Sankranthi 2027: Festival Slot Already Packed

Telugu audiences enjoyed multiple successful releases this Sankranthi, including Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, Anaganaga Oka Raju, and Nari Nari Naduma Murari, all of which performed well at the box office. Now, Sankranthi 2027 is shaping up to be even bigger, with the festive release slots already packed.

Several major films are aiming for a Sankranthi 2027 release, including:

– Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi’s film
– Chiranjeevi and Bobby’s film
– Balakrishna and Gopichand Malineni’s film
– Naga Chaitanya and Harish Shankar’s film
– Sharwanand and Sreenu Vaitla’s film

The announcement of these five films has greatly excited fans. Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi have already delivered two Sankranthi blockbusters with F2 and Sankranthiki Vasthuna, and the duo will be aiming for a hat-trick at Sankranthi 2027.

Balakrishna and Gopichand Malineni earlier scored a Sankranthi hit with Veera Simha Reddy, while in the same season, Chiranjeevi delivered a blockbuster with Waltair Veerayya under Bobby’s direction. Sharwanand, who has enjoyed multiple Sankranthi successes including Nari Nari Naduma Murari, is once again set to release a film during his favorite festival. Naga Chaitanya also joins the festive race with a film directed by Harish Shankar.

Naga Chaitanya Aims for Sankranthi Release

Naga Chaitanya is said to have signed a project with Sithara Entertainments, and Harish Shankar is in discussions to direct this film. If everything goes well, the movie’s team is planning for a Sankranthi 2027 release.

Interestingly, the first film of Sithara Entertainments by Naga Vamsi was Premam (2016), which starred Naga Chaitanya. Now, the combination is getting repeated after almost a decade. Another interesting point is that, to date, Naga Chaitanya has only released one film during the Sankranthi festival, and that is Bangarraju (2022).

Naga Chaitanya Set to Release Two Films in a Small Timeframe

Chaitanya is currently working with Virupaksha fame Karthik Dandu on Vrushakarma, a mythical action thriller targeting a late summer or 2nd half release this year.

The film’s title and first-look poster received a positive response, and it stars Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead and Sparsh Shrivastava (of Laapataa Ladies fame) as the antagonist. Veteran actor Jayaram also plays a key role.

Sai Pallavi in Kalki 2898 AD: Big Budget Relief, Bigger Challenge Ahead

The Telugu cinema fans received news that actress Sai Pallavi enters the Kalki sequel in place of Deepika Padukone. Currently there are many discussions on social media about this change and how it will fit in the film’s journey. 

But if we observe, Sai Pallavi replacing Deepika Padukone in Kalki sequel saves the producers at least ₹30 crore in the budget due to differences in remuneration and terms. But it will be a big challenge for Sai Pallavi and the team to match the screen presence and impact of Deepika from the first part.

Nag Ashwin directs this film and Vyajayanthi Movies produces it. Amitabh Bachchan and Kamal Haasan will reprise their roles from the first part, and audiences have big expectations for the film, which will start its shoot soon.

Priyamani Gets Career-High Pay Opposite Chiranjeevi

Priyamani, who was last seen in the 2025 Malayalam crime thriller Officer on Duty, is all set to pair up with Megastar Chiranjeevi for his upcoming film, and she is receiving her career-best remuneration for the film. 

According to industry sources, Priyamani is said to be receiving a record-breaking remuneration to play the female lead opposite Chiranjeevi in the much-anticipated film Mega158, directed by Bobby. This is reportedly the highest pay the actress has ever received in her career.

Chiranjeevi and Bobby set to deliver another blockbuster following the success of Waltair Veerayya

The Chiranjeevi-Bobby combination has a special craze among fans, as the duo’s previous film, Waltair Veeraiya, was a blockbuster at the box office. Keeping that success in mind, expectations have increased immensely for the upcoming ‘Mega 158.’ 

The film is said to be a powerful gangster action drama, and there is a buzz that Mohanlal and Krithi Shetty also will be seen in crucial roles in this film, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Dhurandhar 2 Teaser: Fans Disappointed

There is massive excitement around the sequel to the blockbuster Dhurandhar. When the makers announced the release of the teaser, fans were thrilled. But the excitement soon turned into disappointment, as the teaser of Dhurandhar 2 did not feature any new visuals.

Audiences expected fresh scenes or powerful dialogues, but the teaser only reused the glimpse shown at the end of the first part. This left many fans disappointed, as it felt like the makers released the teaser mainly to reconfirm the film’s release date rather than offer something new.

In Dhurandhar 2, Hamza Ali Mazari (Jaskirat Singh) continues his relentless mission to dismantle the Pakistani crime system, setting his sights on the cunning Major Iqbal and his allies. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the high-octane sequel, titled Dhurandhar: The Revenge, is scheduled for release on March 19, 2026.

R. Madhavan, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal will reprise their roles, along with Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi. Akshaye Khanna is also expected to appear in flashback sequences, following his character’s fate in the first film.

Produced by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the film features music by Shashwat Sachdev and cinematography by Vikash Nowlakha.

Lokesh Kanagaraj Fails, Nelson Succeeds

Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan decided to do a multistarrer film, and they initially considered Lokesh Kanagaraj as an option, but as he failed to impress them, another director, Nelson, grabbed the opportunity.

The official announcement of Thalaivar 173 is expected to be out very soon with a video. With this, Nelson is doing three consecutive films with Rajinikanth: Jailer, Jailer 2, and the Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan multistarrer.

Nelson’s career soars after Jailer’s success

After a setback like Beast, scoring a massive blockbuster like Jailer and getting even bigger projects from the same star is kind of a comeback that is truly fantastic from the director Nelson Dilipkumar. 

Nelson debuted as a director with Kolamaavu Kokila (2018), which was a successful film, followed by big hits like Doctor (2021), and the blockbuster Jailer (2023), establishing himself as a top director.
