Naga Chaitanya's highly anticipated film "Custody" is gearing up for a big theatrical release this Friday. With an impressive trailer and aggressive promotions, expectations are running high for this Telugu-Tamil bilingual cop action drama directed by Venkat Prabhu.
As advance bookings open in all territories, the initial response seems weak. The film's unconventional nature and underwhelming audio have possibly contributed to the low bookings. However, the buzz generated by the trailer gives hope that positive word of mouth can turn things around for the film at the box office.
Taking cues from recent successes like "Virupaksha," which started with weak advance bookings but garnered immense popularity through positive word of mouth, "Custody" has the potential to follow a similar trajectory.
Releasing on May 12, the film marks the first-ever collaboration between Naga Chaitanya and Venkat Prabhu. The ensemble cast includes Arvind Swami, Sarath Kumar, Krithi Shetty, Priyamani, Premji, Vennela Kishore, and Sampath Raj in crucial roles. With music by Ilayaraja and Yuvan Shankar Raja, and cinematography by SR Kathir, "Custody" boasts a talented team behind the scenes.
