Vishwambhara rumours about a two-part release have been officially dismissed by director Mallidi Vassishta, bringing relief to Megastar Chiranjeevi fans who were concerned about the fantasy film being split unnecessarily.
Production Delays Spark Two-Part Speculation
Vishwambhara has been on floors for an extended period, with its original January 2025 release date postponed due to post-production challenges. While shooting has reportedly wrapped, the VFX-heavy film remains in post-production as the technical team completes complex visual effects work.
The makers are now targeting a July or August 2026 theatrical release, joining other big-budget Telugu films facing similar delays. The prolonged timeline led to speculation on social media that the film would be split into two parts, with Part 1 releasing this year and Part 2 following within three months.
Why Fans Opposed the Two-Part Idea
The two-part Vishwambhara rumours sparked immediate concern among fans. Many felt that splitting the film purely for commercial gain, without sufficient narrative justification, could backfire critically.
Fans also worried that if Part 1 underperformed at the box office, the studio might shelve Part 2 entirely—leaving the story incomplete. For Chiranjeevi’s ambitious fantasy venture, which has already faced production delays, an incomplete release would be a disappointing outcome.
Vassishta’s Clever Response Ends Speculation
Director Mallidi Vassishta put an end to the speculation with a witty social media response. When the two-part release news surfaced online, he simply commented “Oh really… is that true?”—clearly indicating there is no truth to the Vishwambhara rumours.
The film is expected to release as a single, complete feature. The OTT deal is also expected to be finalized before the theatrical release, with streaming platforms showing strong interest in Chiranjeevi’s fantasy epic.
