Superstar Mahesh Babu, known for his consistent box office successes, was expected to make an appearance at the pre-release event for the upcoming film Srinivasa Mangapuram, which features his nephew Jayakrishna Ghattamaneni in the lead role. However, the event, initially planned as a grand affair, has been cancelled due to Mahesh Babu's unavailability.
Srinivasa Mangapuram marks Jayakrishna Ghattamaneni’s debut as a lead actor, with the film directed by Ajay Bhupathi, who has previously delivered notable mass entertainers. The film also stars Rasha Thadani and features veteran actor Mohan Babu in a significant role. The project is produced by Gemini Kiran and Ashwini Dutt, both well-known names in Telugu cinema production circles.
The cancellation of the pre-release event has left many Ghattamaneni family fans disappointed, as they were looking forward to seeing Mahesh Babu lending his support to his nephew’s launch. Instead of the originally planned gathering, the team will hold a press meet, which will be attended by the main cast and crew. According to updates, a special videobyte from Mahesh Babu will be released before the film’s theatrical debut, offering some consolation to fans eager for his endorsement.
Srinivasa Mangapuram is set to release in theatres on July 30th, and the team is now focusing on alternative promotional strategies to build momentum ahead of the film’s arrival.
