Every year, the festivities continue for around 11-12 days. Vinayaka Chavithi usually ends after 11 days when a statue of Lord Ganesh is sunk into the sea. However, Vinayaka Chavithi 2020 will be celebrated conservatively, as the COVID-19 pandemic has made it dangerous to travel around in crowds.
Meanwhile, Mohan Babu will next be seen in the Tamil-language biopic Soorarai Pottru. The movie is based on the life of G. R. Gopinath, the founder of Air Deccan. The film is directed by Sudha Kongara and is set to release on Amazon Prime Video on October 30, 2020. Mohan Babu will play the role of M. Naidu in the film while the lead role will be played by actor Suriya Sivakumar.
