Sithara Entertainments has a long list of completed films that have been waiting for a release, and producer Naga Vamsi is finally starting to clear them. Two of them, Alcohol and Visa, now have release dates, and several more are set to follow.
Alcohol: December 18
Allari Naresh’s Alcohol is finally arriving in theatres worldwide on December 18. The film was first planned for January 1, 2026, and after missing that date it has taken almost a year to reach the screens.
Directed by Meher Tej of Family Drama fame, Alcohol is a thriller in which Allari Naresh plays a stylish businessman, a big departure from his comedy image. Interestingly, despite the title, his character doesn’t drink in the film. Ruhani Sharma is the female lead, and Ghibran and Chaitan Bharadwaj have composed the music.
Visa: January 1, 2027
Visa – Vintara Saradaga, a romantic comedy directed by Udbhav, will release on January 1, 2027, after multiple postponements. Ashok Galla, Sri Gouri Priya, Rahul Vijay and Shivathmika Rajasekhar play the lead roles, and Vijai Bulganin has composed the music.
Still Waiting: Magic
Gowtam Tinnanuri’s Magic, a musical with Anirudh Ravichander’s music, finished shooting a long time ago. The coming-of-age film, about four teenagers composing an original song for their college fest, was once announced for December 21, 2024, but it never released. There has been talk of both a theatrical and a direct OTT release, but no update yet. It is now likely to get a release date soon.
Emo Emo Idi
Roshan Meka’s Emo Emo Idi, directed by Sailesh Kolanu, was set for October 30 but was postponed because of Aadarsha Kutumbam. A new date is yet to be announced.
Takshakudu on Netflix
Takshakudu, starring Anand Deverakonda and directed by Vinod Anantoju of Middle Class Melodies fame, is a direct Netflix film. Anand plays a blind man who sets out with his loyal dog to avenge his villagers. The shoot wrapped in July, but the film is yet to arrive on Netflix.
Mad Juniors
Sithara is also making Mad Juniors, and its release date is yet to be announced.
Updates on the Way
With Alcohol and Visa now dated, the rest of Sithara’s pending films are set to start getting updates soon.
