Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi’s sequel, ENE Repeat, is set for a grand release on November 19. Written and directed by Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam, the film features Vishwak Sen, Abhiinav Gomatam, Venkatesh Kakumanu, and Srinath Maganti.
The film is produced by Srujan Yarabolu and Sandeep Nagireddy under the banners of S Originals and Rootnode Cinema. While the first installment was bankrolled by Suresh Babu, responsibility changed hands for the second part. In an interview, Srujan explained the reason behind this key change.
He revealed, “If ENE Repeat was estimated to cost Rs. 10, Suresh Babu garu wanted to make it in Rs. 7. He expected the budget to touch Rs. 16-17, but Tharun Bhascker completed it within Rs. 12-13. We wanted to release the film for October 2nd, but it didn’t happen. Due to the delay, interest costs went up. Tharun completed the Thailand schedule before the deadline. There was a slight increase in the budget. Suresh Babu garu thought we were paying high remunerations to actors. However, he gave me the rights.”
