Annapurna, EPIC set ‘Pallaburusu’ date
Hyderabad’s Annapurna Studios and EPIC Studios announced Uday Chauhan’s Pallaburusu with an August 14 theatrical date and a toothbrush-for-scales poster. Whether it actually opened on that day is not yet on the public record.
The announced release date was August 14, 2026.
Annapurna Studios and EPIC Studios announced Pallaburusu as a joint presentation and production, pegging a theatrical release for August 14, 2026, and unveiling a first-look poster of two leads perched back-to-back on a giant toothbrush shaped like a balance, outside a district courtroom, according to a report and the studios’ own promo posts.
Cinema Express identifies Uday Chauhan as writer-director, with Sudhakar Reddy and Muralidhar Goud playing father and son, alongside Prajwal Yadma and Gomathy Reddy. EPIC’s Aditya Pittie and Vivek Krishnani are listed as producers. Krishnani called the collaboration a mould-breaker with a “strong regional Telugu flavour” — promotional language, but it reads like a studio finally betting on a left-field idea instead of another reheated remake.
Annapurna’s official handle repeated “In cinemas 14th August 2026.” As of August 17, there’s no verified public record in the supplied material confirming that the release went ahead, or on how many screens. That silence isn’t on Hyderabad; it’s on a film trade too busy parroting slogans from Delhi’s culture wars to file one clean update on a Telangana title.
