With his last two films—‘Touch Chesi Chudu’ and ‘Nela Ticket’—going out like the briefest of candles at the ticket counters, Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja is pinning high hopes on ‘Amar Akbar Anthony’. Having united with his lucky mascot Sreenu Vaitla, with whom he delivered decent hits like ‘Venky’ and ‘Dubai Sreenu’, the film, telugu360.com has learnt, will be releasing on September 28.

Recently, some talkie portions (in Hyatt) and a song (in Annapurna) were shot in Hyderabad. The extensive US schedule, we hear, will be wrapped up by September 2, post which the unit will work at a jet speed on post-production to release the flick for September 28. “It’s the best date the makers have and they are looking at it seriously as of now. If they delay it further, they’d be required to clash with NTR’s ‘Aravinda Sametha Raghava’ which has already booked its berth for October 2nd week. Mythri Movie Makers want to avert the clash as they share a great relation with Tarak and have told Vaitla to complete the proceedings on time so that there’d be a two-week gap between both the anticipated films,” said a source.

‘Amar Akbar Anthony’, a full-fledged comic entertainer, with Ileana alongside Ravi Teja, has music by SS Thaman. Sunil and a battery of other noted comedians like Jayaprakash Reddy, Srinivas Reddy, Vennela Kishore and Shakalaka Shankar are also a part of the cast.
