In the realm of cinema, where small-budget films often struggle to make a mark, Anjali’s ‘Geethanjali’ emerged as a triumphant exception back in 2014. Not only did it carve a niche as a box-office sensation, but it also pioneered a new wave in the horror-comedy genre. Fast forward to the present, and the buzz is all about its eagerly awaited sequel, ‘Geethanjali Malli Vachindi’.
Produced under the banners of Kona Films Corporation and MVV Cinemas, this sequel marks a significant milestone in Anjali’s illustrious career, being her 50th film.
