It is widely known that Sankranthi season is a big festival for filmmakers. As the season is around the corner, many big-budget films are gearing up to book release slots during the same season.
Already official announcement came that Prabhas’ mythological drama, Adipurush will hit the screens on January 12th. On the other hand, Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy, Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya and Akhil Akkineni’s Agent are also gearing up for the same festival season release. Adding to it, Kollywood stars Vijay and Ajith’s films Varisu and Thunivu are also aiming for a simultaneous release in Telugu during the same season.
But for the past few weeks news is circulating among media circles that Prabhas’ Adipurush is likely to skip the announced release date. Though the makers remain tight-lipped on the postponement, the latest we hear from the trade circles is that Adipurush will vacate the Sankranthi season release. An official announcement regarding the same is expected to be out shortly.
News is also coming in that Adipurush is postponed to summer. A reputed Tollywood producer played key role in the postponement of Adipurush, say sources. Whatever might be the reason, Adipurush skipping the announced release date is a major relief for other festival releases.
