Hyderabad, August 15 — The makers of director Janakiram Marella’s upcoming Telugu action entertainer Comrade Kalyan, starring Sree Vishnu and Mahima Nambiar, on Saturday announced that the film will hit screens worldwide on October 9 this year.

Taking to social media to share the release-date announcement poster, Sree Vishnu wrote: “Comrades! OCTOBER 9th it is. Let’s say #LOLSalaam in theatres with our #ComradeKalyan.”

Sources say that Sree Vishnu, who has carved a niche with unconventional stories and entertaining performances, is looking to enthrall audiences with Comrade Kalyan, an action-packed film set against a distinctive backdrop.

Directed by Janakiram Marella and presented by Kona Venkat, the film is being produced by Venkata Krishna Karnati and Seetha Karnati under the banner of Skanda Vahana Motion Pictures LLP.

The story, set on the Andhra-Odisha border in 1992, features a substantial supporting cast. Apart from Sree Vishnu and Mahima Nambiar, the film includes Tamil actress Radhika Sarathkumar, Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko and Upendra Limaye in pivotal roles.

In June this year, the makers released the first single from the film, titled Oriya Pilla (Oriya girl). The song offered a glimpse into the romantic strand of the narrative.

Composed by Vijay Bulganin, Oriya Pilla is a gentle melody that relies on simplicity and emotion. Sid Sriram’s vocals and Bhaskarabhatla’s lyrics capture the feelings of a young man enchanted by an Oriya girl, and the track quickly gained popularity.

On the technical front, the film has cinematography by Sai Sriram and music by Vijay Bulganin. Chota K Prasad is handling the editing. With the release locked for October 9, Comrade Kalyan is positioning itself as a major theatrical offering for the autumn season.
