Directed by Yagandhar Muni, the movie features Archana Iyer, Swasika, Ravi Varma, Madhunandan, and Shiva Karthik in key roles. The film is set for a grand theatrical release on December 25. The team celebrated grand pre-release event held on Sunday. The event witnessed the presence of several notable guests including Kiran Abbavaram, Manchu Manoj, Priyadarshi, Anil Ravipudi, S Thaman, TG Vishwa Prasad, Naveen Yerneni, Mythri Shashi, and others, who extended their best wishes to the team.\r\nKiran Abbavaram said, &ldquo;From the beginning, Shambhala has had a positive vibe. Director Ugandhar Muni is a talented filmmaker, and I&rsquo;ve always admired Sricharan Pakala&rsquo;s background score and music. When I was doing SR Kalyanamandapam, it was Sai Kumar garu who supported me immensely. He was the first major star I met when I entered this industry, and I&rsquo;ll always be grateful for his guidance. Aadi&rsquo;s journey has been inspiring- sustaining oneself in the industry is as significant as delivering hits. People are already talking positively about Shambhala, and I&rsquo;m sure it will be successful. Everyone should watch it in theatres on December 25. You&rsquo;ll definitely love it.&rdquo;\r\nManchu Manoj&rsquo;s remarks: &ldquo;The trailer of Shambhala is excellent. I truly wish Aadi a big success with this movie. There&rsquo;s no such thing as a big or small film- audiences always support good stories. Ugandhar&rsquo;s passion and the producers&rsquo; confidence in his vision are praiseworthy. I&rsquo;m sure Shambhala will be a blockbuster. Do watch it in theatres on December 25.&rdquo;\r\nAadi Sai Kumar said, &ldquo;I want to thank everyone who came to this event and all those who have supported me throughout my journey. Since the first poster release last December, Shambhala has received constant encouragement. The teaser was launched by Dulquer Salmaan, and the trailers released by Prabhas and Nani raised expectations even higher. Director Ugandhar Muni&rsquo;s dedication is what has created this strong buzz. Our producers Mahidhar Reddy and Rajashekar Annabhimoju never compromised on quality even when the budget grew. The visuals by Praveen and the score by Sricharan Pakala are major highlights.\r\nEveryone in the cast gave their best. Please watch Shambhala in theatres to truly experience its emotion and scale. As the son of Sai Kumar garu, I feel proud of carrying forward his legacy. He&rsquo;s eagerly waiting to see me score a big hit. On December 25, with Shambhala, we&rsquo;re all set to deliver that success. I also wish that all the Christmas releases become hits.&rdquo;\r\nAnil Ravipudi stated, &ldquo;I wish everyone who worked on Shambhala great success and recognition. Sai Kumar garu is like family to me, and Aadi is like a younger brother. He&rsquo;s experimented across genres and proven himself as a brilliant actor. Shambhala should bring him the success he deserves. I&rsquo;ll never forget Sai Kumar garu&rsquo;s support during Pataas. He personally enquires about every Friday release- celebrating successes and feeling for flops, which shows his genuine nature. I hope he hears Shambhala being called a blockbuster this Christmas.&rdquo;\r\nSai Kumar said, &ldquo;My cinematic journey began with my parents and continues with the love of the audience. I debuted as a hero in 1975, and my son Aadi made his debut in 2011 with Prema Kavali. Hits and flops are part of the game, but Aadi has never stopped trying. Ugandhar has crafted Shambhala with the devotion of a sage. From the first poster to now, the positivity surrounding this film has only grown. Stars like Dulquer, Prabhas, and Nani have shown their support. The audience always rewards good content, and I&rsquo;m confident Shambhala will be a hit.\r\nKiran Abbavaram, Anil Ravipudi, Priyadarshi- they&rsquo;re all family to me. I thank our loyal fans who&rsquo;ve stood by us through every phase. This time, Aadi will make me, and our fans, proud. Mythri Shashi watched the film and assured me it&rsquo;s a sure-shot hit, which gives me relief. We&rsquo;re planning a huge overseas release too. Shambhala will definitely be a blockbuster on December 25th. I wish Aadi creative joy, myself the joy of fatherhood pride, and the team the joy of victory.&rdquo;\r\nThaman stated: &ldquo;Aadi is a genuinely good person, and his sincerity shows in Shambhala. Sricharan Pakala&rsquo;s live performance today was electrifying. My best wishes to the entire team.&rdquo;\r\nAshwin Babu affirmed: &ldquo;The promotions for Shambhala are unique and exciting. The producers trusted Ugandhar&rsquo;s vision wholeheartedly. Aadi has poured his heart into this role, and the film will surely become a massive hit.&rdquo;\r\nTG Vishwa Prasad remarked: &ldquo;I&rsquo;ve known Mahidhar for 20 years. I recently watched Shambhala and I&rsquo;m sure it&rsquo;ll be a blockbuster.&rdquo;\r\nPriyadarshi said: &ldquo;The film explores science and spirituality beautifully. I can&rsquo;t wait to watch it on December 25.&rdquo;\r\nDirector Ugandhar Muni avowed: &ldquo;This film began because of producer Rajashekar garu&rsquo;s belief. Later Mahidhar garu joined and became the backbone of the project. Aadi believed in the story deeply, and his support made this possible.&rdquo;\r\nProducers Mahidhar Reddy &amp; Rajashekar Annabhimoju said: &ldquo;Our team has worked relentlessly. We invite everyone to experience Shambhala in theatres on December 25 and make it a success.&rdquo;\r\nNaveen Yerneni &amp; Mythri Shashi remarked: &ldquo;The interval block is stunning, and the entire film is captivating. Audiences must watch it in theatres. After Shambhala&rsquo;s release, Sai Kumar garu will be immensely proud of Aadi.&rdquo;\r\nSricharan Pakala said: &ldquo;I&rsquo;m thrilled to have associate with this movie passionate team. Shambhala is my 49th film and holds a special place in my heart.&rdquo;\r\nArchana Iyer stated: &ldquo;It was an honor to work with such talented people. Aadi has delivered a superb performance.
