Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu rereleased on 7 February

The trend of re-releasing popular Telugu movies continues in the Telugu states.

Pawan Kalyan’s 2012 superhit film Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu, directed by Puri Jagannadh, was rereleased in theatres in select locations in the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana on Wednesday, 7 February.

The re-release, which initially garnered immense attention and love from Pawan Kalyan fans back in 2012, got a lukewarm response from fans.

The advance bookings for the screening of Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu in Hyderabad and other locations were overwhelming.

Fans made beelines at the theatres and most cinema halls were houseful across the two states.

The theatres wore a festive look with Pawan Kalyan fans celebrating the re-release of their favourite star and dancing to the hit tunes from the flick.

In some movie halls, the fans created a ruckus by tearing up the seats and setting papers on fire.
