The situation in Tollywood has gotten quite chaotic with conflicting pre-release events for major films. Initially, ‘Guntur Karam’ was set for its event on January 6th but faced government denial. Now, it’s rescheduled for January 7th, clashing with ‘Hanu-Man,’ which will have Megastar Chiranjeevi as the chief guest to avoid overlapping with ‘Guntur Karam’ initially.
Meanwhile, Venkatesh’s ‘Saindhav’ event in Vishakapatnam on the same day adds to the dilemma. The trouble intensifies because these events will be streamed online, causing a clash for attention on YouTube.
‘Guntur Karam’ being a big film might face challenges since other movies have prior channel agreements and Mahesh Babu’s event tends to get more prominence. The delay till January 8th seems too late. Adjusting timings could help, but the mess arose due to inadequate planning by the filmmakers.
Also, top anchor Suma Kanakala’s involvement in multiple events complicates things, as the postponement of ‘Guntur Karam’ forces her to miss Mahesh’s function the next day, given her prior commitment to ‘Hanu-Man’s’ event with Megastar Chiranjeevi. Overall, it’s a hectic situation caused by the clashes and scheduling conflicts among these prominent film events in Tollywood.
