Pawan Kalyan, known for his charismatic performances, makes a comeback to the silver screen following his 2023 outing in “Bro.” While his forthcoming projects await their release, Venu Sriram’s “Vakeel Saab” is gearing up for a May 1st re-release. Alongside Kalyan, the film stars Nivetha Thomas, Anjali, and Ananya Nagalla in pivotal roles.
The announcement of the re-release was made by Sri Venkateshwara Creations via social media platform X (formerly Twitter), accompanied by a striking new poster featuring Pawan Kalyan.

Originally hitting theaters on April 9, 2021, amidst the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, “Vakeel Saab” encountered hurdles. However, fans are now elated that the film will have a second theatrical run, with some expressing their sentiments on X.

In anticipation of the re-release, some fans reminisced by sharing videos from their initial theatrical experiences of watching “Vakeel Saab.” They highlighted the significance of the chosen release date, May 1st, considering it a strategic move by Pawan Kalyan.

Pawan Kalyan’s political affiliations with JanaSena, in alliance with Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Andhra Pradesh, add an intriguing layer to the film’s context. The timing of the re-release amidst political dynamics further fuels speculation about its impact.
As fans eagerly await the renaissance of “Vakeel Saab” on the big screen, Pawan Kalyan continues to engage in his cinematic endeavors. Currently, he is immersed in the filming of Sujeeth’s “They Call Him OG,” slated for a September release. Additionally, audiences can anticipate his appearances in Krish’s “Hari Hara Veera Mallu” and Harish Shankar’s “Ustaad Bhagat Singh.”
In essence, the resurgence of “Vakeel Saab” heralds not only a cinematic revival but also a convergence of cinematic and political narratives, setting the stage for an intriguing cultural phenomenon in Telugu cinema.
