The stage is all set for the grand re-release of Megastar Chiranjeevi and legendary diva Sridevi’s iconic socio-fantasy entertainer, Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari. Released on May 9, 1990, the K Raghavendra Rao directorial ended up being a massive blockbuster at the box office.
JVAS is set to hit the big screens again on May 9, exactly 35 years after its initial release. The film was produced by veteran filmmaker Ashwini Dutt with a whopping budget of Rs 2 crore, which was quite high in those days. Apparently, Chiru and Sridevi took home a fat paycheck of Rs 25 lakh and Rs 20 lakh, respectively.
JVAS makers at Vyjayanthi Movies had launched a massive 4-year search for the film’s original negative. The film will be released in 4K resolution and traditional 2D and immersive 3D formats. Maestro Ilaiyaraaja composed the film’s chartbuster soundtrack.
