Varun Tej’s Korean Kanakaraju, directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, is less than 24 hours away from its theatrical release. The horror-comedy is ready to enter theatres with strong momentum, and the response to its paid premiere bookings is living up to the pre-release hype.

The film has opened on a solid note, prompting the makers to add more premiere shows across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In the last 24 hours alone, BookMyShow recorded over 11.21K ticket sales, underlining the growing excitement around the film. All eyes are now on the premiere shows, as positive word of mouth could take the bookings to another level.

The momentum isn’t limited to the domestic market. Korean Kanakaraju has already crossed the $100K mark in USA pre-sales, with stronger numbers expected if the premiere response lives up to expectations.

Produced by UV Creations in association with First Frame Entertainments, the film stars Varun Tej, Ritika Nayak, Satya, and Daksha Nagarkar in key roles. Korean Kanakaraju has music composed by Thaman.
