The announcement of five major films for Sankranti 2024 has stirred up a whirlwind of excitement among fans, but it has also sparked a lingering sense of uncertainty.
With big-ticket movies like Mahesh Babu’s ‘Guntur Kaaram,’ Nagarjuna’s ‘Naa Saami Ranga,’ Venkatesh’s ‘Saindhav,’ Ravi Teja’s ‘Eagle,’ and Teja Sajja’s ‘Hanuman’ vying for the festive spotlight, a question looms large over whether all these films will indeed make it to the theaters for the anticipated festival.
The buzz surrounding the potential clash has not only captivated the audience but has also instilled a sense of tension among distributors and producers alike.
Amidst the speculation and palpable apprehension, a crucial meeting was convened among the producers of these five films to deliberate on their release strategies.
The aim was to reconsider the dates and alleviate the mounting pressure surrounding the festival release.
However, the outcome of the meeting revealed a significant twist in the tale, as all producers, except the one behind ‘Hanuman,’ attended the discussion.
Reports suggest that the producer of ‘Hanuman’ is resolute in sticking to the Sankranti release date, refusing to budge despite the mounting pressure from the other filmmakers.
The spotlight is particularly intense on ‘Hanuman,’ the comparatively smaller film in the lineup.
With festival traditions dictating a dominant presence of star-studded releases, the producers of the other films are reportedly pressuring ‘Hanuman’ to either back out from Sankranti or consider shifting its release date to accommodate the larger releases.
Surprisingly, the absence of the ‘Hanuman’ producer in the crucial meeting further complicates the situation, indicating a firm stance against any potential alterations in the release plan.
While the other four films—’Guntur Kaaram,’ ‘Eagle,’ ‘Saindhav,’ and ‘Naa Saami Ranga’—remain steadfast in their commitment to the Sankranti 2024 release, the exact release date for the latter is yet to be officially announced.
‘Guntur Kaaram’ and ‘Hanuman’ are scheduled for release on January 12th, followed by ‘Eagle’ and ‘Saindhav’ on January 13th.
The release date for ‘Naa Saami Ranga’ is anticipated to be unveiled soon, and as per reports, it is expected to hit the screens on January 14th.
The ball is currently in the court of the ‘Hanuman’ team, and as the days unfold, the industry and fans alike are eager to witness how this high-stakes clash plays out.
Meanwhile, the director of ‘Hanuman’ has taken to social media to respond to the mounting pressure, posting a cryptic message that reads, ‘Please… I… Kindly… Request!’ The coming days will undoubtedly unravel the fate of these five films and whether the festival of Sankranti 2024 will witness a cinematic spectacle or a clash of titans.
