Samantha Ruth Prabhu in Maa Inti Bangaaram
The makers of actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu's upcoming film Maa Inti Bangaaram has announced that the film will be released on a new date. The announcement was made on Thursday. The film, which was earlier scheduled for a May release will now hit the theatres in mid-June. The makers made the decision to avoid clashing with the ongoing IPL (Indian Premier League) season.
A statement on behalf of the makers read, "Tralala Moving Pictures has announced that its upcoming production Maa Inti Bangaaram, starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, will now release worldwide on June 19, 2026, moving from its previously announced date of May 15.
"The decision was made to avoid a clash with the IPL season, and to give audiences across the Telugu states the opportunity to fully support the Sunrisers Hyderabad during their campaign."
The IPL finale will take place on May 31 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The Sunrisers Hyderabad is currently at the top of the points table and will be playing the qualifier match, which will start in the last week of May.
Maa Inti Bangaaram is a family action drama directed by Nandini Reddy, produced by Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Raj Nidimoru, and Himank Duvvuru.
The film features Diganth and Gulshan Devaiah in key roles alongside a supporting cast of Sree Mukhi, Gautami, Anand, Lakshmi, Srinivas Gavireddy, and Manjusha.
Just last month, the makers of the action comedy family drama dropped the first song from the film titled âThassadiya', a high-energy wedding celebration number.
The track, Thassadiya, is a high-energy wedding celebration number composed by Santosh Narayanan, with lyrics by Rehman and vocals by Chinmayi Sripada and Punya Selva.
In the film, the actress has done most of the action sequences in a saree.
A source close to the film had previously shared: "After âThe Family Man' and âCitadel', Samantha wanted to challenge herself further. In Maa Inti Bangaram, she's doing most of the action herself, and doing it in a saree. It's physically demanding and visually powerful, a portrayal audiences rarely get to see".
Samantha made her acting debut in the Telugu romance film Ye Maaya Chesave in 2010. Over the next few years, she has worked in films such as Dookudu, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Attarintiki Daredi, Kaththi, Theri, 24, Mersal, and Rangasthalam.
