“The trailer is very good and looks very promising. Director Phani Pradeep Dhulipudi (Munna) is a long-time friend of mine; he is a gentle soul in the industry and possesses great musical knowledge. Everyone knows how big of a hit the song ‘Neeli Neeli Aakasham’ from his first film was. Now, he is coming before us with Bad Girlz.

He has attempted to convey a good message in a fresh way. Making a film with five new actresses and completing it without compromising on production values is a testament to his passion. While the title is Bad Girlz, the film itself is very positive.

The movie is releasing on December 25th, and everyone has worked very hard. Concept-based films like this, which give importance to women, must succeed.

This film is based on the concept of how today’s girls are, their way of thinking, and what they desire. Please watch it and support ‘Bad Girls’.”

The film feels very new and fresh. Recently, director Buchi Babu Sana released our teaser, which received a fantastic response.

Now, the theatrical trailer has been launched by Maruthi, the director of the upcoming film The Raja Saab. After watching the trailer, he praised it highly.

We are releasing the film as a Christmas gift on December 25th. It is a solid entertainer with excellent music by Anup Rubens and lyrics for all songs penned by Oscar-winner Chandra Bose.
