Sharwanand’s latest entertainer Nari Nari Naduma Murari has arrived in theatres as a special Sankranthi 2026 treat, drawing attention not just for its comedy but also for an interesting connection with Mahesh Babu’s blockbuster Sarileru Neekevvaru. Anil Sunkara, the Producer, expressed his feelings through a heartfelt letter on the eve of the film’s showing and simultaneously, untangled the bond of the films.

The flick Nari Nari Naduma Murari has got the limelight, as the director Ram Abbaraju who has worked previously on Samajavaragamana and the lead male character is Sharwanand while the female characters are by Samyuktha Menon and Sakshi Vaidya. Also, Sree Vishnu is coming in a special cameo appearance. The film had its premiere on January 14 officially with the evening shows, and it very rapidly became the talk of the town among the spectators.

The two films Sarileru Neekevvaru and Nari Nari Naduma Murari differ in that their relationship is more substantial than a mere release timing coincidence. Anil Ravipudi was at the helm for Sarileru Neekevvaru, and Anil Sunkara took the reins of production at AK Entertainments, the theatre release being at Sankranthi 2020, which later turned out to be a box office hit. Anil Sunkara’s Nari Nari Naduma Murari exactly six years later has also been released for Sankranthi—that too, both films have the same distribution network.

Seeing this strange twist of fate, Anil Sunkara used social media to tell that the distributors are identical and also to express the hope that Nari Nari Naduma Murari might recreate the festive box-office magic of Sarileru Neekevvaru. He made a comparison of film releases to childbirth, thereby bringing to notice the emotional ups and downs and the common labor of the team behind each project.

Through his touching words, the producer not only thanked the actor Sharwanand for his unwavering faith but also the director Ram Abbaraju for his understanding, and the entire AK Entertainments team for their hard toil and sacrifices. Anil Sunkara pointed out that the faith of Sharwanand in the policy of “just focusing on the film” was one of the important reasons for the project to get united.

On the other hand, Nari Nari Naduma Murari is getting good feedback on the social media platforms. Twitter mentions the film’s strong humor, catchy dialogues, and a very interesting story as its plus points. The audience is mostly writing about the script done by Ram Abbaraju, Bhanu Bhogavarapu, and Nandu and giving them the credit for providing the non-stop laughter and entertaining twists. Some viewers are even saying it’s the perfect Sankranthi entertainer and a very big comeback for Sharwanand after a long time.

The film, Nari Nari Naduma Murari, with its festive atmosphere, a familiar Sankranthi link, and the positive word-of-mouth, seems to be preparing for a very happy and long stay at the box office.
