No theaters for Tamil films in Telugu states on Sankranthi. It is widely known that Superstar Rajinikanth’s Lal Salaam, which was scheduled to be released on Pongal/ Sankranthi, announced the postponement. The makers took the right decision by postponing Sankranthi as the film had a Rajinikanth cameo and needed the Telugu market. No theaters for Tamil films in Telugu states on Sankranthi
The films released on Sankranthi are Dhanush’s Captain Miller Captain, Siva Karthikeyan’s Ayalaan, Vijay Sethupathi’s Merry Christmas, and Arun Vijay’s Mission. Apart from Mission, all the other Tamil films have planned a parallel release in Telugu states, too, but as Sankranthi is packed with Telugu movies, there is no chance for these films to get theatres.
In a recent interaction with the media, Producer Dil Raju also confirmed that there are not enough theaters for our Telugu movies here, so we cannot give theaters for dubbing movies. He said Telugu movies would be prioritized first, and they will provide theaters for the Telugu movies. After that, dubbing films can be accommodated if any remaining theaters exist.
So, there won’t be any room for Tamil releases next Sankranthi because of the high number of Telugu films lined up. Allocating a minimum number of screens for Tamil films would be challenging due to the more significant business being done for Telugu films. Guntur Kaaram, Hanuman Saindhav, and Eagle have been made on huge budgets. All the Tamil films may be released in Telugu after the completion of the Sankranthi holidays.
