Prior to the second lockdown, the filmmakers in Tollywood decided to announce the release dates much ahead in order to avoid any kind of clash. Starting from small films to big-ticket flicks, every film locked its dates but all their plans went haywire once the second wave struck the nation. As there were zero shootings for over two months, the makers decided to postpone their releases. While some of the stars decided to arrive during the Dusshera season, Rajamouli’s ‘RRR’ occupied the entire festive season as it is hitting the screens on 13th October 2021.
Big heroes like superstar Mahesh Babu, Powerstar Pawan Kalyan and pan-Indian hero Prabhas have decided to enter the Sankranti race instead. It also gives them a lot of time to complete their shootings and there are high chances of Corona cases going drastically down by the Sankranti season of 2022. They decided to announce their respective release dates in August itself.
Pawan Kalyan is coming up with his multi-starrer flick on 12th January. It was announced recently and Rana Daggubati is the other lead. Nithya Menen and Aishwarya Rajesh are the heroines in this movie while it is being directed by Saagar K Chandra. Trivikram penned the dialogues for this remake of the Malayalam movie ‘Ayyappanum Koshiyum’ remake.
The next day, we will be watching superstar Mahesh Babu shining on the screen with ‘Sarkaru Vaari Paata’. Written and directed by Parasuram, this wholesome entertainer is getting released on 13th January and Keerthy Suresh is the heroine. The first look poster got a massive response and Mahesh’s new look was appreciated by everyone. There is another big update coming from the team of Mahesh Babu’s birthday i.e on August 9th.
On 14th January, Prabhas will be arriving with his pan-Indian film ‘Radhe Shyam’ which is a romantic drama set in the backdrop of Europe. The shooting has been wrapped up already but the massive budget and the post-production works forced the makers to arrive during the Pongal season. Radha Krishna Kumar is the director while Pooja Hegde is the heroine.
There are talks that ‘F3’ will also hit the marquee during the Sankranti season of 2022 but with three humongous stars locking the dates already, it is to be seen of the Venkatesh and Varun Tej’s multi-starrer arrives or finds another date.
