Premada Oorali film achieves blockbuster status in Karnataka

The film Premada Oorali, directed by Manoj Kumar, has become a significant box-office success in Karnataka. Since its theatrical release on September 25, the production—under Vanilla Entertainments and Janakamma Productions—has completed over 11,000 shows and earned approximately ₹30 crore within its first 13 days.

Cinematographer Rajkanth SK discussed the technical challenges of the production, noting that the film was shot during the peak monsoon months of June and July in the Hassan region. The crew utilized both natural rainfall and sprinkler setups to achieve a specific rustic texture.
