Anaganaga Oka Raju is shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases of Sankranthi 2026, capturing audience attention with its vibrant promotions and refreshing concept. Presented by Srikara Studios and produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya, the film comes from the trusted banners Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. The project is headlined by star performer Naveen Polishetty, who has delivered three consecutive hits, and is now stepping into dual roles—as the film’s lead actor and director. Joining him is the talented Meenakshi Chowdhury, who plays the female lead.
The film’s first song, ‘Bhimavaram Balma’, composed by Mickey J. Meyer, was launched in a grand event at S.R.K.R. Engineering College, Bhimavaram. The ceremony witnessed an electrifying atmosphere with thousands of enthusiastic students cheering for the team. Naveen Polishetty’s dramatic entry on a bullock cart added a celebratory Sankranthi touch to the evening and became a major highlight. The lead pair then danced to the song on stage, raising the energy levels and engaging the audience throughout the event.
The song marks a special milestone as Naveen Polishetty’s first-ever attempt as a playback singer. His energetic singing, combined with expressive performance and chemistry with Meenakshi Chowdhury, impressed both fans and guests. The music by Mickey J. Meyer brings a festive feel to the track, making it instantly catchy. Adding to this is Chandrabose’s lyrical magic, with simple, memorable words that are easy to sing. The graceful vocals of Nutana Mohan and dynamic choreography by Shekhar Master further elevate the song, ensuring it becomes a crowd favorite during the festive season.
Speaking at the event, Naveen expressed heartfelt gratitude to his fans, acknowledging their support through his journey and recovery from an accident. He shared his excitement about returning to the screen with a film that blends comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment—elements he personally loves in Telugu cinema. Actress Meenakshi Chowdhury praised the team and highlighted how special it feels to bring a Sankranthi-themed song to Bhimavaram, a place symbolic of festive celebrations. Actor Rangasthalam Mahesh also appreciated Naveen’s dedication and predicted that the film would be a big festive entertainer.
