Why Is Suresh Babu Not Producing ENE Repeat? Producer Srujan Yarabolu Explains

ENE Repeat, the sequel to the Telugu film Ee Nagaraniki Emaindi, is gearing up for a theatrical release on November 19. However, Suresh Babu, who produced the original film, is not associated with the sequel as a producer. Recently, producer Srujan Yarabolu spoke about the reasons behind this development, explaining that differences over the film's budget and production expenses played a role.

According to Srujan Yarabolu, the team initially estimated that the film would cost around ₹10 crore, while Suresh Babu reportedly wanted to complete it within ₹7 crore. However, the production cost eventually increased to approximately ₹12–13 crore. The film was initially planned for an October 2 release, but the delay reportedly added to the interest burden. Srujan also mentioned disagreements over the remuneration of the actors. Written and directed by Tharun Bhascker Dhaassyam, the film stars Vishwak Sen, Abhinav Gomatam, Venkatesh Kakumanu and Srinath Maganti. Srujan Yarabolu and Sandeep Nagireddy have produced the sequel.
