Megastar Chiranjeevi's upcoming film has been officially titled Kaaka. Director Bobby Kolli unveiled the title glimpse on Saturday, which also confirmed a Sankranthi 2027 release. NDTV reports the film will release on January 13, while Telugu360 says January 12.

The glimpse introduces Chiranjeevi in two avatars: a grounded middle-class supervisor named K Satyam working in the aqua industry, and a younger, stylish character in a flashback action sequence. The film also features Anaswara Rajan in a pivotal role.
Telugu360 reports that Chiranjeevi had earlier leaked a different title, Kadiri, which was intentionally wrong to divert attention. The makers have now locked Kaaka as the final title. KVN Productions is producing the film.
NDTV stuck to a neutral announcement of the title and glimpse details, omitting the earlier title leak entirely. Telugu360 framed the story around Chiranjeevi's deliberate misdirection, treating the wrong title as a promotional tactic rather than a mistake. A careful reader can reconcile both: the official title is Kaaka, the leak was a calculated diversion, and the glimpse has been well received. Watch for the film's Sankranthi release performance next year.
