Seetha Payanam was theatrically released on 14 February 2026, coinciding with Valentine's Day and received mixed reviews from critics.
Seetha loses her mother in childhood, and her father, Rajendra Prasad, raises her with immense love, becoming both mother and father. They share a close bond, but Seetha always avoids the topic of marriage. She travels from Vizag to Hyderabad for work, where she meets Abhi. During the journey, a few unexpected incidents change her life. What exactly happened on the trip? What roles do Giri and Pawan play? And finally, does Seetha get married or not? The answers unfold on screen.
Reports that Arjun directing Vishwak Sen in the Telugu debut film of Aishwarya Arjun came in May 2022. After a fallout, both Arjun and Viswak Sen decided to part ways.
The film's title was officially announced in October 2024 with Niranjan Sudhindra replacing Vishwak Sen, marking his Telugu debut.
The soundtrack and background score are composed by Anup Rubens. The audio rights were acquired by Saregama.
Divya Shree of The Times of India rated it 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "While it impresses with performances, visuals, and intent, it falls short of becoming a truly memorable cinematic experience". Suresh Kavirayani of Cinema Express rated the film 1.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Seetha Payanam turns out to be a tedious journey rather than an emotional one".
