Sampoornesh Babu to headline Mandela Telugu remake 

Comic actor Sampoornesh Babu, best known for his performances in Hrudaya Kaleyam and Kobbari Matta, will be starring next in Martin Luther King, a political satire. To the uninitiated, Martin Luther King is the official Telugu remake of the 2021 Madonne Ashwin film Mandela, which starred Yogi Babu in the lead role. Mandela is a story of how one barber’s vote decides the fate of an election in a village. 

Martin Luther King is the debut directorial venture of Puja Kolluru. The film is scheduled to release on October 27. Martin Luther King is produced by Mahayana Motion Pictures, while it is presented by Reliance Entertainment and Y Not Studios. Venkatesh Maha, who has previously made the films Care Of Kancherapalem and Uma Maheshwara Ugra Roopasya will be serving as the creative producer of Martin Luther King, while S Sashikanth and Chakravarthy Ramachandra are credited as the film’s producers. Venkatesh Maha is also acting in the film, along with Naresh and Sharanya Pradeep in key roles. It may be noted that Y Not Studios has also produced Mandela.
