In a notable development in Tollywood, a shift in release dates is causing ripples among some of the most anticipated films. According to strong online rumors, there is speculation that the release of ‘Pushpa 2: The Rule’ may be delayed until Dussehra, potentially impacting other films eyeing August 15 as their release date.
While there has been no official confirmation regarding its release date, ‘Saripodhaa Sanivaaram,’ directed by Nani, is rumored to be targeting August 15th. Similarly, ‘Family Star,’ featuring Vijay Deverakonda and Mruanal Thakur, is also in the mix, vying for the same release date.
Adding to the complexity, the speculation surrounding a potential delay in Jr. NTR’s ‘Devara,’ which marks the debut of Janhvi Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, has further muddled the release schedule. The possibility of a clash between ‘Devara’ and ‘Saripodhaa Sanivaaram’ on the same day, or a clash with Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2’ on Dussehra, looms large, though nothing is confirmed.
The eagerly awaiting fans are looking for official announcements to bring clarity to the cinematic calendar, while the film industry is navigating the challenge of finding favorable release dates. These timing considerations have a ripple effect, impacting box office revenues.
The teams behind these movies are expected to strategically plan their release dates. Recent clashes, such as Mahesh Babu’s ‘Guntur Kaaram,’ Prasanth Varma’s ‘Hanu Man,’ Nagarjunga’s ‘Naa Saami Ranga,’ and Venkatesh’s ‘Saindhav’ during the Sankranti release in the past weeks, highlight the challenges of simultaneous releases, affecting both audience reception and the business of the films.
