M S Raju’s Agadha is being promoted for a worldwide theatrical release on August 14, 2026 — the Friday before Independence Day — with the director calling it his “dream project” and the team promising a “grand” rollout. The date and the pitch come via trade reports that closely track publicity material.

According to those reports, Kasi Visalakshi Balusu produces under Sri Adi Varaha Productions, with Kamakshi Bhaskarla, Shravan Reddy, Ulka Gupta, Jovika Vijay Kumar, Sijju, Roshan and Shreya Rani Reddy in the lead cast. Music is by Rakesh Venkatapuram, and other crew credits named include Nani Chamidisetty (cinematography) and Junaid Siddiqui (editing).

Promotional copy calls it a “mystic divine thriller” and “visually rich” spectacle; the team and multiple outlets also say the teaser has crossed 14 million views. Those are the makers’ claims — the reports do not specify the platform, cut, or date the tally was taken. Film databases list Agadha as upcoming for August 14 and tag it under thriller/supernatural; that is a classification, not a verdict on the finished film.

What is firm today: the announced date sits in the Independence Day window. What is not on the record yet: budget, certification, distributors by territory, screen count, or any audited audience metric. Telangana audiences will decide on the day; the slogans won’t do it for them.
