Tottempudi Gopichand’s latest Telugu fantasy action drama, Bhimaa, is gearing up for its television premiere. Despite receiving negative reviews from critics upon its theatrical release on March 8, the film garnered a solid response in the digital space. Recent reports indicate that the makers have scheduled its television premiere for this weekend.
Directed by A. Harsha, Bhimaa marks Gopichand’s 31st film in a leading role. The movie also features Priya Bhavani Shankar, Vennela Kishore, Nasaar, Mukesh Tiwari, and Malvika Sharma. K. K. Radhamohan produced the film under the banner of Sri Sathya Sai Arts. On a technical front, Ravi Basrur composed the music, Swamy J. Gowda handled the cinematography, and Tammiraju edited the film.
Set against the backdrop of a village named Mahendgiri, Bhimaa follows the story of a man who engages in illegal activities at the Parushuram temple, killing anyone who tries to stop him. Gopichand’s character arrives in the village to protect the people and uncover the truth behind the mysterious happenings. The story takes an unexpected turn when the life of the woman Gopichand loves is put at risk.
When will Gopichand’s Bhimaa premiere on TV?
Recent reports from 123Telugu confirmed that the makers have scheduled Bhimaa for its world television premiere on Sunday, May 26, on the Star Maa Channel at 1 P.M. (IST). Although the movie didn’t perform well at the box office, it garnered a massive response on its digital release, suggesting that it may receive decent TRP ratings upon its TV premiere.
Bhimaa is currently available to stream on Disney Plus Hotstar in Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. Those eager to watch it before the television premiere can enjoy it digitally. Due to intense violence, the Central Board of Film Certification awarded the film an A certificate.
Talking about his experience during Bhimaa filming, Gopichand said, “This isn’t a regular cop film. Along with the high scenes, there is a semi-fantasy element. I haven’t done anything like this before. That’s the beauty of Bhimaa. It is a commercial film along with the fantasy aspect. We have cut the trailer in an interesting manner, and many are coming up with their own theories.”
With the television premiere set for May 26, it will be intriguing to see how the audience reacts to its broadcast.
