Mangalavaram is the upcoming dark horror-thriller starring Payal Rajput in the lead role. The movie is co-written, produced, and directed by Ajay Bhupathi. This is the first pan-India film for the director and the actress after their epic 'RX 100.'

Mangalavaram is going to hit the screens worldwide on November 17. Allu Arjun recently wished the team good luck by speaking at the pre-release event in Hyderabad, where he expressed confidence in the film's theatrical release.

Speaking about how he named the film, Ajay said, "There is a belief that Mangalavaram (Tuesday) is not a good day. But Tuesday is a good day and is called 'Jayavaram.' Earlier, Tuesday was our official holiday until Britishers changed it to Sunday.

When I announced the film's title, senior director Vamsy called me up and appreciated my decision to name the film Mangalavaram. He even shared that he wanted to name one of his films the same but couldn't due to producers' sentiments. I felt really happy and positive after that phone call."
