Spirit Not Part of Sankranthi Releases

0

Spirit, the film, marks the first-ever collaboration of Prabhas and Sandeep Reddy Vanga, and it produced a lot of hype with the announcement itself. There were strong rumors that the film would arrive in the theaters on Sankranthi in 2027, but Sandeep Vanga officially announced that Spirit is not a part of Sankranthi releases.

Sankranthi became the biggest slot for Telugu Cinemas, and many films started targeting it in recent years to get big collections at the box office. As said above, there was a huge buzz that Spirit would be one of the Sankranthi releases in 2027.

But the makers deny those rumors by officially confirming that the movie will be released on 5th March, 2027. It’s actually the best choice for film, as the Sankranthi slot does not suit Pan India films.

0

For a few months, there has been a buzz that the Dhurandhar sequel has been postponed from March 19th to avoid a clash with Yash’s Toxic, which is also scheduled to be released on the same date. But director Aditya Dhar has confirmed that Dhurandhar 2 will not have any change in its release date.

Even after 7 weeks from its release, Dhurandhar is still getting considerable collections at the box office, and fans are sharing their love on social media, such as Instagram and X (Twitter).

A fan wrote on Insta, “I think it is more than a week since I went to watch Dhurandhar for a second time in the theatre, and honestly, I am still obsessed with it, and I still feel like watching it again and again… You are truly a GOAT director, can’t wait for Dhurandhar 2! India is blessed to have a director like you!” Aditya reposted it on his Instagram Stories and wrote in the caption, “So sweet! Thanks! See you in cinemas on 19th March!”

So, it is confirmed by the post of Adiya Dhar that Dhurandhar 2 will not be postponed and will arrive on the said date. 

Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic Set for a Big Box Office Clash

Made as a spy action thriller, the Aditya Dhar directorial is inspired by real-life geopolitical events such as the 1999 IC-814 hijacking, the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, and the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. The sequel will show Ranveer Singh’s character Hamza/Jaskirat’s backstory. The film also stars Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, and Rakesh Bedi, among others.

Toxic is a period gangster drama with Rukmini Vasanth, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Huma Qureshi, Akshay Oberoi, Sudev Nair, and Yash as the lead. Directed by Geetu Mohandas, it marks Yash’s return after KGF: Chapter 2.

0

Roshan’s Champion was released this Christmas and failed to achieve success at the box office, and now the film’s OTT streaming details are out. The film was expected to be a big hit as Roshan took a long time after Blockbuster debut Pelli SandaD.

Also, the film’s production house, Vyjayanthi Movies, is known for delivering classic blockbusters, so the film had big expectations. But, when it hit theaters on 25th December, Roshan’s Champion failed to impress at the box office and ended up as a big failure.

The movie’s digital rights have been bought by Netflix for a high price of around 16 Cr for all South languages. The buzz is that it will stream from 23rd January in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.

Champion Movie Plot and Cast Details:

Made as a period sports action drama, Champion is directed by Praadeep Advaitham, starring Roshan Meka and Anaswara Rajan. The film’s plot follows an aspiring football player whose dreams of moving to England become entangled with the historic Bhairanpally revolt in pre-independence Hyderabad.

It also stars Nandamuri Kalyana Chakravarthy, Kay Kay Menon, Santhosh Prathap, Murali Sharma, Vennela Kishore, Kovai Sarala, Prakash Raj, and Ranvir Shorey in crucial roles.

The OTT giant, Netflix, announced officially that it is the streaming partner of Ustaad Bhagat Singh, and the film will stream on it after the theatrical release in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada.

The release date of the film is yet to be announced, and there is likely to be an update very soon. The makers have already said that they are targeting the summer of 2026 for the release. Currently, Pawan Kalyan’s OG is streaming on Netflix.
