Venkatesh-Maruthi's Babu Bangaram Gets A Release Date

Venkatesh's upcoming comedy drama, Babu Bangaram, which is currently on the floors, is most likely to hit the screens on July 1 worldwide, a source said.

"As per the current plan, the makers want to release the film on July 1. So far, no other big releases have locked this date and, hence, producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi feels it will be the perfect occasion to release the film," said a source.

Directed by Dasari Maruthi, the film features Venkatesh in the role of a funny police officer. This is the first time the duo has joined hands. Also starring Nayanthara, this entertainer has music by Ghibran.

After wrapping up this project, Venkatesh will start work on the Telugu remake of R. Madhavan's Saala Khadoos. Apparently, reports also add that Venkatesh might also do another remake in the production of Bandla Ganesh.

Over the years, Venkatesh has starred in several remakes such as Gharshana, Masala, Gopala Gopala and Drushyam. "The Telugu remake rights of Two Countries have been acquired by producer Bandla Ganesh. The makers are keen to rope in Venkatesh and have already initiated talks with him," a source close to the producer revealed.
