Come Sankranthi, you will see big releases hitting the screens in Telugu. It happens every year and this time, a non-star Nandamuri hero is going to brave it at the box-office.

He is Nandamuri Kalyanram, whose family entertainer 'Entha Manchivadavura' has locked its release date as January 15. Directed by Satish Vegesna, it is going to compete with Mahesh Babu's 'Sarileru Neekevvaru', Allu Arjun-Trivikram Srinivas' 'Ala Vaikunthapuramlo', Rajinikanth's 'Darbar' (unless it is postponed because of what happened to 'Peta' this year in Telugu), and Nandamuri Balakrishna's film with KS Ravikumar.

Kalyanram's producers are confident about the content. Director Vegesna's 'Shatamanam Bhavati' became a big hit in 2017 when it locked horns with 'Khaidi No. 150' and 'Gautamiputra Satakarni'.
