The film was re-released on September 2, on Pawan Kalyan’s birthday.
The film, starring Pawan Kalyan, Meera Jasmine and Ashish Vidyarthi, was originally released on September 10, 2004.
Do you remember the Telugu film Gudumba Shankar? Directed by Veera Shankar, the film starred Pawan Kalyan, Meera Jasmine and Ashish Vidyarthi. It was released on September 10, 2004. Recently, Gudumba Shankar was re-released after 19 years. The initial date was fixed as August 31, 2023. Then it got postponed and was re-released on September 2, on Pawan Kalyan’s birthday. It received a positive response from the audience in pre-bookings, but couldn’t perform well after it was released. Due to the lack of availability of theatres and show timings, the film failed to create an impact at the box office. Lack of proper planning and management were also cited as reasons behind Gudumba Shankar’s failure. As per reports, Gudumba Shankar earned Rs 1 crore from the Nizam regions. Reportedly, it made a gross collection of three crores till now.
Vijay Deverakonda’s film Kushi was released on September 1. Movie theatres provided more show slots and screens for the film. As the priority was given to this and many other newly-launched films, Gudumba Shankar’s re-release couldn’t perform as expected.

She took a walk down the memory lane and shared pictures from the sets of the film. In addition to this, she also shared a heartfelt message for Pawan Kalyan.
