Actor Sampoornesh Babu, who has earned a special place in the hearts of audiences with his unique and entertaining films, is coming back with a movie centered around the bond between brothers, titled Sodaraa. Alongside Sampoornesh, actor Sanjosh also plays a key role. The film stars Sampoornesh Babu, Sanjosh, Prachi Bansal, and Arathi Gupta in lead roles and is directed by Mohan Menampalli. Having completed filming and currently undergoing post-production work at a brisk pace, Sodaraa is set to release in theaters on April 25 this summer.
The trailer launch event was held on Thursday in Hyderabad, where renowned director Sai Rajesh and cult producer SKN graced the occasion as chief guests.
Speaking on the occasion, Sai Rajesh said: “After listening to SKN’s speech, I got emotional. I know he has a good heart. His decision to organize a show to promote this movie is truly commendable. I hope this film becomes a big success. My bond with Sampoo is very special. It’s been 13 years since I made a film with him. After Hrudaya Kaleyam became a super hit, Sampoo supported me financially. He even paid a large advance to help me buy a car and house. He’s always stood by me. Cinema creates magical moments. Seeing him now makes me feel so proud. He helps others with the money he earns. In my eyes, Sampoo is a star. No matter what happens, we will always be there for each other. I wish this film brings him a great success in his career.”
SKN said: “Thanks to the media for supporting a small film. I truly like Sampoo, that’s why I came to this function. He also has great affection for Sai Rajesh. I hope everyone’s efforts bring success. Sanjosh should also get a break with this movie. There’s a real thrill when content-driven films do well. I’ve always wished well for small films. I feel honored to attend such events. It’s wonderful to have senior actor Babu Mohan in this film. I hope Sodaraa becomes a massive success like Bro, and that everyone gets recognized. I plan to book a show in a theater and screen it for all my friends. I’m doing this out of a personal commitment to support small films.”
Actor Babu Mohan added: “We shot this film like a picnic. It carries beautiful family values. It’s a must-watch for everyone. A lovely family entertainer. I’ve played many roles before, and each comedy character is unique. In Sodaraa, my role will bring tears. It will touch hearts. This film, with its strong story and talented cast, will surely be enjoyed by all.”
Sampoornesh Babu shared: “I feel very happy seeing this celebration. I’m thrilled that Sai Rajesh, who gave me my start, is here. Sodaraa is a pure story about the bond between an innocent elder brother and an updated younger sibling. So far, the promotional content has received a great response. My role reflects how I am in real life. I hope everyone supports this film and helps us all taste success.”
Actor Sanjosh said: “I’m really happy that SKN and Sai Rajesh are supporting a hard-earned film like this. Watching this movie feels like visiting a village and meeting two affectionate brothers. It beautifully showcases the value of brotherhood. I’m sure audiences will love it. It was a great experience working with a senior actor like Babu Mohan. Sai Rajesh creates stars with his stories – and Sampoo is one of them. Working with him has been a joy. I look forward to doing more projects with him in the future.”
