Bheemla Nayak is a 2022 Indian Telugu-language action thriller film directed by Saagar K Chandra from a screenplay by Trivikram Srinivas. The film stars Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati in lead roles. It is an official remake of the 2020 Malayalam film Ayyappanum Koshiyum. The film was filmed primarily in Hyderabad between January 2021 and February 2022 although temporarily halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. It has music composed by Thaman S with cinematography by Ravi K. Chandran and editing by Naveen Nooli.
It was theatrically released on 25 February 2022 and opened to positive reviews. The film netted ₹37 crore in India on its opening day and emerged as the best post-pandemic opener in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.[4] Bheemla Nayak grossed over ₹192 crore worldwide in 20 days,[3] despite restrictions like lowered ticket prices and a ban on early morning shows in Andhra Pradesh, linked to political vendetta against Pawan Kalyan by the ruling YCP government, which affected its earnings.[4][5]
