> Sai Dharam Tej is gearing up for the release of, Virupaksha. The film, set to hit theaters today, has generated a fair amount of buzz post release.

[Sai Dharam Tej](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/sai-dharam-tej) is all set to make a comeback with his latest offering, [Virupaksha](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/virupaksha). Directed by Karthik Dandu, this supernatural thriller stars [Samyuktha Menon](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/samyuktha-menon) as the female lead and was released today. While the trailer has generated decent buzz, the movie isn't carrying heavy expectations, and the advance bookings are average.

However, [Virupaksha](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/virupaksha) has a few factors working in its favor that could help it perform well at the box office. With no notable films to compete against, it has a clear week for a solo release. The recent releases Shaakuntalam and Ravanasura failed to impress the audience, and Nani's Dasara is approaching its final run. Additionally, the upcoming summer holidays could boost its chances of success.

[Virupaksha](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/virupaksha) has become the go-to choice for many audiences this week, and if it receives positive word-of-mouth, it could emerge as a profitable venture. However, it must make the most of this week's window since Akhil's Agent and Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan 2 are slated to hit theaters next week. All eyes are on [Virupaksha](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/virupaksha) to see if it can cash in on the opportunity and make a mark at the box office.
