Anaganaga Oka Raju is a village drama that has been in the making for quite some time. The comedy caper features Naveen Polishetty and Meenakshi Chaudhary in the lead roles. Nag Raj Kottu plays a key role in the film, which also features Rao Ramesh in an important part. The makers have revealed that a few other noted actors will be kept as a surprise for audiences to discover in theatres.
Set in the Godavari region, Anaganaga Oka Raju revolves around a carefree man with no clear goals in life. Things take an interesting turn when he falls in love with a beautiful girl, played by Meenakshi Chaudhary. To win her over, he must contest and win the local body elections. The challenges he faces in both love and politics form the crux of the story, which, according to director Maari, is presented in a highly entertaining and humorous manner.
Anaganaga Oka Raju is a low-budget film that has been in production for a long time, which has slightly increased the overall costs. As per the latest update, the film has been made on a budget of Rs 8 crore. With a limited cast and controlled production expenses, the makers have managed to keep the budget in check.
The film is a clean entertainer with simple comedy. It has been awarded a U certificate by the censor board, making it suitable for family audiences. Early viewers have appreciated the makers for delivering a fun-filled film with relatable emotions. The runtime has been locked at two hours and twenty minutes, which ensures a crisp and engaging watch.
Backed by producer Naga Vamsi, the makers of DJ Tillu smartly locked the OTT deal even before the film went on floors. Netflix has acquired the digital rights for a fancy price, putting the film in the profit zone even before its theatrical release. Naveen Polishetty’s films enjoy strong demand on OTT platforms, and the makers have successfully capitalized on this trend.
Anaganaga Oka Raju is releasing during the highly competitive Sankranthi season. By the time the film arrives in theatres, The Raja Saab and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu would have already been released. Additionally, Sharwanand’s Nari Nari Naduma Murari is also slated to hit the screens on January 14, 2026. With stiff competition at the box office, Naveen Polishetty’s film will need a strong opening to emerge as a winner. Let’s wait and watch how it performs.
