Ahead of Sai Dharam Tej’s Republic release, Nani pens a note congratulating the film’s team

As Sai Dharam Tej’s political thriller Republic gears up for a theatrical release on October 1, Nani took to Twitter to congratulate the team. Nani had watched the film at a special screening held recently. 

In the tweet, the Tuck Jagadish actor said, all the kindness Dharam Tej has shown has come back in the form of prayers. Nani also praised the team and director Deva Katta, saying that Republic is the director’s announcement that he is back in the game.

The tweet is an emotional one for the fans, following Dharam Tej’s bike accident. The actor is now recovering as revealed by music composer and friend S Thaman.

Republic is touted as a high-voltage political thriller and will centre around an honest IAS officer trying to uphold the law. The trailer for the movie, which has over 11 million views on YouTube, hints at the star going against corrupt politicians, goons and many others.

The film will also feature Aishwarya Rajesh, Jagapathi Babu, Ramya Krishna and Rahul Ramakrishna.

Director Deva Katta, who last helmed the 2019 political thriller Prassthanam starring Sanjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff, has also written the film.
