Amidst an absence of any major Telugu releases this week, the 2013 film Andala Rakshasi re-released in theatres on June 13, opening to a great response across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Now the makers have decided to add screenings of their film across the board, including markets like Tamil Nadu and north Indian centres like Mumbai, Pune and Delhi, among others.

Earlier on Friday, the film’s lead actors Rahul Ravindran and Naveen Chandra shared their videos and photos from Sandhya theatre in Hyderabad, where Andala Rakshasi registered housefull occupancies for many shows. Another video featuring Naveen Chandra, where he can be seen dancing and replicating his character’s moves on the big screen, is going viral.

In a separate post, Naveen Chandra shared a video, expressing his gratitude to both audience and his producers for helping him relive the 'euphoric' experience at the theatres.

The film, which also re-released in select centres in US, grossed Rs 1.12 crore worldwide on day 1, according to a post shared by the production banner’s X page.  Directed by Hanu Raghavapudi, Andala Rakshasi has acquired a cult following over the years, owing to its novel take on romantic relationships and popular soundtrack.
