Sankranthi box office race is shaping up to be the most interesting battle for both audiences and the industry. With multiple films lined up for Sankranthi, there is always a lot of comparison regarding the films’ business and promotional content before release. These comparisons also help all films, as audiences show great interest in them. This is the reason why, during festivals, not just one film but multiple films score huge revenues.
For this Sankranthi, the two main biggies releasing are Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Gaaru and Prabhas’s The Raja Saab. From The Raja Saab, the teaser and trailer are already out. The team released visual content before the audio to showcase the scale of the film, where Maruthi succeeded.
Now it’s Thaman’s turn to deliver a big chartbuster album. The team is currently shooting songs in foreign locations. The first single is set to release on Prabhas’s birthday, 23rd October. Normally, releasing a single from a big film comes with a lot of pressure because expectations are high. Due to Prabhas’s previous films not having much scope for commercial songs, audiences are expecting The Raja Saab to bring the mass Prabhas factor, which the team is promising consistently.Adding to this pressure, Bheems has created another challenge for Thaman by delivering the chartbuster Meesaala Pilla song in Chiranjeevi’s film. Since both films are releasing for Sankranthi, there will definitely be comparisons between the two songs. It will be interesting to see where Thaman’s first single for The Raja Saab stands in the comparisons.
