The much-anticipated film from Balakrishna and director Gopichand Malineni, which was initially expected to clash with other big films for a high-voltage Sankranthi 2027 release, has had its schedule altered. Sources now reveal that the project will arrive much earlier, targeting a Dussehra 2026 release instead. This surprising shift in plans has left the film industry buzzing, as trade circles were already preparing for a massive festive showdown in January 2027.
This change paves the way for another of Balakrishna’s upcoming films with director Harish Shankar to potentially lock in the Sankranthi 2027 slot, which is rumored to be designed as a perfect entertainer for the season. If the new plan holds, it would mean that Balakrishna will have two major films releasing within a three-month gap, an ambitious move for any star, regardless of their popularity.
Presents significant challenges. Managing promotional efforts, maintaining audience expectations, and sustaining box office momentum between these two major releases will require meticulous planning. However, fans of Balakrishna are excited about the possibility of a back-to-back festival clash, which could boost his presence in the box office race. While an official confirmation of these plans is still pending, if they materialize, it could usher in an action-packed phase for the actor, ensuring all eyes remain on his upcoming projects. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
