Sampoornesh Babu makes a Tollywood comeback with 'Martin Luther King'; see first look poster

Sampoornesh Babu, the renowned actor of Tollywood, has made a name for himself with his unique brand of spoof comedy, as seen in films like 'Hrudaya Kaleyam' and 'Kobbari Matta.' These films were not just hilarious but also turned out to be major commercial successes. However, after the initial frenzy surrounding 'Hrudaya Kaleyam,' Sampoornesh Babu appeared in several Telugu films but struggled to replicate his earlier success.
Now, after a significant hiatus from the silver screen, Sampoornesh Babu is all set to make a grand re-entry into Tollywood with a political comedy titled 'Martin Luther King.' The official title and first look poster for the movie were unveiled recently, generating substantial excitement among fans and film enthusiasts alike.
The first look poster for 'Martin Luther King' is unlike anything we've seen before. It features Sampoornesh Babu donning a crown on his head, surrounded by political leaders actively campaigning for votes. The intriguing visual has piqued the curiosity of moviegoers, suggesting that this film promises to deliver something extraordinary.
Joining Sampoornesh Babu in the cast are director Venkatesh Maha and actor Naresh, both of whom are set to play pivotal roles in the movie. The film's production team has already announced that 'Martin Luther King' will hit theaters on October 27, creating a sense of anticipation for this comeback project.

Interestingly, 'Martin Luther King' is said to be a remake of the critically acclaimed Tamil film 'Mandela,' which starred Yogi Babu in the lead role. 'Mandela' gained recognition as India's official entry for the Best Foreign Film category at the Oscars, though the final nominations remained undisclosed. The Tamil movie also achieved success on the national stage, clinching two National Awards.
The premise of 'Martin Luther King' is said to be closely aligned with that of 'Mandela.' The storyline revolves around the backdrop of panchayat elections, offering ample opportunities for humor and satire in the realm of Indian politics. The film is directed by Puja Aparna Kolluru, adding an exciting dimension to this highly anticipated project.
