Overview
- The film began paid preview shows on June 3 with a worldwide theatrical release set for June 4, after multiple earlier schedule changes.
- Trade trackers report robust pre‑release business: India advance bookings range from about Rs 4 crore to Rs 16.6 crore depending on inclusion of block seats, and North America premiere sales are reported near or above $800,000 by several trackers.
- Andhra Pradesh issued a temporary order allowing higher ticket rates and special premieres that opened bookings there early, while Telangana delayed issuing a similar order and opened advance sales only at the last minute.
- A promotional event in Vijayawada on June 1 saw a fan breach security and approach the stage; Ram Charan’s MMA bodyguard Kevin Kunta intervened to restrain the fan, who was later allowed a controlled meeting with the actor.
- The film received a U/A certificate from the CBFC and early preview reactions praised Ram Charan’s performance, Janhvi Kapoor’s role and A.R. Rahman’s score, which traders say could boost opening‑week business and word‑of‑mouth.
