Anaganaga Oka Raju release date confirmed

Naveen Polishetty, the well-liked comic star of Telugu cinema, will light up the big screen this Sankranti with his eagerly awaited comeback in Anaganaga Oka Raju.

Polishetty, who is well-known for his distinct sense of humour and easy on-screen persona, will be the main attraction in this joyous show, which will have its theatrical debut on January 14, 2026.

The announcement came from Sithara Entertainments, who dropped a lively new video along with the exciting reveal. Accompanied by an infectious burst of energy and colourful visuals, the makers captioned the post, “The Star Entertainer @NaveenPolishety is back with a hilarious family entertainer this Sankranthi, #AnaganagaOkaRaju is blasting into theatres - January 14th, 2026!” — setting the tone for what promises to be a feel-good film for all age groups.

Naveen Polishetty has become one of Telugu cinema's most lucrative entertainers, thanks to the success of his earlier hits, which include the beloved Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya and the cult comedy Jathi Ratnalu.

Expectations for his upcoming film are understandably high, especially since it will be released during the coveted Sankranti release slot, which is typically reserved for blockbusters and family viewing. His combination of witty humour and down-to-earth charisma has won over audiences worldwide.

Meenakshi Chaudhary, who has rapidly established herself as one of the most sought-after names in Telugu cinema due to her outstanding performances in Lucky Baskhar and HIT: The Second Case, stars opposite him. Fans are excited to see how their chemistry develops in a movie that promises to be both heartwarming and humorous, and this new on-screen duo is creating a lot of buzz.

Yuvraj did the cinematography for Anaganaga Oka Raju, which was directed by Maari and had music by the always reliable Mickey J. Meyer. Sithara Entertainments is working with Fortune Four Cinemas and Srikara Studios to finance the movie.
