Sankranthi 2027’s Telugu film lineup is changing, with Chiranjeevi, Balakrishna and Nagarjuna reportedly moving out of the festival window. Telugu360 reports that Chiranjeevi’s Bobby-directed film may shift to summer 2027, Balakrishna’s release has no update after his injury, and Nagarjuna has shelved his Sankranthi project. Venkatesh and Kalyan Ram’s Anil Ravipudi film is set for January 13, while Sharwanand’s George Krish is announced for January 14. Sai Dharam Tej’s Sambarala Yeti Gattu is expected on January 12. Karthi’s film with Kalyan Shankar is also in the lineup, but lacks a date. M9.news had earlier listed Nagarjuna for January 15 and Chiranjeevi as a possible entrant.
