With promotions for Nandamuri Balakrishna’s 100th film Gautamiputra Satakarni going on in full swing, the makers are gearing up for one final event before the film hits screens on January 12.
Director Krish and producers Y Rajeev Reddy and Jagarlamudi Saibabu have appealed to the entire Telugu community in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to participate in Satavahana Pathakotsavam to be performed on January 8 at 5:40 pm.
“After the magnanimous response for Gautamiputra Satakarni audio launch at the foothills of Tirumala with the blessings of Lord Balaji, we come to the final promotion stage to celebrate Satavahana Pathakotsavam on January 8 in 100 theaters in two Telugu states.
A specially designed Satavahana flag will be hoisted at these theaters commemorating the triumph of Gautamiputra Satakarni’s invasion in uniting India from Kashmir to Kanya Kumari,” the producers said.
In history, Gautamiputra Satakarni announced this day as beginning of a new Satavahana era. This festival is celebrated across the country with different names (Ugadi in Telugu, Gudipadwa in Maharashtra, etc).
“To ignite Telugu pride and integrate Telugu sentiment, we launched Satavahana Pathakotsavam campaign.
Nandamuri Balakrishna, director Krish, we producers and distributor Sai Korrapati will attend Jyothi Theater in Visakhapatnam on January 8 to kick start the grand fete. In remaining 99 theaters in various locations, Nandamuri Balakrishna fans will hoist the flag. Every person belonging to Telugu land is welcome to take part in event and make it a grand success. A detailed list of 100 theatres will be released soon,” the producers added.
