Sandeep Reddy Vanga revealed his game-changing film to be, “Arjun Reddy!” The teaser was released on February 14, 2017, and that was a game-changing moment for me and Vijay Deverakonda. It was a game-changing day. So, at 7 o'clock, we released the teaser. Vijay and I literally pressed the button together on my laptop.”
Sandeep added how the teaser itself was a massive hit, adding, “After 1-2 hours, my phone was jammed with messages. That day, we felt this film was going somewhere. The teaser was a bigger movement than the film itself because we saw the effect of the teaser release was more than expected.”
Arjun Reddy featured Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini Pandey in the lead. Its narrative received massive praise for its intense storytelling and well-developed characters. The film's success led to remakes in several languages, including the Bollywood hit Kabir Singh, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga himself. Kabir Singh, starring Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani, became a blockbuster, further cementing Vanga's reputation as a master storyteller.
