'AD' Diwali gift to Pawan fans

Telugu action-drama "Attarintiki Daaredhi" is marching towards the Rs.100 crore mark and its makers have now decided to add six minutes of footage from Thursday as a Diwali gift to Pawan Kalyan fans.

Made for Rs.52 crore, the film, directed by Trivikram, has reportedly minted Rs.71 crore worldwide so far.

"The film is enjoying a successful run at the box-office. We thought as a diwali gift we should include additional six-minute footage to the film so that audiences can watch it during the festival weekend," the film's producer B.V.S.N Prasad told.

Diwali is on Nov 3 and Prasad said: "Audiences can watch the included additional footage from Oct 31. I'm sure this will draw all fans of Pawan Kalyan again to the cinemas."

Also starring Pranitha, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Boman Irani and Nadhiya, "Attarintiki Daaredhi" released worldwide Sep 27.
