Top 5 Classic Telugu Films Re-releasing In Theatres You Need To Watch

In Tollywood, re-releasing classic films is becoming increasingly popular, particularly during periods with few new releases or low box office performance. This trend not only evokes nostalgia among movie enthusiasts but has also proven to be a successful tactic. In the coming months, several older films featuring stars like Ravi Teja, Nani, Mahesh Babu, Chiranjeevi, and Pawan Kalyan will make a return to theatres.

Some of these re-releases will coincide with the stars' birthdays, while others are timed to capitalise on the lack of major new Telugu releases. Here are five of these films that you definitely shouldn’t miss.
