Vijay Deverakonda’s Rowdy Janardhan likely delayed to 2027

Vijay Deverakonda's much-anticipated comeback film Rowdy Janardhan is unlikely to release in 2026, according to a report from Tupaki. The film, along with Ranabali, was initially scheduled for release later this year, but both projects are facing significant delays.

Tupaki reports that while Ranabali's delay was previously known, Rowdy Janardhan now also seems set to miss its December release. Sources indicate that 50 per cent of the work on Rowdy Janardhan remains incomplete, while 30 per cent of Ranabali's shoot is still pending, partly due to an injury suffered by actress Rashmika Mandanna.

Neither film is expected to be finished in 2026. However, Tupaki suggests both Ranabali and Rowdy Janardhan could release in the first half of 2027, potentially followed by a third project with director Shouryuv in the second half of that year.
