The production of director Anil Ravipudi's long-awaited entertainment project, starring actors Venkatesh and Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, has announced the title of the movie. On Wednesday, it was officially declared that the film is called 'January 12 Vidudala,' which brought joy among fans and cinema enthusiasts.
The title was presented through a specially created video clip. The production company Shine Screens reported that the film's release is scheduled for January 12, 2027.
The video clip began with a nostalgic tribute dedicated to legendary filmmaker EVV Satyanarayana, featuring a humorous reference to a popular comedy scene from the film 'Appula Appa Rao.' EVV remains one of Anil Ravipudi's main sources of inspiration, and the director once again demonstrated his admiration for the veteran in his unique style.
This homage smoothly transitions into the revelation of the title, setting a comedic tone for the upcoming plot. Venkatesh, Kalyan Ram, Kirti Suresh, and Kriti Shetty appear in the video, asking Anil Ravipudi about their film's title. The director answers without hesitation: 'January 12 Vidudala.' However, the actors remain confused and quickly clarify that they are asking about the title, not the release date. This is followed by a funny exchange of lines full of misunderstanding and witty remarks before he finally announces that 'January 12 Vidudala' is the official title of the film.
It is worth noting that just a few days ago, the producers showed the first look of actor Venkatesh as Lieutenant Colonel Venkat Reddy. This reveal coincided with the star celebrating 40 years in the film industry. The poster depicted Venkatesh in Indian Army camouflage uniform, wearing sunglasses and a scarf, standing next to an SUV. His composed posture and intense style create the image of a strict military officer.
On the poster, Venkatesh was identified as Lieutenant Colonel Venkat Reddy, serving in the Indian Army and specializing in counter-terrorism and hostage negotiations. Military insignia and the emblem of crossed swords in the background emphasized the military setting. The combination of Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram is expected to be a significant draw, as their contrasting personalities and lively camaraderie will bring an exciting dimension to Anil Ravipudi's signature style of entertainment.
Sources report that work on the anticipated film has been progressing rapidly, and this prestigious project is shaping up to be a large-scale entertainment product. Kirti Suresh plays opposite Venkatesh, while Kriti Shetty pairs with Kalyan Ram.
