The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Trade chatter often presents every announced date as a confirmed clash, while another lazy narrative treats a crowded festival as automatic proof of industry strength. Neither holds up. Telugu360’s revised list still includes films with tentative dates, an undated Karthi project and an expected dubbed release. The real test is the final number of Telugu films retaining release dates by December 2026, not today’s provisional posters.
