After almost twelve years, the timeless love story Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu is making a triumphant comeback to the big screen. Directed by the renowned Gautham Menon and featuring Nani and Samantha in the lead roles, the acclaimed film is scheduled for re-release on August 2. The announcement by producers Supriya and Srinivas under the Lakshmi Narasimha Movies banner promises to revive the enchantment of a film that charmed audiences back in 2012. A particular distributor has bought the rights to re-release the film in theatres next week and it will run in selective private theatres in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu garnered acclaim upon its release, earning five esteemed Nandi Awards. The film’s honours include Best Hero for Nani, Best Heroine for Samantha, Best Music Director for Ilayaraja, and Best Lyricist for Ananth Sriram. Additionally, Gautham Menon received the Special Jury Award for his exceptional contribution to the film.

The film was highly praised for its engaging storyline, stellar performances, and beautiful music.
