- Producers confirmed no ticket hike in Telangana despite a Supreme Court stay enabling one, while Andhra Pradesh approved higher prices and benefit shows; there will be no night premieres.
- Producer Naveen Yerneni said Kalyan declined further remuneration beyond a nominal advance and worked extended 24–48 hour stretches, and the star says principal filming finished in about 40–45 days.
- The release clashes with Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2, which exhibitors say has more multiplex screens in key Telugu regions, as trade values peg pre‑release theatrical business near Rs 105 crore in the Telugu states and about Rs 126 crore worldwide.
