Despite what the star of the show Vijay Deverakonda put to poll, there were only two release options with NOTA. Either come before the Dussehra festival holidays on October 5 or during the holidays on October 18.
The makers have gone ahead with October 5th itself. It is a risky decision, and it needs the movie to deliver a hundred percent otherwise, it could be a one week deal at best in cinemas. Commercially it could be even worse as that would be a pre-festival period.
NOTA is now a big challenge to the emerging stardom of Vijay Deverakonda. If he manages to score here as well, that will take him a step higher in stardom scale. Anand Shankar directs the film that is going to release simultaneously in Tamil along with Telugu.
