Sankranti is the biggest festive season for Tollywood. Starting from small films to pan-Indian projects, every kind of movie wants to hit the screens during this period. Next year, around 4-5 big films are ready to hit the screens during the Pongal season.
One of them is Young Rebel Star Prabhas’ ‘Project K’ which is being directed by Nag Ashwin. It is a science fiction movie and the next in line is superstar Mahesh Babu and Trivikram’s action entertainer ‘Guntur Kaaram’. The makers already announced that it will hit the screens on 13th January. Pawan Kalyan is arriving with ‘Ustaad Bhagat Singh’ and Shankar’s pan-Indian project ‘Indian 2’ with Kamal Hasan is releasing at the same time.
Along with that, there is a high chance of ‘Pushpa 2’ hitting the screens during the festive season as well. At least three or four films from this lot will be locking horns with each other during the Sankranti season. The audience show a lot of interest in watching all the big films during this festive period. But the Telangana elections are going to be in January and the election commission has already announced it. There is a huge probability of Andhra Pradesh elections being held in advance as well.
If this happens, the effect of elections is going to be huge on the cinemas. Movies and politics are the most interesting topics in the Telugu states. With the election mood catching up to the public during the Sankranti period, the movies will have a huge problem with it. We need to see if the exciting Sankranti season gets affected by the elections or not.
