Anaganaga Oka Raju is a 2026 Indian Telugu-language romantic comedy directed by Maari and produced by Naga Vamsi S and Sai Soujanya under the Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas banners. Positioned as a festive family entertainer, the film employs a wedding-centric narrative to explore relationships, personal choices, and generational expectations through humor and light emotional conflict. Announced in 2021 with the title unveiled in January 2022, the project underwent creative changes during development, including a change in director and music composer, before taking final shape. Its planned Sankranthi theatrical release places it within the traditional holiday window associated with family-oriented Telugu cinema.
The cast includes Naveen Polishetty (Raju) and Meenakshi Chaudhary (Charulata “Charu”) in the lead roles, supported by Rao Ramesh, Tarak Ponnappa, Goparaju Ramana, Chammak Chandra, Ananth Babu, Madhusudhan Rao, Mahesh Achanta, Bhadram, Kadambari Kiran Kumar, and Bheemala Revanth Pavan Sai Subhash, with a cameo appearance by Saanve Megghana. Cinematography is handled by J. Yuvraj, while music composed by Mickey J. Meyer supports the film’s celebratory and romantic tone. The audio rights are held by Aditya Music, with singles such as “Bhimavaram Balma,” marking Naveen Polishetty’s debut as a singer, and “Raju Gaari Pelli Ro” released in late 2025. Filming commenced in February 2025 and was completed within six months. No officially reported controversies, awards, or notable production challenges have been documented, and following its theatrical run, the film is confirmed for streaming on Netflix, with the OTT premiere date yet to be announced.
