Dheeraj Mogilineni, who made a name for himself as a successful distributor before turning producer, has been backing small, content-driven films. He is now producing the children’s film Summer Holidays under his Dheeraj Mogilineni Entertainments banner. Directed by Srikar, the film promises to take audiences on a beautiful journey through childhood memories.

Featuring child artistes Rohan Roy, Arun and Baby Khushi in key roles, Summer Holidays is set for a theatrical release on November 6. The makers held a press meet in Hyderabad on Thursday to announce the release date.

Producer Dheeraj Mogilineni said he had initially planned to release the film in October, but things did not work out as expected. “Small films face limitations when it comes to publicity and release planning. Along with making a good film, choosing the right time to release it is also important. Rather than releasing alongside big films and facing difficulties, we decided to wait for a suitable date. Changing release dates has been challenging for us too, but we are moving forward with confidence in our film’s content. Summer Holidays will arrive in theatres on November 6, and I am sure audiences will enjoy it with their families,” said Dheeraj Mogilineni.

Rohan and Arun play the lead roles in the film. Although Summer Holidays is being promoted as a children’s film, Dheeraj believes it will appeal to adults as well by bringing back nostalgic memories. “Although it is being called a children’s film, it is actually a perfect nostalgic film. Even adults will be reminded of their childhood and the memories of visiting their grandparents’ villages during summer holidays as children and teenagers,” he said.

Dheeraj further added that the film would connect with audiences of all ages, and parents might enjoy it even more than children. “We aim to take audiences back to their childhood for two hours. We believe the film will be a hit during the Diwali festive season. In my opinion, the government should not permit ticket price hikes, as keeping ticket prices affordable is important for the survival of small films,” said Dheeraj.
