Producer Sahu Garapati has said that his upcoming Sankranthi 2027 film January 12 Vidudala will be an even bigger hit than Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu (MSVG), the industry hit that dominated the Sankranthi 2026 season. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the film stars Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram and is scheduled for release on January 12, 2027.

Garapati expressed strong confidence in the project, citing Anil Ravipudi's successful box office track record. He also noted that the combination of Venkatesh's family appeal and Kalyan Ram's mass image has already created strong buzz for the film.
Sankranthi is the most lucrative release window in the Telugu film calendar, and a producer predicting a bigger haul than the previous year's industry hit is a high-stakes claim. Anil Ravipudi's last three films have each crossed Rs 100 crore at the box office, making his track record the strongest argument for the prediction. The film pits two established heroes from the same family, Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram, in what is likely a dual-lead format, a casting choice that can either double the audience base or split it if the roles are uneven. The real benchmark will be the film's first three-day gross in January 2027, compared with MSVG's opening weekend figures.
