Excellent response to the celebrity premiere show of ‘Sarangapani Jathakam’
After a series of hits, Priyadarshi has now scored another hit with ‘Sarangapani Jathakam’. Produced by Sivalenka Krishna Prasad under the Sridevi Movies banner and directed by Indraganti Mohan Krishna, this film was released to audiences on April 25th.

‘Sarangapani Jathakam’ received good word-of-mouth. Following this, the film unit organized a special show for celebrities on Saturday. MS Raju, Harish Shankar, Sai Rajesh, Sudheer Babu, Kona Venkat, Eesha Rebba, BVS Ravi, and the entire film team attended this celebrity show.

The dialogues are superb. It’s a refreshing film like a lemonade in summer. ‘Sarangapani Jathakam’ would be what it would be like if Jandhyala directed a Hitchcock film. Every character, be it Priyadarshi, Roopa, Vennela Kishore, or Viva Harsha, captivates everyone.

I haven’t seen such a good film in recent times. Thanks to producer Sivalenka Krishna Prasad for delivering such a wonderful film. I hope the audience makes this movie an even bigger success.”

I felt like I watched a good movie after a long time. It’s a movie that the whole family can come and enjoy comfortably.”

Kona Venkat said, “We just watched ‘Sarangapani Jathakam’. Jandhyala’s mark was evident. The movie is amazing. You will keep laughing every moment, every scene. This is a fun-tastic movie. Everyone watch it, laugh, and enjoy.”

BVS Ravi said, “After a long time, I watched every scene and every frame without looking at my phone. Every character is amazing. They made me laugh heartily. I watched a good movie after a long time. Congratulations to Indraganti. Everyone must watch this movie.”
