Everyone should watch it in theatres on December 25. You’ll definitely love it.” Manchu Manoj’s remarks: “The trailer of Shambhala is excellent. I truly wish Aadi a big success with this movie.

Since the first poster release last December, Shambhala has received constant encouragement. The teaser was launched by Dulquer Salmaan, and the trailers released by Prabhas and Nani raised expectations even higher. Director Ugandhar Muni’s dedication is what has created this strong buzz. Our producers Mahidhar Reddy and Rajashekar Annabhimoju never compromised on quality even when the budget grew. The visuals by Praveen and the score by Sricharan Pakala are major highlights.Everyone in the cast gave their best. Please watch Shambhala in theatres to truly experience its emotion and scale. As the son of Sai Kumar garu, I feel proud of carrying forward his legacy. He’s eagerly waiting to see me score a big hit. On December 25, with Shambhala, we’re all set to deliver that success. I also wish that all the Christmas releases become hits.”

He’s experimented across genres and proven himself as a brilliant actor. Shambhala should bring him the success he deserves. I’ll never forget Sai Kumar garu’s support during Pataas. He personally enquires about every Friday release- celebrating successes and feeling for flops, which shows his genuine nature. I hope he hears Shambhala being called a blockbuster this Christmas.”Sai Kumar said,“My cinematic journey began with my parents and continues with the love of the audience. I debuted as a hero in 1975, and my son Aadi made his debut in 2011 with Prema Kavali. Hits and flops are part of the game, but Aadi has never stopped trying. Ugandhar has crafted Shambhala with the devotion of a sage. From the first poster to now, the positivity surrounding this film has only grown. Stars like Dulquer, Prabhas, and Nani have shown their support. The audience always rewards good content, and I’m confident Shambhala will be a hit.Kiran Abbavaram, Anil Ravipudi, Priyadarshi- they’re all family to me.
