Sankranthi festivity has been a splendid occasion for Telugu cinema, and the anticipation for Sankranthi 2027 has begun already. Theaters are going to have a great box office battle because six major films have decided to compete for the festive slot. The theme of the war is definitely Megastar Chiranjeevi and genius Anil Ravipudi, whose movies will be premiering together, so let us get ready for a merry festival showdown.
Currently, Chiranjeevi the Megastar is atop the success of his last movie Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu which completely surprised the trade circles by recovering its investment within only six days of release. Producers have announced that the film has crossed the ₹250 crore gross mark, reaffirming Chiru’s strong pull at the box office. The focus is now on upcoming festival releases as five Tollywood movies have already been released during this Sankranthi, and it seems Sankranthi 2027 is already packed.
Mega 158, the second project of Chiranjeevi and director Bobby, is one of the films that has already generated a lot of curiosity. The production company KVN Productions is behind the movie and it has been decided that the film will be opened up on Sankranthi 2027. The last collaboration Waltair Veerayya, which released during the same festival, was a big hit and thus the excitement for the present project is really high.
Coming from the other side of the festival is a possible reunion of Venkatesh and director Anil Ravipudi. A few months back, it was thought that Ravipudi might work with Nagarjuna, but now the producer Dil Raju is said to be very interested in getting the successful Venky-Anil combo back for this film. If it is all confirmed, then this film will too have the February 2027 date as its release which in turn would mean a face-off with Chiranjeevi’s Mega 158.
Equally, the 39th movie of Sharwanand backed by the renowned Mythri Movie Makers is also eyeing the January 2027 release. The clash is likely to accelerate with the audit being on the cards very soon, driving the competition to hotter levels.
Film production company Sithara Entertainments is said to be planning another grand movie for the 2027 festive season after releasing Anaganaga Oka Raju this Sankranthi. Though nothing is officially stated regarding the cast and director, people with the industry insider information hint that it might have a “crazy combination.”
Another competitor that has been publicly acknowledged is the film starring Teja Sajja which People’s Media Factory is going to produce. The makers are very likely to schedule cartoon release during the 2027 Sankranthi as the actor’s popularity is steadily rising.
What is more, the Sankranthi race could not only be combined with the Telugu film industry but also with the Hindi film industry. Rajinikanth’s 173rd film, produced by Kamal Haasan, is also expected to be released during the Sankranthi festival of 2027, which might mahout into a pan-Indian box office spectacular during the festive season.
The presence of Chiranjeevi, Venkatesh, Rajinikanth, and numerous potential films in the pipeline has already made Sankranthi 2027 one of the most packed and thrilling festival seasons in a long time—a real treat for the fans of the cinema.
