Megastar Chiranjeevi's 71st birthday on August 22 saw the Vishwambhara team release a new poster and original soundtrack (OST). The poster shows a close-up of Chiranjeevi with a trident in the foreground, while the OST, composed by Gowra Hari of Hanu-Man fame, features thunderous percussion and chants. Oscar-winner MM Keeravani has composed the film's songs. The film, a socio-fantasy directed by Vassishta and produced by UV Creations, also stars Trisha Krishnan, Ashika Ranganath and Kunal Kapoor.
However, no release date was announced. Greatandhra reports the makers plan to reveal it soon, and Telugu360 (source 4) says an announcement is imminent. But Telugu360 (source 3) and Telugucinema.com note the film, launched three and a half years ago, has faced multiple delays. Telugucinema.com adds that an OTT deal is yet to be finalised, contributing to the hold-up. Chiranjeevi's other film, Kaaka, is set for January 13, 2027, leaving Vishwambhara with limited slots, possibly October or November 2026 or summer 2027.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Coverage splits between fan-focused promotion and concern over the missing release date. Greatandhra and 123telugu.com lead with the poster and OST, treating the birthday update as positive news. M9.news and Telugu360 (source 4) adopt a celebratory, sensationalist tone, calling the track 'goosebump-inducing.' In contrast, Telugu360 (source 3) and Telugucinema.com frame the same event as a disappointment, highlighting the lack of a release plan and the film's long delay. The measured read: a new poster and OST are genuine updates, but the absence of a release date, with OTT deals pending and VFX still in progress, means the film's timeline remains uncertain. Watch for an official date announcement, likely tied to Dasara 2026 or Sankranthi 2027.
