Laila is one of the latest films set to hit the screens on February 14, 2025, as a Valentine's Day special. Vishwak Sen plays the lead role in this film, which features Kannada sensation Akanksha Singh as the female lead.
The film has now completed its censor formalities and has been awarded a U/A certificate by the board. Additionally, the makers have locked the runtime at two hours and sixteen minutes, ensuring a crisp and engaging experience for the audience.
One of the biggest highlights of Laila is that Vishwak Sen will be seen in a female avatar for the first time. The comedy revolving around his transformation is expected to be hilarious and will have the audience in splits. The film’s music is composed by Leon James, adding to the excitement.
On the business front, Laila has secured a decent pre-release deal. The film needs to collect at least ₹8 crore to break even. If it opens well at the box office, achieving this target will be easily possible.
However, the film has already found itself in a controversy. During the pre-release event, actor Pruthvi took a dig at the YCP government, which led to a political storm. In response, YCP supporters began trending the #BoycottLaila hashtag on social media. Taking the issue seriously, Vishwak Sen publicly apologized, clarifying that he had no involvement in the controversy and requesting not to drag him or the film into political matters.
Vishwak Sen has been awaiting a solid box office hit, as he has had multiple releases but no major success in recent times. Laila, directed by Ram Narayan, is crucial for him, and the director has ensured that the film is packed with clean, family-friendly comedy. Noted producer Sahu Garapati has backed this project, and Chiranjeevi himself promoted the film by attending the pre-release event.
With all the buzz and anticipation, it remains to be seen whether Laila lives up to the hype. Stay tuned for more updates!
