Ahead of the release of 'Bharat Ane Nenu' on April 20, the makers say that the mania is at an all-time high.  'BAN' is one among the most awaited Telugu films ever, they say.  Directed by Koratala Siva, it has Mahesh Babu playing the hero and Kiara Advani playing the heroine.  

"The demand for the tickets has been huge and AP, Telangana will witness early morning shows widely all over. Mahesh's portrayal as Chief Minister, Koratala Siva's presentation, technical aspects and songs along with the second half are the expected highlights of Bharat Ane Nenu," DVV Entertainments says.

The makers are spending a bomb on the film's promotions (Rs. 3 Cr).  

"The film is expected to take a huge opening in overseas with over 2000 premieres in the US," the makers say.  "All the Keys are locked till Apr 19 2:45pm EST. So they can be validated but not playable till that time, But this is the first time a big film is set for release 4 days before its release in overseas," a statement from Great India Films says.
