Sankranthi season is expected to be huge for Tollywood in 2023. The greatest conflicts in Telugu movies are anticipated during the approaching holiday season. At the box office, stars like Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna, Prabhas, Tamil actor Vijay, and Akhil Akkineni will fight for supremacy.
Prabhas’ “Adipurush” is the most popular Sankranthi release all throughout India. The movie debuts on January 12. Nearly a year ago, the “Adipurush” crew reserved the release date. On the same day, Thalapathy Vijay’s bilingual film “Varasudu/Varisu” will also be released.
On the other side, Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya and Balakrishna’s “Veera Simha Reddy” have also said they will be released on Sankranthi holiday. The unexpected announcement was made by Surrendar Reddy and Akkineni Akhil’s “Agent” in addition to all of these big movies. The ‘Agent’ producers also said that Sankranthi will see the release of their movie.
For Tollywood, the scenario is quite unusual and alarming as its top performers compete for thaters on the Sankranthi season. All of them, with the exception of “Agent,” are powerhouses, and the number of theatres in Telugu states and beyond would be quite problematic for the producers and actors. Although nothing has been formally stated, several sources claim that some of the big movies may take a back foot from sankranthi race. Let’s wait and watch how this major clash plays out.
