Mananati is the biopic of Savitri, one of the legendary actress of all-time in Telugu Cinema.
Celebrating her career and showing the facets of her love and life, Mahanati, directed by Nag Ashwin is releasing on 9th May.
Many thought why such an odd date, in the mid-week while 11th May, Friday doesn't have any big films.
Producers Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt, wanted to bring the film by 29th March but there was post production delay.
So, when they looked for next possible date, their father, famous producer and Vyjayanthi Movies production house head, C. Ashwini Dutt suggested them 9th May date.
9th May is the date when Jagadeeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari released in 1991. The movie became the biggest blockbuster in Telugu Cinema.
So, it is a lucky date, he asked them to go ahead with it and release the biggest production of their lives on his lucky date. Let's wait and see, if that luck helps the movie become a huge hit.
