The Great Pre-Wedding Show Box Office: Scores Big, Wins Hearts

After opening to glowing reviews and strong word-of-mouth, The Great Pre-Wedding Show is being celebrated by audiences across Telugu states for its honesty, humour, and emotional depth. To thank the audience and media for the overwhelming response, the team gathered in Hyderabad for a lively Blockbuster Fun Show (Success Meet), an evening filled with laughter, reflection, and heartfelt gratitude.

The hall buzzed with warmth as the film’s cast and crew reminisced about their journey from a small idea born in a modest apartment to a film that’s now finding its place in people’s hearts.

Editor Naresh Adupa opened the event by speaking about the dedication behind the scenes. “The two people who have been deeply invested in this project are producer Sandeep and executive producer Prajnay. Yesterday, after two weeks, I finally saw smiles on their faces — that said everything,” he said, recalling the satisfaction of seeing the film connect with audiences. “A special thanks to Thiruveer for bringing such sensible stories and to director Rahul, who’s brilliant, adaptive, and gave me this opportunity."

Music Director Suresh Bobbili followed, clearly emotional about the film’s reception. “This film is very special to me — it’s the success I’ve been waiting for over the past five years,” he shared. “My heartfelt thanks to the Telugu audience and to the media for carrying the good word everywhere. I finally had a fulfilling sleep last night! This film brought me peace after years of waiting. My special thanks to BVS Ravi garu for encouraging new talent like us and for attending this event. His presence means a lot.”

The energy in the room remained high as actor Vinay added his own excitement. “Thanks to every actor and every media person for being so positive about our film.Vizag boys, it’s a smash, go and watch it."

Actress Yamini spoke next, and her words carried both emotion and gratitude. “During my first audition, I struggled with my accent even though I’m from Vizag. Many thought I wouldn’t fit in, but Rahul sir and Thiruveer believed in me. They stood by me when it mattered most. I want to thank my mother too, without her, I wouldn’t be standing here today. Regardless of what anyone said, you stood by me and supported me, Amma. I promise I won’t let you down. Please keep supporting me.”

Actor Narendra’s words drew some of the loudest applause of the evening. Fighting back emotion, he said, “Thanks to the media and everyone saying good things about the film. This is a very emotional moment for me. I’m an introvert, but I wanted to speak today. Since 2017, I’ve been trying to become an actor. My mom used to ask what I was doing with my life. Mom, are you watching this? I became an actor today! “Thanks to Rahul anna who trusted me, to Thiruveer for supporting me on set and during promotions, and to Prajnay anna, without him, this film wouldn’t exist. Special thanks to Sandeep anna, who was scrolling through Reels when he found me and called me to audition. That changed my life."

The tone shifted to heartfelt humour as actor Joga Rao took the mic, beginning with a short poem about the Telugu language. “People might wonder why I recited that poem, it’s because this film is as great as the Telugu language itself — clean, emotional, and a complete family entertainer. Actors are great, directors are greater, and the 24 crafts are greater still. But above all that, Cinéma is greater than us all, audience is greater than Cinéma, and media is greater than audience  because without media, a film can’t reach people. If anyone watches this film and doesn’t laugh even once, I’ll personally return their money. 

I guarantee it! I’ve done 20 films and countless theatre plays, but this is the only one that gave me true satisfaction. Even before my death, I’ll remember Rahul Srinivas. I spoke to my daughter that night after the premiere, and it was one of the most emotional conversations I’ve had in years. Thank you, Rahul, for giving me a role that made me feel alive.”

Rohan Roy followed with his trademark energy and charm. “First, thanks to BVS Ravi garu for attending,” he said. “I’ve been thanking everyone since day one, now it’s time to thank the audience. Our film worked because of everyone’s effort. I also want to thank Vijay Deverakonda anna Mmmwaah! I’m so happy for this Friday. Our film worked, and everything went in our favour. Thanks Rahul anna and Prajnay anna, because everything we did was possible only because of your support"

Producer Sandeep, speaking straight from the heart. “I actually came very prepared,” he smiled, “but after listening to everyone, I forgot everything! Looks like they came more prepared than me. Like everyone, I used to thank the media as a formality, but this time I mean it. The bookings picked up from 4 PM yesterday — that’s because of media support. So, thank you all.”

When Sandeep returned to the mic, he said, “Like I said before, I didn’t make this film as a producer — the film made me one. Coming from a middle-class background, my parents were worried when I said I’d make a film. Now, they’re calling me with pride. The reason behind all this is Rahul Srinivas. I want him to make another film with me before a big production house grabs him away. And to Nani and Charan, you’ll both be directors next year!”

Actress Teena Sravya kept her words short but heartfelt. “A big thanks to the media for supporting our film right from day one, and to the direction department for always being there. I came prepared to say a lot, but after hearing everyone, I just want to say thank you so much,” she said with a smile.
