding to the excitement among Telugu moviegoers. As the release date approaches, all attention is on how audiences will receive Anand’s first A-rated outing.
