Earlier this year, the film generated significant buzz with its teaser and trailer, which received a positive response from audiences. The production team’s unique promotional efforts, such as installing Goddess Varahi idols at theatres, further heightened anticipation. With Mahendragiri Varahi set for release during a festive season, expectations are high for a memorable theatrical experience.
