Can Salman Khan Take on Spirit?

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has delivered many blockbuster films and enjoys a massive fan following. However, in recent years, he has struggled to find success, with several of his films failing to impress audiences. At this crucial point in his career, reports suggest that Salman Khan may face a box office clash with Prabhas and director Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s upcoming film Spirit in 2027.

Spirit is a massive and hyped project, as Prabhas has a huge pan-India fan base, and Sandeep Reddy Vanga is a strong brand in Indian cinema. The director has delivered massive hits like Kabir Singh and Animal, especially in the Hindi market. The first-look poster of Spirit has already created a strong buzz online, making it one of the most highly anticipated Indian films. The movie is officially scheduled for release on March 5, 2027, aiming for the Eid festival season.

Salman Khan’s Next Rumored to Be with Raj & DK Duo – Will There Be a Clash with Spirit?

Salman Khan is known for releasing his films during Eid. There has been buzz that he may collaborate with directors Raj & DK on an action-comedy film. This project is currently in the discussion stage and is expected to begin shooting in the second half of this year, with plans for an Eid 2027 release.

With Spirit already locking the same release window, it will be interesting to see whether Salman Khan chooses to face the clash or avoids it by selecting a different release date.

Naveen Polishetty Enters Tier-2 League with Anaganaga Oka Raju

Naveen Polishetty is one of the few heroes in Telugu cinema who comes from a non-film background and has built his career step by step through hard work and talent. His latest film, Anaganaga Oka Raju is performing excellently at the box office.

He made his debut as a lead actor with Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, which became a big success. After this film, he did not sign many projects in a hurry. Instead, he chose his films carefully and actively took part in the writing process, which is a major reason for his consistent success.

After Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, Naveen delivered an even bigger hit with Jathi Ratnalu. The film gave him a strong brand and market in the Telugu film industry. He continued his winning streak with Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty, which also performed well at the box office.

With these three films, Naveen gained strong support from A-centre markets and class audiences in cities like Hyderabad, Vizag, Bangalore, and overseas.

With Anaganaga Oka Raju, Naveen has now reached mass audiences as well. The film is performing well in all territories, including mass areas, and is expected to cross a ₹50 crore share in its full run. This success has helped him establish his brand among all sections of audiences.

His films are also doing strong business in non-theatrical markets, clearly showing his brand value and smart content choices.

Now, filmmakers are ready to invest bigger budgets in him, as he can comfortably lead films made on budgets of ₹50–75 crore. With this growth, Naveen Polishetty has officially entered the Tier-2 league of Telugu heroes.

Peddi vs Dhurandhar 2 vs Toxic – No One Is Moving From Mega Clash

March 2026 is set to witness intense competition at the Indian box office, with Dhurandhar 2, Toxic, and Peddi arriving in theatres within a short span. The trade and audiences look forward to these biggies.

Dhurandhar, the sensational blockbuster of Indian cinema, has rewritten several Hindi box office records. Its sequel has been officially announced for a March 19 release. Unlike the first part, Dhurandhar 2 is not limited to the Hindi market and is strongly targeting South Indian audiences as well.

Dhurandhar 2’s release date is set in stone

The makers have confirmed a pan-India release in all languages and are expecting strong anticipation from southern markets, especially after the film’s OTT success. Despite ongoing rumors about a possible postponement, the director once again confirmed today that the film will be released only on March 19.

Yash’s Toxic team is also committed to their March 19th release date

Toxic marks Yash’s first film after the KGF series, and naturally, the buzz around it is huge across all languages. The recently released teaser, whether it received positive or negative feedback, has created massive discussion online.

The makers are firm about their release plans and are ready to clash with Dhurandhar 2 on March 19. The film is not only a pan-India project but is also being released in international languages.

Peddi has already generated strong pan-India buzz through its promotional content. Both the teaser and the song Chikiri Chikiri received an excellent response across languages. It is a rooted mass entertainer directed by Buchi Babu, who comes from Sukumar’s school of filmmaking.

Can Peddi Stand Tall Against Toxic and Dhurandhar 2?

Trade circles are highly confident that the film has the potential to perform like Pushpa in pan-India markets. In a recent interview, Ram Charan confirmed March 27 as the release date, just one week after Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic.

All three films: Dhurandhar 2, Toxic, and Peddi are pan-Indian projects that depend on strong collections from multiple language markets. It now remains to be seen whether all three films stick to their planned release dates and face a direct box office clash.

Hindi Box Office Shock: Dhurandhar Week 6 Bigger Than Raja Saab Week 1

Hindi Box Office Shock: Dhurandhar Week 6 Bigger Than Raja Saab Week 1

Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, released during Sankranthi, has failed to make an impact at the box office. The film’s Hindi version has performed poorly from day one, and trade circles are shocked to see that Dhurandhar collected more in its sixth week than The Raja Saab managed in its first week.

Prabhas is known as the first South Indian star to build a proper market in Hindi markets, setting huge records with films like Baahubali and Kalki 2898 AD. Except for Radhe Shyam, all his films posted impressive numbers, even competing with Bollywood’s biggest stars.

The Raja Saab: A Major Disappointment in the Hindi Market

Unfortunately, The Raja Saab marks another setback after Radhe Shyam. The film released with low buzz and poor reviews, along with weak word of mouth, meant it never gained momentum.

The numbers highlight the struggle: The Raja Saab collected around ₹20 crore nett in its first week in Hindi, while Dhurandhar managed ₹25 crore nett in its sixth week. This stark comparison shows just how badly The Raja Saab has underperformed.

Spirit Not Part of Sankranthi Releases

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.

Dhurandhar 2 Release Date Finalized

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.

Champion OTT Streaming Details

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.

Ustaad Bhagat Singh Changes OTT Partner

Pawan Kalyan and Harish Shankar’s film, Ustaad Bhagat Singh, has changed its OTT partner. Initially, the prominent digital platform Prime Video bought the digital rights for the film, but it looks like, because of the film’s delay, the deal has been shifted to Netflix.

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.

The Raja Saab 1st Week Box Office: Disaster

Amidst massive expectations, The Raja Saab, a horror comedy fantasy starring Prabhas and directed by Maruthi, arrived in theaters on January 9th, but the film turned out to be a big disappointment for all the parties involved. It ends its first week with less than 50% recovery.

The Raja Saab – 1st Week Box Office (Approx)

  • Telugu States Share: 72.5 Cr
  • Telugu Version WW Share: ₹96 Cr
  • Including GST in Andhra & Nizam
  • Pre Business: ₹165 Cr
  • Recovery: 58%
  • All Languages Gross: ₹188 Cr
  • Break-even Target: ₹400 Cr+
  • Recovery: 47%

The Raja Saab continues its dull run at the box office and becomes a major disappointment for the buyers, as it stands with a worldwide gross of 188 Cr against a break-even target of 400 Cr.

Surprisingly, the film is not seeing much bigger numbers in the festival days, either. This weekend, the film will almost end its box office run, looking at the trend. The film did not get many numbers in Hindi as well.
