Ravi Teja's previous movie and its performance
Before working on Mr Bachchan, Ravi Teja featured in the film Eagle, which released on February 9. Originally, the film was scheduled for release on January 13, positioning it as one of four major Telugu films set to debut over the Sankranthi weekend.
However, the makers opted to delay the release, following a strategic decision influenced by a promise from the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce for a solo release date. Despite being the only Telugu film premiering on February 9, Eagle delivered an average performance at the box office. It is currently available for streaming on ETV Win.
