Santosh Shoban and Manasa Varanasi starrer “Couple Friendly” recently released in theatres and is receiving a super-hit response. With strong support from youth and family audiences, the film has emerged as a successful romantic entertainer. The movie collected ₹1.89 crores gross worldwide on Day 1. Presented by UV Creations and produced by UV Concepts in Telugu and Tamil, the film has Ajay Kumar Raju P. as co-producer and is directed by Ashwin Chandrasekhar. Passionate producer and distributor Dheeraj Mogilineni released the film in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. A success meet for the film was held today in Hyderabad.
Distributor Dheeraj Mogilineni said, “Before the release of Couple Friendly, I said this would become a memorable love story for audiences. Viewers have made my words come true by giving the film a good success. The credit first goes to director Ashwin, who made the film honestly. UV Vamsi and Vikky produced the film with great passion and took care of every detail like a big-budget project.
Santosh Shoban is a talented actor, and he should become a go-to name for love stories. Many filmmakers I spoke to feel the same. Santosh, Manasa, UV Concepts, and I will collaborate again on another love story, which we plan to release next Valentine’s Day. We will also run a contest to share this love with audiences by gifting something they wished to give their partners. We are planning a promotional tour with Santosh and Manasa.”
Producer Ajay Kumar Raju P. said, “When we heard the story of Couple Friendly, we decided to produce it in a very honest and genuine way. Santosh and Manasa also focused completely on this project without taking up other films. The movie was ready six months ago, but we waited to release it during Valentine’s season. Thanks to everyone who made this film a success.”
Director Ashwin Chandrasekhar said, “Thanks to the media for helping our film reach audiences widely. With your support, the film is reaching greater heights. I visited theatres with our team and watched audience reactions, the response has been superb. We hope this support continues.”
Heroine Manasa Varanasi said, “The response from premieres itself has given us immense happiness. Audience feedback, media reviews, and social-media reactions are overwhelming. Many people are sharing their personal love moments with us. Like Santosh, I was also waiting for a good opportunity. This film gave us the story we wanted to do. Dheeraj garu brought great energy to the film, Ajay garu put in a lot of effort, and every member of our team contributed to this success.”
Hero Santosh Shoban said, “Seeing Housefull boards in theatres has always been our dream. I feel very happy seeing them now. I have been waiting for such success for years. Once again, it is proven that audiences support honest storytelling. UV is like family to me, and Ajay anna deserves a lot of credit for this success. Dheeraj garu is visiting theatres with even more energy than us. Manasa will do many more good films, she is the soul of this movie. We are also receiving appreciation for introducing a good director like Ashwin to Telugu cinema. The success of Couple Friendly has given me a sense of responsibility, and I want to continue making films that audiences will love.”
