The much-awaited collaboration of Victory Venkatesh, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram and director Anil Ravipudi has finally got its official title. The film, which was earlier being referred to as #VenkyAnil5 / #NKRAR2, has been titled ‘January 12 Vidudala’. The makers unveiled the title through an entertaining video that perfectly reflects Anil Ravipudi’s trademark comic style.

The film is being produced by Sahu Garapati under the Shine Screens banner and presented by Suresh Productions, Smt. Archana and Zee Studios. The combination of Venkatesh, Kalyan Ram and Anil Ravipudi has already generated significant buzz, and the title announcement has further increased expectations.

Anil Ravipudi Pays Tribute to EVV Satyanarayana

The title announcement video begins with a nostalgic tribute to legendary filmmaker EVV Satyanarayana, who has been one of Anil Ravipudi’s major inspirations.

The video features a hilarious reference to a popular comedy sequence from ‘Appula Appa Rao’, showcasing Anil’s admiration for the veteran filmmaker. The tribute then smoothly transitions into the title reveal while setting the humorous tone of the video.

“January 12 Vidudala” – But Is It the Title or Release Date?

The video features Venkatesh, Kalyan Ram, Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty approaching Anil Ravipudi and asking him about the title of their upcoming film.

Without any hesitation, Anil replies, “January 12 Vidudala.”

The actors are initially confused and clarify that they are asking for the film’s title, not its release date. What follows is a hilarious conversation filled with confusion and witty exchanges before Anil finally reveals that ‘January 12 Vidudala’ is indeed the official title.

The title comes with the interesting tagline “Bava Bammardi Soujanyamtho,” highlighting the relationship between Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram’s characters in the story.

Sankranthi Release Locked

Interestingly, January 12 is also the film’s confirmed theatrical release date. The makers have therefore cleverly incorporated the release date into the movie’s title announcement.

Sankranthi has been a particularly successful season for Anil Ravipudi, who has repeatedly chosen the festive window for his films and delivered commercially successful entertainers. With ‘January 12 Vidudala’ also arriving during the Sankranthi season, expectations are already high.

Strong Technical Team

The film boasts an impressive technical crew. GV Prakash Kumar is composing the music, while Sameer Reddy is handling the cinematography. Tammiraju is taking care of the editing, with renowned production designer AS Prakash creating the visual world of the film. S Krishna is serving as the executive producer.

With Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram sharing the screen, Keerthy Suresh and Krithi Shetty adding further star power, and Anil Ravipudi handling the direction, ‘January 12 Vidudala’ is shaping up as a promising festive entertainer.

The hilarious title announcement has already set the tone, and audiences can now look forward to a full-fledged comedy entertainer hitting theatres on January 12.
