'Murari' (2001) was re-released in theatres today on the occasion of Mahesh Babu's birthday. The re-release mania has been expectedly high.
As per a report by a news daily, a young couple in their early 20s tied the knot right while the movie was being screened inside a theatre in Hyderabad. In a video that went viral on Friday, the couple's friends could be seen celebrating their union by showering 'akshintalu' on them.
It is not known whether the couple did it for real or it was just performative in nature. Early reports have not mentioned the names of the couple. Could it be a publicity stunt? Maybe, or maybe not.
'Murari', directed by Krishna Vamsi, co-stars Sonali Bendra as the heroine. Over the years, the pairing of Mahesh and Sonali has acquired a special status.
