The forthcoming re-release of Mahesh Babu's film "Murari" is causing a stir, with advance ticket sales already reaching ₹2 crores in the Telugu states, just four days before its launch. This impressive pre-sales figure underscores the film’s lasting appeal and the high expectations for its return to cinemas.

First released in 2001, "Murari," directed by Krishna Vamsi, stars Mahesh Babu in a captivating role. The film is scheduled for a 4K resolution re-release on August 9, aligning with Mahesh Babu's birthday. This re-release has already made headlines for setting a record as the fastest Telugu film to achieve such high pre-sales figures, bringing renewed excitement to distributors.

Previously, the re-releases of many major films featuring current generation stars did not fare well, leading the distribution sector to believe that re-releases were no longer successful. However, "Murari" has revived their hopes.

The buzz around "Murari" is part of a broader trend in the Telugu film industry, where classic films are being reintroduced to theaters. This success suggests that more re-releases may follow in the near future.
