Despite being backed by Sithara Entertainment and featuring the popular actress Sreeleela.

the movie’s trailer release was delayed due to technical issues, and it’s lacking positive pre-release buzz.

In today’s film industry, the buzz around superhit songs often plays a pivotal role in generating anticipation for a movie.

[{"selector":"#anim-3ee24e04-6950-4279-8113-238a85c198cf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3b0be1e4-dc98-4430-ab36-ca468692d331","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 239.33591%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5943f760-0193-431b-8712-af99018af893 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(30.839843633736912%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

However, the tunes composed by GV Prakash for “Aadikeshava” haven’t managed to create the desired impact.

[{"selector":"#anim-74f78210-3ee7-48da-a017-06183b645b46","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-177aec6b-9240-438a-b9c7-045217b5a935","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 239.33591%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-29cde762-76da-4471-b654-b5ecaa0f79d0 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, -6.609743472552054e-7%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

With just a week left until its release, the film desperately needs a significant buzz to ensure decent opening numbers at the box office.

[{"selector":"#anim-175c1a6b-c08a-4cc1-87b2-dcc87a635351","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-541599a9-3cd6-442c-b6ef-aaa8571761f0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 192.16266%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-522fcc37-d482-4471-a3e1-4c7ac54033a3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.562499829338602%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

The key to generating such buzz might lie in producer Naga Vamsi, known for his impactful speeches during movie press-meets.

[{"selector":"#anim-8f182b25-1861-4b65-b870-2d447533a6c6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d019eb90-3bb8-4009-a139-de4a7057e91e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 200.19837%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f627866e-3faf-44dc-8761-276b6dd4beee [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-10.135793684742396%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

His previous speeches, like the ones for DJ Tillu and ‘Mad,’ have had a remarkable ability to ignite unparalleled excitement for the films.

If Naga Vamsi repeats this magic for “Aadikeshava,” it could potentially garner terrific attention for the movie.

It remains to be seen what strategy Naga Vamsi will employ this time to create the much-needed hype for the film.
