Raakaasa is enjoying a strong run at the box office, with family audiences playing a major role in its success. The film’s clean humour and feel-good entertainment are attracting crowds of all ages, making it a popular choice for families this season.
To celebrate this success, the team held a grand success meet with the cast, crew, media, and chief guest Anil Ravipudi in attendance.
At the event, editor Anwar Ali thanked the producers and Niharika Konidela for the opportunity. Cinematographer Raju and choreographers JD Master and Bhanu Master expressed happiness over the film’s success and credited the audience for the positive response. Bhanu Master also highlighted how the “Snake Dance” song brought him recognition.
