Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Megastar Chiranjeevi has rejoined the sets of his long-delayed film Vishwambara, allotting four days to shoot pending portions. Telugu360 reports that the reshoot will complete Chiranjeevi's part, and that post-production and VFX work are progressing fast. The film, directed by Vassishta and produced by UV Creations, stars Trisha Krishnan and features music by MM Keeravani. 123telugu.com reports that the VFX work has been causing delays and that release plans depend on completing VFX and finalising the OTT deal. While some sources say the film could release during Dussehra, others suggest it may not release this year. No official announcement has been made by the makers.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Telugu360 frames the shoot resumption as a sign of fast progress, leading with that fact and mentioning budget recovery needs. 123telugu leads with fan frustration and VFX delays, presenting the shoot as a brief wrap-up with no guarantee of a 2024 release. Both agree on the four-day shoot and missing official release date. The core uncertainty is the VFX and OTT deal timeline. The makers' next formal update will settle whether Dussehra remains viable. The real test is the VFX completion deadline and the OTT deal closure. Without an announcement, 2024 release remains uncertain.
