Pawan Kalyan’s film Thammudu will return to theatres on June 15, 2024, after 25 years. Initially released in 1999, this sports action movie, written and directed by PA Arun Prasad, has become a cult favourite among fans.

The story revolves around Subhash, a college student who spends time with friends and pursuing girls. In contrast, his brother is a dedicated kickboxer and their father’s pride. The plot thickens when Subhash’s brother is injured by a rival, who prevents him from competing in a kickboxing tournament. To make amends and seek revenge, Subhash trains and fights in his brother’s place. Along the way, he also falls in love with a supportive neighbour girl.

Thammudu is inspired by the Aamir Khan movie Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikander, which itself drew from the American film “Breaking Away.” The movie was also remade in Tamil as “Badri” and in Kannada as Yuvaraja, starring Thalapathy Vijay and Shiva Rajkumar, respectively. As part of the re-release, the trailer for “Thammudu” will be unveiled.
