The makers of Okka Kshanam starring Allu Sirish, Surabhi and Seerat Kapoor, have postponed its release date in a bid to avoid clashing with Akhil Akkineni's Hello and Nani's Middle Class Abbayi (MCA).
The makers had initially planned to release Okka Kshanam as a Christmas treat on December 22. But they were reportedly concerned about its prospects at the box office, as it was to compete with Hello and Middle Class Abbayi, which are also slated for worldwide release on the same date.
There was tremendous pressure on the makers of these three films to postpone their release. But since producers of Hello and Middle Class Abbayi declined to delay or advance their release, the Okka Kshanam team has reportedly decided to postpone it by one week to avoid suffering losses.
The teaser of Okka Kshanam has got a good response from the audience. Allu Sirish took to his Twitter handle to thank viewers for liking it. Meanwhile, he also revealed its new release date. He tweeted: "Thank you for the terrific response to our teaser. #OkkaKshanam now releasing on 28th December 2017."
