Varun Tej’s Ghani locks a new release date

Actor Varun Tej’s Telugu sports drama Ghani is scheduled to release theatrically on 25 February, the makers announced on Tuesday. The film, presented by producer Allu Aravind, has been pushed multiple times due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 32-year-old actor, who plays a boxer in the film, took to Twitter to announce the new release date. “Three years of our blood and sweat. The time has finally come to earn your respect on February 25th! See you in theatres,” Tej wrote.

Written and directed by Kiran Korrapati, “Ghani” also stars Saiee Manjrekar, Jagapathi Babu, Upendra, Suniel Shetty and Naveen Chandra. The film is produced by Renaissance Pictures and Allu Bobby Company.

25 February would also see the release of Ali Bhatt-starrer Gangubai Kathiawadi, helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Actor Ajith Kumar’s Tamil action thriller Valimai is scheduled to open a day before Ghani and Gangubai Kathiawadi.
