The upcoming Sankranti in 2024 is poised to be a cinematic spectacle with five highly anticipated films vying for attention. Leading the pack is Mahesh Babu’s much-awaited “Guntur Kaaram,” a film that has garnered immense buzz among fans. However, the real challenge lies in the logistical nightmare surrounding the allocation of theaters for each film, a conundrum that has become a headache for trade analysts.
While Mahesh Babu’s film takes precedence with the maximum number of theaters, the remaining quartet comprising “Naa Saami Ranga,” “Eagle,” “Saindhav,” and “Hanuman” faces a delicate balance. Interestingly, “Saindhav” seems to have a slight upper hand, thanks to Suresh Babu’s ownership of theaters, potentially influencing the allocation.
Adding fuel to the fire, producer Dil Raju recently addressed the media, expressing concern over the crowded Sankranti lineup. Raju urged fellow producers to consider stepping back from the race, allowing for a smoother distribution of releases. The deadline for this decision looms, with the chamber ensuring a solo release for any film opting out. As the industry holds its breath, the question remains – will any producer be willing to change their plans? As of now, the promotional engines for all five films are running at full throttle, indicating that Sankranti 2024 will witness an intense battle for box office supremacy. Only time will tell if any contenders will yield to the pressure and make a strategic retreat from this grand cinematic clash.
