With no major releases after Hari Hara Veeramallu was postponed, old films are filling the gap. Andala Rakshasi, starring Lavanya Tripathi, Naveen Chandra, and Rahul Ravichandran, re-released today and received a surprising response. Over 17,000 tickets were sold on BookMyShow in 24 hours—more than many recent star films.

Once a cult favorite on OTT, the film is now expected to cross Rs 1 crore on day one and Rs 2 crore in its full run. Analysts say this shows the audience's hunger for content, and big films could’ve revived theatres if released on time. Tholi Prema re-releases tomorrow.
