The Sankranti 2027 race is now set. Five big Telugu films have locked their release plans for the festival, making it one of the most crowded and exciting Sankranti seasons in recent years.
Here’s the full line-up.
Sankranti 2027 Releases
- January 8: Mahakali
- January 12: January 12 Vidudala
- January 13: Kaaka
- January 14: George Krish
- Sankranti: Family Pack
1. Mahakali (January 8)
Mahakali kicks off the festive season. The film comes from the universe of HanuMan and marks the next chapter in the Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe (PVCU).
Written, conceptualised and created by Prasanth Varma, Mahakali is directed by Puja Kolluru, presented by RK Duggal and produced by Riwaz Ramesh Duggal under RKD Studios.
The film features a big ensemble cast, including Akshaye Khanna, Sriya Reddy, Khushbu Sundar, Bhoomi Shetty, Rohit Saraf, Rakesh Bedi, Jitin Gulati, Rajat Kapoor, Murali Sharma and Nassar.
Mahakali releases in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. Its first single, “Aigiri Nandini”, was recently released.
2. January 12 Vidudala (January 12)
Venkatesh and Anil Ravipudi’s January 12 Vidudala arrives on January 12. The film, which also stars Nandamuri Kalyan Ram, is currently in its final shooting schedule.
The pre-release business is already in full swing, with deals closed in a few areas. Coming from the director of Sankranti blockbuster Sankranthiki Vasthunam, it is one of the most awaited films of the season.
3. Kaaka (January 13)
Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Kaaka comes the next day, on January 13. It reunites Chiranjeevi with director Bobby Kolli, the combination behind the Sankranti blockbuster Waltair Veerayya.
Kaaka’s business is also in full swing, with deals already closed in a few areas.
4. George Krish (January 14)
George Krish, starring Sharwanand and directed by Sreenu Vaitla, releases on January 14. The makers have already locked distributors across all areas for the film.
5. Family Pack (Sankranti)
Sree Vishnu’s Family Pack, directed by Ram Abbaraju, is also coming for Sankranti. Ram Abbaraju earlier gave Sree Vishnu the hit Samajavaragamana, which raises expectations for this family entertainer.
What About SYG?
Sai Durgha Tej’s SYG, his biggest film yet, had also been announced for Sankranti. But it is now unlikely to make it to the festival.
A Packed Festival
With five releases, Sankranti 2027 is completely packed. From a mythological superhero film to big star entertainers and family dramas, the festival has something for every audience.
The big question now is how the theatres will be shared, and which film will win the Sankranti race.
