Release dates have grown to be a top worry for filmmakers in the Tollywood industry. They are savagely competing for dates even three months in advance, which creates a chaotic environment where movies are rescheduled. It’s becoming apparent that March 2024 will be important, particularly for mid-level heroes.
Ram Pothineni announced ‘Double Ismart’ for March 8th right when shooting commenced. Similarly, Vishwak Sen’s ‘Gangs of Godavari’ is set for March, clashing with Ram’s release. Vijay Deverakonda, initially rumored to avoid Sankranti, now finds a March release for ‘Family Star’ post its post-production phase.
Even Sandeep Kishan’s ‘Ooru Peru Bhairavakona’ is eyeing a March slot due to February’s dry season. This trend is not just among big films; even smaller ones like ‘Ambajipeta Marriage Bang’ are joining the March rush. The reason behind this rush is the lineup of pan-Indian films from April, leaving fewer theaters for mid-level movies.
With ‘Tillu Square’ as the solitary notable release in February, many producers are banking on March to secure theaters. The anticipation for March remains high as it seems to be the golden window for these mid-level heroes before the pan-Indian film frenzy takes over. Only time will reveal how the situation unfolds in March.
