Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Vishwambhara has been in the news for quite some time, with its theatrical release facing repeated delays. The highly anticipated fantasy action drama was expected to arrive much earlier, but extensive VFX work has reportedly pushed the release plans further.
Now, the latest industry buzz suggests that the makers may be eyeing a Sankranthi 2026 release for the film. Although there is no official confirmation yet, discussions regarding the festival slot are reportedly taking place.
Vishwambhara Eyeing Sankranthi Release?
According to the latest reports doing the rounds, the team behind Vishwambhara is considering bringing the film to theatres during the Sankranthi season. The makers are said to be working on the release strategy, while the film’s OTT deal is also reportedly nearing completion.
Given the scale of Vishwambhara and the extensive visual effects involved, the team appears to be taking additional time to ensure that the final output meets expectations before locking the theatrical date.
However, the Sankranthi release plan is still only a reported development, and an official announcement from the makers is awaited.
What Happens to Kaaka?
If Vishwambhara eventually locks the Sankranthi slot, it could create a scheduling issue for Kaaka, which was previously announced as a festival release.
With two major films potentially competing for the same festive window, Kaaka may have to consider moving to another release date. The final decision is expected to depend on how the makers plan their respective releases.
According to the current buzz, the call could ultimately rest with Megastar Chiranjeevi and the Vishwambhara team.
Mega Fans Await Clarity
The latest rumours have understandably created confusion among Mega fans, who have been waiting for an official update on Vishwambhara’s release. After the long delay, the possibility of the film finally arriving for Sankranthi has generated fresh excitement.
At the same time, the uncertainty surrounding Kaaka’s release has added another layer to the situation. Until the makers officially announce the release dates, both possibilities remain open.
For now, all eyes are on the Vishwambhara team for clarity on whether Chiranjeevi’s much-awaited film will indeed make its way to theatres during the Sankranthi season.
