"This isn't just a movie release - it's a historic moment for Telugu cinema," shared Rajesh Kumar, a fan who traveled from Hyderabad to Chennai specifically for the first show. "We grew up watching Chiranjeevi sir's films. This final chapter deserves to be witnessed in theaters with fellow devotees."
Theatre Management Overwhelmed by Response
Cinema owners reported unprecedented advance bookings, with many theaters adding special early morning shows to accommodate the massive demand. Several multiplexes arranged additional security and made special arrangements to handle the overwhelming crowd.
"In my thirty years of theater management, I've never witnessed such emotional scenes for a film release," noted Suresh Menon, manager of a prominent Chennai multiplex. "Fans are treating this not just as entertainment, but as a cultural event that marks the end of an era."
