Directed by Trivikram Srinivas and originally released on August 10, 2005, Athadu remains one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful films in Mahesh Babu’s career. Produced by the Jayabheri banner, the film is widely praised for its gripping narrative, razor-sharp dialogues, and Mahesh Babu’s stylish performance. The movie continues to enjoy popularity through television broadcasts and streaming platforms.
The re-release aims to offer audiences a refreshed cinematic experience with enhanced visuals and sound.
