One of the much-anticipated re-releases for Tollywood audiences and movie lovers is the film Shankar Dada MBBS. This 2004 comedy-drama, starring Megastar Chiranjeevi, was a massive hit for its blend of humour and emotion. Directed by Jayanth C. Paranji, the film is a remake of the Bollywood hit Munnabhai MBBS, with Sonali Bendre playing the female lead. Chiranjeevi’s portrayal of Shankar Dada and Srikant’s role as ATM added to the film’s charm. In the film, Chiranjeevi’s humorous use of English words mixed with Telugu left audiences in splits in theatres. The movie also effectively captured a range of emotions encountered in life, touching the hearts of many. Another highlight of the film is the music composed by Devi Sri Prasad, which added to its appeal. The re-release of Shankar Dada MBBS is scheduled to coincide with Megastar Chiranjeevi’s birthday on August 22nd. It will hit theatres in an extensive release, with distributors planning to launch it in a large number of theatres. J.R.K. Pictures is bringing this classic back to the audience.
