Sankranti Buzz: Which Movies Are on the Postponement List?

Sankranti is a prime time for movie releases in Telugu states due to increased family outings for entertainment. This year, the blockbuster success of “Hanuman,” released on OTT, grossing over 300 crores worldwide, has set high expectations for its sequel.

Additionally, Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film “Vishwambhara,” featuring extensive CGI work, is slated for a Sankranti release, albeit facing challenges in meeting the deadline amidst CGI complexities. However, with the possibility of delays in CGI-intensive projects like “Vishwambhara,” speculations arise regarding potential clashes with other Sankranti releases.

Notably, Prabhas‘s film “The Raja Saab,” backed by People Media Factory, is eyeing a Sankranti release, hinting at a strategic move to avoid direct competition with Chiranjeevi’s film. The industry buzz suggests a delicate balance as studios like UV Creations and People Media Factory navigate release dates to avoid clashes and maximize box office returns.

Ultimately, the decision regarding “The Raja Saab” release hinges on the status of “Vishwambhara,” emphasizing the interconnectedness and strategic maneuvering within the Telugu film industry’s competitive landscape during festival seasons like Sankranti.
