Megastar Chiranjeevi's Kaaka has officially locked a worldwide theatrical release on January 13, 2027, for the Sankranthi festival. Producer KVN Productions issued a statement debunking all postponement rumours, also announcing the first single is coming soon. Director Bobby Kolli's action entertainer thus remains on track for the festival slot.

The long-delayed Vishwambhara, directed by Vassishta, has no confirmed release date yet. Speculation had placed it at January 9, 2027, just four days before Kaaka. Tracktollywood.com reports that the Vishwambhara team has approached the Kaaka side to ask Chiranjeevi to resolve the clash, and that the film faces financial pressure from its prolonged delay. All eyes now rest on whether Vishwambhara will also go for Sankranthi or shift to another window, with Chiranjeevi expected to take the final call.
The coverage splits on what drives the story. Pro-production house sources (telugucinema.com, 123telugu.com) frame Kaaka's confirmation as final closure, treating Vishwambhara's delay as a minor question. Sensationalist source m9.news pumps the uncertainty into a headline mystery. Tracktollywood.com adds financial stress on both producers, omitted by others, making the clash seem sharper. The balanced reading: Kaaka is locked, Vishwambhara has no official date yet, and Chiranjeevi's calendar remains unresolved until a decision from him. That personal call is the concrete next step.
