Agadha is gaining overseas momentum as its reported US release expands dramatically from an initial 14 screens to 140 screens through Moksha Movies. M.S. Raju’s supernatural thriller is preparing for a worldwide theatrical release on August 14 with distribution locked across key territories.
Agadha US Release Expands From 14 to 140 Screens
M.S. Raju’s upcoming supernatural thriller Agadha is building momentum ahead of its worldwide theatrical release on August 14, 2026, with the film reportedly securing a significantly larger rollout in the United States.
Moksha Movies is handling the film’s US distribution. According to multiple Telugu film-industry reports, the distributor initially planned to release Agadha on just 14 screens but increased the count to 140 after watching the film. The tenfold expansion is being viewed as a sign of growing distributor confidence ahead of its theatrical arrival.
The development comes after the film’s trailer generated attention for its supernatural setting, mystical imagery and unconventional storytelling. With the release date approaching, the wider US rollout could help Agadha reach a larger Telugu audience across important overseas markets.
Agadha Distribution Network Locks Key Indian Markets
The makers have also finalised the film’s theatrical arrangements across major Indian territories. M.S. Raju has opted for an independent release strategy, with Agadha being released through the exhibition networks of Geetha Arts and Annapurna Studios in the Telugu states.
V.K. Films, which is associated with Hombale Films, is handling the Karnataka release, while S Pictures will oversee distribution in Tamil Nadu. The combination of established distribution and exhibition networks gives the supernatural thriller a wider platform during the Independence Day release period.
The expanded release strategy follows reported interest from several distributors after the trailer arrived. However, the filmmaker’s decision to retain greater control over the release indicates confidence in the finished product and its theatrical prospects.
Agadha Trailer Builds Curiosity With Supernatural World
Agadha stars Kamakshi Bhaskarla and Shravan Reddy in the lead roles and is written and directed by M.S. Raju. The film has been positioned as a supernatural mystery with divine and mystical elements, extensive CGI and a reverse-chronological narrative that aims to distinguish it from conventional horror thrillers.
The promotional material has highlighted an eerie atmosphere and visually ambitious supernatural sequences, while the reverse storytelling structure has emerged as one of the project’s main talking points.
Kamakshi Bhaskarla, known for Polimera, and Shravan Reddy of Dirty Hari fame headline the cast. Kasi Visalakshi Balusu has produced Agadha under the Sri Adi Varaha Productions banner, while Ajay KR presents the film.
Agadha Worldwide Release Set for August 14
With its key distribution arrangements now in place, Agadha is preparing for a worldwide theatrical release on Friday, August 14, 2026. The reported jump from 14 to 140 US screens adds further attention to the film just days before it reaches cinemas.
Whether the expanded overseas release translates into strong box-office numbers will depend on audience response after opening, but the increased screen count and broad territorial rollout have given M.S. Raju’s supernatural thriller a stronger theatrical launch than initially planned.
